  THE BIG STORY
The Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration violated federal law when it rescinded the DACA program
The court's decision does leave open the possibility that the Trump administration could rescind DACA — just that the process by which it did so in this case was unlawful.
 DACA plaintiffs walk from the US Supreme Court after justices heard oral arguments. Jonathan Ernst / Reuters Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the record showed the Department of Homeland Security failed to consider certain "conspicuous" issues when it decided to rescind DACA, including what to do about the young people who had already relied on the program.

BLACK TRANS SEX WORKERS ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES
Black trans sex workers want people to say their names — while they’re alive
Black trans people are more likely than their white counterparts to face employment discrimination and housing insecurity, and criminalization for their gender presentation under statues that permit police to profile people they think may be engaging in sex work.
Those who sell sex face even greater criminalization and the possibility of violence at both the hands of the police and their clients.
 Milan Nicole Sherry; Courtesy Milan Sherry BuzzFeed News spoke to four Black trans women who are current and former sex workers about what they’re fighting for right now, what they need people to understand, and what they see as the most urgent changes necessary to help their communities.

Gen Z is making fun of millennials on TikTok
A new trend has emerged on TikTok of Gen Z viciously mocking millennials. They make fun of the older generation for being stereotypical cringey Harry Potter- and coffee-obsessed people who use terms like “adulting” unironically.
(As a millennial/Gen Z cusp and BuzzFeed News’ resident young, I felt both attacked and completely validated by these TikToks.)
 TikTok "I don’t think it’s a revenge thing, but a time to stand up. I think a lot of Gen Z kids feel like they’ve been mocked by millennials for doing weird stuff or not being up to their standards," 19-year-old Sammy Tully said.
Serena Shahidi, a 20-year-old TikTok star, also explained that Gen Z and millennials are coping with the same broken system — it's just that they're making fun of millennials' particular coping mechanisms.
"I think just because we grew up without the serious dreams that millennials had, and that we kind of grew up with this lack of hope, that we’ve learned to accept and make a joke out of it."
