We can manifest this, if we think about it enough. And just all use it.

I replaced F with "fascist" and then the TER is redundant but I like this better. Little clearer than just F lol

That’s why it’s so disappointing we settled on TERF as an acronym when FART (Feminism-Appropriating Radical Transphobe, original coiner unknown) was right there.

⚡️EU optimistic about joining Special Tribunal to prosecute Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Nope. Not even then.

This opinion is now binding law in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

I hate it here.

What the founding generation understood as an establishment of religion is a legal question to be decided by a court, not a “fact” question to be decided by experts, no matter how credentialed. To be sure, courts must make a determined effort to grasp the relevant history bearing on that legal question. Hilsenrath, 136 F.4th at 491 (“This kind of historical inquiry requires serious work.” (citation omitted)); McDonald v. City of Chicago, 561 U.S. 742, 803 (2010) (Thomas, J., concurring) (noting “[h]istorical analysis can be difficult”). See generally Heller, 554 U.S. at 592–95, 600–03, 605–19. They do so by consulting articles, books, and historical sources and bringing their own independent judgment to bear on them—not by appointing an “expert,” whose “findings” are insulated by clear-error review on appeal.57 _________________

And then, in one last bizarre twist, the Court says that judges aren't allowed to ask experts in history about questions of history, because experts impact "independent judgment."

Brb going to scream.

But this principle has no application to government use of religious language or symbolism. See Lynch, 465 U.S. at 687 n.13 (declining to apply denominational preference cases to city crèche). Nor could it. Consider the cities of Corpus Christi, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Fe, San Jose, St. Augustine, and Sacramento, to name just a few. Do those names represent “denominational discrimination”? Or take our national motto. See 36 U.S.C. § 302 (“In God We Trust”). Does it show “favoritism” for monotheism over polytheism?

The Fifth Circuit says religious freedom doesn't apply to religious symbols posted by the government because place names exist.

I am not joking.

That is what they said.

Moreover, Plaintiffs have not identified a shred of founding-era evidence equating the government’s use of religious text, displays, or symbols with an establishment of religion. To the contrary, it appears that no one “ever claimed at the founding that the display of religious symbols was a form of religious establishment.” Chapman & McConnell,

See, the Ten Commandments in schools isn't coercive because that's not what the Founders considered coercive.

And then, we get to the most remarkable and batshit part of this whole opinion.

The key phrase—“an establishment of religion”—was readily understandable to founding-era citizens. See District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 576–77 (2008) (relying on a phrase’s “[n]ormal meaning . . . known to ordinary citizens in the founding generation”). The reason is simple. At the time, establishments were “a familiar institution.” McConnell, Establishment, supra note 12, at 2107.13 Someone on the streets of 1789 Boston, reading that phrase, would have instantly thought of the Church of England, the colonial established churches, or the current state establishments—in other words, a polity’s official church or religion. Ibid.

Although the colonial establishments became more tolerant of dissenters as independence approached, their essence remained unchanged. The original state constitutions reflect as much. Far from rejecting establishments, many states preserved the core components of their establishments, such as public financial support for the official church, regulation of religious institutions, and religious qualifications for civic participation.36 Most explicit was South Carolina, whose 1778 Constitution declared that “the Christian Protestant religion” was “the established religion,” requiring religious societies to subscribe to enumerated articles of faith to receive legal recognition. S.C. Const. of 1778, art. XXXVIII, reprinted in Poore, State Constitutions, supra note 36, at 1626.

The Fifth Circuit flatly states that when the First Amendment says Congress may not create an "establishment of religion," it means the Church of England. They then argue the Founders intended states to have their own churches unaffected by the First Amendment (!!!).

to probe and constantly test us, and to scare people so they will pressure their governments to stop supporting Ukraine.

So, the sooner all of us get serious about inflicting consequences on Russians for what they’re doing, the sooner it stops.

HODGES: These gray-zone operations that Russians conduct against all of us mean that Russians are actually at war with us, even if they’re not launching Kinzhal missiles against London, Berlin, or Gdansk.

The fact is, Russians are using all of their tools to create dissension, to fracture us,

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges by Alabama grand jury Justice department’s inquiry focused on the civil rights organization’s prior use of paid informants to monitor hate groups, the CEO said

The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.

Rats fleeing the ship fucking finally?

That means it's probably going to happen.

Emmett Till, murdered this day in 1955, would be younger than the following people:

Bob Dylan
Nancy Pelosi
Sir Patrick Stewart
Ian McKellen
Willie Nelson
James Clybourn
Sir Cliff Richard
Smokey Robinson
Charles Grassley
Ringo Starr

You'd think that high pitched mewl would have disqualified him altogether for Trump, but I guess they really needed a token , who they could immediately fire so he can be replaced by a white man.

If they don't like it maybe they should look at getting rid of districts altogether for statewide and national elections.
