Louisiana now requires classrooms to display the 10 Commandments by law

In 1980, in Stone v Graham, The Supreme Court ruled that Kentucky violated the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment by requiring the 10 Commandments be displayed in classrooms

This was long before a rogue, irreparably corrupt Supreme Court would legislate from the bench…

Only Satan can save us now.

"Over the weekend, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was stumping for Donald Trump in Las Vegas, Nevada, when she compared the convicted felon to Jesus. 'The Democrats and the fake news media want to constantly talk about "Oh, President Trump is a convicted felon."' Greene told the crowd, before launching into what the Bible might characterize as 'blasphemy.'"

#TrumpTrial Thurs 30 May 2024 🧵#Deliberations continue

Justice #Merchan says he believes that the #jury wants him to repeat a significant portion of the #JuryInstructions.

He will read pages 6-35.

Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.

Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.

Corporate profits hit record-highs, yet price hikes won’t stop.

Why?

Well, in 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago.

Ben Bradford looks at how, despite claims to the contrary, the new right and the old right are the same old critter. What's continuous in Republican politics for decades is the desire to "organize discontent" by inflaming rage among voters with an endless supply of manufactured culture-war grievances.

Dangle new imaginary threats in front of them and keep them enraged, and they'll keep voting GOP, regardless of the economic harm to themselves.
