@AlliFlowers Quite a few folks have built their own church of prejudices, a dual-use building also serving as their personal mental jail.
@AlliFlowers Yeah, why would Biden not issue a comment on Hamas & "Islamic Jihad" bombing Palestinian hospitals & schools per misfires, then cowardly accusing Israel of having done it?
@AlliFlowers Reminder, that Florida was part of the defeated Confederacy, now mobilizing to reintroduce segregation-like bans of efforts to promote diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI).
As does Texan insurrectionary fellow-Confederate Abbott's regime, absurdly arguing DEI itself would produce discrimination (against "whites" speculatively).

@marcelias American Bar Association: Founded in 1878.
Federalist Society: Founded in 1982.
Federalist Society's ex-(vice) president Leonard Leo put 5 of 6 biased con-servative/illiberal majority justices on the bench.
Time to regulate & contain the partisan influence of Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society, for the sake of Americans' democracy, human & civil rights.
