I'm proud of you for standing up against your racist xenpphobic administrators.I'm particularly angry because my 9-year-old son is in the Boise school district and I hate to think that racist xenophobes might also exist in my son's school district & have power over the quality of my son's education.

@glennkirschner.bsky.social In 2017 Elon took $50K deposits for a Roadster that still doesn't exist. He just kept the money. Hypothetically speaking, could that ever become a RICO case? Could all or part of Tesla be seized by the government? Not in Trump's America, but in an alternate reality?

If he dies -- even of natural causes -- a civil war will erupt, because his followers are stupid enough and gullible enough to truly believe that Trans Athletes (or whatever the Rightwing Boogieman at the time is) conspired to destroy their Beloved God-king, not his Hamberder-clogged arteries.

@parkroseperma.bsky.social I might do a YouTube channel profiling Idaho voters & politicians on both sides to show we're all just humans with many shared values.Changing hearts & minds and speaking truth to power. Is it worth doing...will any Republicans agree to be interviewed in front of a camera?

@parkroseperma.bsky.social Hi, Angela. I'm a big fan of your YouTube channel. I just watched the short about getting Democratic senators on the record regarding cloture.What are those of us in (Republican stronghold) Idaho do?My senator("Crappy Dean" Crapo) is actively avoiding his constituents,BTW.

@sanders.senate.gov Bernie,when I read your posts I can't *not* hear you speaking every word.Sorry to say: it's getting kind of annoying.

If you're gonna be haunted by a spectral visit from an elected official, may as well be one of your heroes, am I right? Help us Bernie Wan! You're our only hope!

@sanders.senate.gov Please take over for Hakeem Jeffries.You've got the one thing he will never have:a spine.

Please use your influence to guide our country back to Liberty & Justice,starting with your colleagues.

Would you consent to an interview on my YouTube channel? I'll be talking to people on both sides of the aisle that are like you and me, so that we can start to think of the other side as human instead of demons.

So, when I make the YouTube channel I'll be promoting it on Nextdoor, but turning off comments so it less likely to be deleted. People will be able to comment in the corresponding post I put in a local and national politics group on Nextdoor.

I'm going to start a new YouTube channel where I interview the people of Boise and (perhaps most importantly) our elected officials, so we can all get to know each other and realize that both sides share a number of the same values.

I also want elected officials to show us who they really are.

I stopped looking at the notifications of replies to my post because I don't want to get banned for accidentally tearing some MAGA neighbor a new one while spitting out facts and citing my sources.Also, I go too hard & I like shaming Trump voters.I felt the need to tell them how bad they fucked up

Argued: January 30, 2025 Decided and Filed: March 6, 2025 Before: WHITE, READLER, and MATHIS, Circuit Judges.

OPINION
HELENE N. WHITE, Circuit Judge. Defendant-Appellant Kim Davis, in her capacity as the clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, refused to issue a marriage license to Plaintiffs-Appellees David Moore and David Ermold. Plaintiffs sued Davis under 42 U.S.C. Β§ 1983, claiming that Davis violated their constitutional right to marry. After several interlocutory appeals, the district court entered judgment for Plaintiffs on liability and a jury awarded them compensatory damages. Davis now appeals, arguing that she is entitled to qualified immunity, that she has affirmative defenses to liability under the Free Exercise Clause and the Kentucky Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and that Plaintiffs' evidence of their emotional distress was insufficient to support the jury's award. We AFFIRM.

In high school, I spent a lot of time in Detention. A teacher proctering we miscreants used to describe New Yorker cartoons and ask us to supply the captions. The NYer currently now has such a contest. I think it's even more fun to look at the cover and think up what the title might be.

If I wasn't down to my last 6 cents I'd move to Minnesota, because at this point in time it might be *the only state in the union I'd feel safe and free in*.
