Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

We grow up with the unacceptable, and accommodation becomes a tool we use to make our lives easier. Accommodating the unacceptable is often easier than doing the right thing. Eventually, we use it to let ourselves off the hook, because that’s easier, too.

I finally put the tree up today and decorated it. A pre-lit artificial tree is great. No major incursions by the kittens, Pixel and Pistachio, beyond some minor batting of ornaments by Pistachio. Also no garlands or tinsel, or ornaments below knee height.

This is why I support DEI. The existing system operates to exclude women and minorities. Period.

Merrick Garland will go down in history as a man who did irreparable harm to our nation — and our democracy — through his inaction. His nomination as attorney general by President Biden turns out to have been a horrendous mistake.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

"Well son, we used the internet mostly for porn and screaming our feelings. When it came time to look up things like "fascism" and "tariffs" I'm afraid it was a bridge too far for most."
