She is certainly “leading” a “hate group” and “inciting violence” which is actually happening
But I guess the laws won’t apply to her and her racist followers

Yes
Esp. if they have retained:
Changing the objective “reasonable person” definition to effectively “reasonable Zionist” 🤦♀️
& Retrospective application
& designation of a prohibited group relies on police judgment to recommend to govt
& no procedural fairness (ie right of review)

In the name of Child Safety, EVERYONE in the US could be forced to submit a FACE scan before visiting a website.
Ps. Right now it's "Adult" sites or anything harmful to minors. (And BlueSky, Netflix, Reddit could be classified as such.)

I finally finished #BadLaw, by @elienyc.bsky.social
I started writing an essay on it. Maybe I'll record it and put it on the internet somewhere.
Either way, time to get past 5% on #Copaganda, by @equalityalec.bsky.social
@elienyc.bsky.social, I’m only on the book’s introduction, and I am already taking notes. #BadLaw
Paul M. Barrett described how the federal law exempting defective firearms from products liability lawsuits was written, introduced, & passed by Congress as a direct result of the many lawsuits brought by police officers who have shot their own legs due to the Glock safety.

Products liability for firearms manufacturers is not something to abolish!
If anything the manufacturers of machines that are expressly designed to do great harm to biological organisms should be held to the highest standard of care.

The obvious argument that starting a gunfight is less safe than not starting a gunfight. From Elie Mystal, Bad Law
I know this argument doesn't change minds, because I'm always making it and nobody cares. Still, starting a gunfight will not protect you or your family more than not starting the gun fight.
Living in a quick draw contest should terrify you.

Excerpt from Mystal's Bad Law, describing Ralph Nader as one of the architects of airline deregulation.
The same Ralph Nader that we were just gushing about in Thompson & Klein's Abundance?
Oh, wait ...

Page of Elie Mystal's "Bad Law," with the text "because our laws are choices" highlighted.
I'm only in Chapter 2, but I feel like this sentence from the intro might be the most important message in the book. Things don't just happen.

Bad Law #1
Registration laws are designed to disenfranchise eligible voters. This effort is an attempt to justify the Trump election EO....should be cautious in reporting any DOGE claim
