"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

It is often claimed that atheists, (which is just another term for people without religion) don't have anything uniting them beyond a lack of belief in supernatural things.

This is misguided. At the very least, they all face a movement that wants to force religion on them.

"Still, stepping back, any observer can see that the era of 'strict sep-
aration' between church and state is over."

One of the best parts of non-belief and #atheism is the ability to recognize that meaning does not excuse, the future is not written, and that therefore nothing is ever over.

The Supreme Court had three religious freedom cases last Term. With @richschragger.bsky.social and @nelsontebbe.bsky.social, our latest comments on them, extending our analysis of religious preferentialism under the First Amendment.

The Structure of Religious Preference - Harvard Law Review
A revolution has occurred in the law of religious freedom. At this point, the picture is reasonably clear. The Supreme Court has greatly expanded the scope of the Free Exercise Clause.

Scientific literacy of the public.
What’s something random you feel like science should be more focused on ?

I feel like they shoulda figured out a way to perfect bug proof houses by now 😭

I like this piece a lot about Rosalind Franklin’s role in solving the structure of DNA. It really respects her as a full scientist - what she saw, what she didn’t appreciate, what could have been if she’d had true peers to support her, or had not died so young.

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

On what apparently now needs to be an almost daily reminder, limitations to reproductive rights can only be justified through religion.

Strictly secular governance is necessary to protect these rights. With religion present in politics, these rights will always be threatened.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Limitations or incursions on reproductive rights or LGBT rights can only be justified through religious reasoning.

For example, Someone may claim to be an atheist, but if they profess anti-trans views, they have left atheism behind and the label doesn't fully apply to them any longer.

Once again, it must be pointed out that without religion, there is no justification to limit trans rights.

Any such limits are unquestionable violations of the first amendment.

Again, trans discrimination is founded solely on religious grounds. Without religion, there is no "debate" as described in this ruling. This is the court clearly violating Americans free exercise of religion. #atheism
BREAKING: The Sixth Circuit, in a 10-7 en banc decision, holds that an Ohio school district's anti-bullying policy that requires students to use children's preferred pronouns is likely unconstitutional on these facts.

Judge Murphy, a Trump appointee, writes the court's decision.

In Christianity, love of God comes first, charity after (if at all). It can easily lead to this. True charity emerges from secularism.
Evangelicals are hot for starving kids.

The Constitution guarantees the right to exercise religion freely. This means in the US, people have the right to NOT exercise religion. It is illegal for the government to use your resources to promote religion.

Yet here we are.

Religious people should call this out.
