I sat in the courtroom for this hearing on Thursday and listened to the federal government bend over backwards to try and justify their roving patrols as not at all racist and unconstitutional

They failed spectacularly. Miller’s rhetoric is predictable &dangerous, but also the gov is full of idiots

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

I mean, if everything is going in the shitter, there’s no reason to have anti-gay people have all the fun; start making religious objections to all sorts of stuff. The Ten Commandments getting put into class all over, for instance. That’s at least 40% religious orthodoxy.
SCOTUS, by Justice Alito, holds that it violates the religious exercise of parents for public schools to have LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks without allowing parents to opt-out their children from seeing them.

This is increasingly reminding me of the time I shaved off half an eyebrow. It was morning, I was shaving in the shower, I was perhaps sleepy (skeptics may say hung over), and after shaving my face I absent-mindedly started shaving my eyebrow, perhaps because it is also hair on my face?
