Here's a report that shows how bigoted court rulings and gov't policies have lead to a more (openly) bigoted society:

Just because a court (a SuPrEmE court, even!) says or implies it's OK to be shit to trans people does not mean it's OK to be shit to #trans people.

I just wish people would be more skeptical towards authorities including SuPrEmE court judges.

If you see a green box around your face on screen at the checkout kiosk, they are (illegally) capturing your biometric data - face mapping without getting your consent. Class action suit in Illinois, which has one of the strongest privacy laws in this regard.

These developments could herald a shift from America’s vaunted #FreeMarket system to one that resembles, at least in some corners, a form of #state-managed #capitalism more frequently seen in #Europe &, to a different degree, #China & #Russia, say lawyers, bankers & academics steeped in the history of #HostileTakeovers & international #business

Companies are looking for ways to defend against interference from President Trump or at least mollify him.

The order instructs the AG to "vigorously prosecute" people who violate #flag desecration laws & 🚨🚨pursue litigation TO CLARIFY THE SCOPE OF THE #FirstAmendment 🚨🚨 regarding the issue, the fact sheet said.

In addition, the EO directs the AG to refer flag desecration cases to #state or #local authorities. It also instructs the admin to prohibit & terminate #visas, #ResidencePermits & #naturalization proceedings for those who desecrate the flag.

#SCOTUS in Texas v Johnson, 491 US 397 (1989), & reaffirmed in US v Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990), ruled that due to the #FirstAmendment to the #US #Constitution, it is #unconstitutional for a #government (whether #federal, #state, or #municipal) to prohibit the desecration of a #flag, due to its status as "symbolic speech."

#CashlessBail is a system where defendants are released from #jail while awaiting trial based on their promise to appear in court, rather than by paying a specific cash amount.

Many low-income people can't afford to post bond.

The nationwide #ExecutiveOrder will direct US AG #PamBondi to submit a list of #local & #state jurisdictions with cashless bail policies & identify #federal funds in those places that could be "suspended or terminated”.

קיבלתי במייל בקשה להצטרף לעצומה, הקוראת בשמי כאזרח ישראלי למדינות העולם להכיר במדינה פלסטינית ולהצטרף למדינות שכבר עשו או הצהירו שיעשו כן. אני טרם גיבשתי עמדה בנושא.

האם את.ה תומכ.ת בהכרה כזו כעת?
