Happy Monday, BELatina.

We started the week still unable to digest Friday’s news. Between marches and discussions around the dinner table, the only thing we’ve been thinking about this weekend has been the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the fear we have of what’s to come.

But as we well know, the best tool is always to be well informed. That’s why we always start our weeks by bringing you the most important news.

From the signs of discontent over the Supreme Court decision to the winners of the Tu Música Awards, these are the most important news of the weekend.

Olivia Rodrigo and Lily Allen say ‘F*ck You’ to the Supreme Court at Glastonbury Festival

Olivia Rodrigo ensured her first appearance at Glastonbury Festival would be unforgettable when she brought pop star Lily Allen on stage for a duet of Allen’s “F*ck You.” Rodrigo dedicated the song — which includes lyrics like “look inside your tiny mind, now look a bit harder/’Cause we’re so uninspired/So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor” — to Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh, who all voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Illinois Republican tells Trump rally that Roe verdict a ‘victory for white life’

Illinois Republican Mary Miller told a crowd at a rally held alongside former president Donald Trump that the supreme court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade was a “victory for white life.” “President Trump, on behalf of all the Maga patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the supreme court yesterday,” she said, drawing cheers from the crowd in Illinois. Miller is running for reelection in the state’s newly redrawn 15th congressional district against GOP Republican Rodney Davis with the former president’s blessing. She had been invited on stage to speak by Trump, who held the rally in Mendon, Illinois, to turn out the vote ahead of the state’s primary on Tuesday.
