The young people have prevailed. 

After a back-and-forth battle with the Trump administration, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Friday that a group of 21 11- to 22-year-old climate change activists can sue the government for harming their futures with a national energy system that produces dangerous amounts of greenhouse gases.

The highest court in the U.S. had previously halted the trial after the Donald Trump administration’s Department of Justice requested to hold off on hearing the group’s arguments against the country’s climate change policies.

The trial was supposed to start last week in Juliana v. United States. But just days before, the Supreme Court effectively said “hold up” in response to the DOJ request. The government said the trial would bring “irreparable harm” to the country.

Then, on Friday, the Supreme Court denied the stay — meaning the trial can go forward. The suit is filed in a U.S. district court in Oregon. Now the trial could start this month, according to NPR. 

The 22-year-old plaintiff named in the case, Kelsey Juliana, retweeted a post about the SCOTUS trial news Friday evening.

The nonprofit group Our Children’s Trust celebrated the news and, in a statement, Juliana said, “…these defendants are treating this case, our democracy, and the security of mine and future generations like it’s a game. I’m tired of playing this game.”

“These defendants” is the U.S. government. The climate fight moves forward.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a box office champion, my friends. (Sorrynotsorry for that pun.)

The Rami Malek-led journey into the life and times of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury scored an estimated $50 million in its opening weekend. That’s even more than the $45 million it was expected to pull in as of Friday.

It’s the best box office start for a music biopic since 2015’s N.W.A. story, Straight Outta Compton. That earlier movie, which opened with $60.2 million, had the best start ever for any movie in the genre. Bohemian Rhapsody now falls in at #2.

Notably, this could be one of the last 21st Century Fox movies released before Disney closes its big deal to acquire a number of key Fox holdings in film and television. The deal is expected to be finalized sometime in 2019.

Bohemian Rhapsody hasn’t exactly won over critics. A review from Mashable’s own Queen superfan, Christ Taylor, included this not-exactly-glowing endorsement: “[I]t is best to treat Bohemian Rhapsody as an extended music video. Don’t expect much more and you’ll have a fine time.”

(Chris still adored the movie and had a lot of very kind, positive things to say about it in his review.)

More broadly, the move has just a 60 percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes (and, importantly, an audience score of 95 percent). Crowds are loving it, which isn’t exactly a surprise. 

Queen is seriously huge, a world-renowned name on the level of David Bowie. This combination of beloved star (Malek), eye-catching title (does anyone not love the song?), and fascinating subject (Queen rules!) feels like a ready-made crowd-pleaser.

And now, your wholesome video of the week: Rep. John Lewis getting down to Pharrell’s “Happy.”

CBS News chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes captured the clip at a campaign event last Thursday for Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s Democratic candidate for governor. As you might expect, it is truly delightful.

Even Pharrell himself approves.

If elected, Abrams would be the first black woman elected governor in the United States. Her race will likely be a nail-biter though, which is why you should watch this video 10-12 times before election day to build up your spirit.

Thank you, John Lewis. You are truly the best among us.

Tuesday’s gonna be a great day for America! ….right? Please? I know the polls and the stats all bring good tidings. I know people are fed up with the constant stream of hate emanating from Washington, D.C. And all that energy is going to lead to some real change!

For the love of god, you’re all going out and voting on Tuesday, right?!!?!?!

Way to go, Saturday Night Live. This sketch nails it. I’m laughing (and also crying and oh god please just don’t forget to vote do whatever you have to and make it happen).
