Had a real fun time educating people about #TheSatanicTemple (#ScientologyForMallGoths) today at #Seattle #PrideFest on #CapHill.
Thanks to the friends who came out to support the four #QueerSatanic #Heretics still being sued by The Satanic Temple in federal appellate court and now King County Superior Court.
#TST is also still suing Newsweek and its reporter (but maybe not her anymore!) for writing about us. In addition, the #SatanicTemple is now suing a TikToker in Texas for talking about our case. Check the profile link for more.

@specternicnevin As for us, we're not an organization. #QueerSatanic is just four former members of a local chapter who got kicked out and have been getting sued since April 2020, with the reasoning given by the Temple changing over that time as claims have repeatedly been dismissed

If anyone out there is capable of matching the next $100, $250, or $500… please speak up! Let’s stretch the donations and help these comrades fight this SLAPP and stand up to unjust authority.

For two and a half YEARS The Satanic Temple, its malicious agents, and its sycophants have screeched about how #QueerSatanic's conduct is "illegal"
But of course, the followers never even both to ask for evidence of what that illegality might be, why TST is doing all of this in civil court or with smear accounts rather than criminal law given the resources of the Temple's owners.

4. The Balance of Equities Favors Defendants, not TST
In addition to failing to show likelihood of success or irreparable harm, TST also fails to show that equities favor it. TST argues that this element is met because Defendants’ conduct is “illegal.” Yet, as discussed above, TST falls far short of establishing it will succeed on the merits of its conversion/trespass to chattels claims and thus cannot show that Defendants engaged in “illegal” conduct. Further, where the plaintiff falls well short of showing that the Defendants are wrongfully using a Facebook page, public policy will not be served by requiring Defendants to give up control before liability has been established. This is especially so when the plaintiff has waited over two and a half years to seek an injunction – thus demonstrating the lack of any immediate harm while the dispute is resolved.
While TST has failed to show any equitable grounds favoring a mandatory injunction, Defendants have clear equitable grounds for maintaining administration of the page. TST expressly represented to Defendants that they could use the Memes Page “free and clear.” TST then acted consistently with that statement by not seeking the return of the Memes Page for over two years. Defendants relied on those statements to freely use the Memes Page. If TST were allowed to now contradict its own express statements and actions, Defendants would be inequitably harmed, not TST. Principles of equity and estoppel demand that TST not be permitted to do so.
Bless the glorious admins at #Kolektiva for their character limit. Fully image description below the summary.
Lawyers are expensive, but #QueerSatanic's lawyers are pretty good.
They lay out in a more formal way what has happened so far, and preview what's coming: #TheSatanicTemple moved forward with this motion after being warned in June 2022 that we had emails and video of TST's local reps in their pyramid-shaped hierarchy saying the Facebook page TST national is now seeking was not something they owned or wanted.
We also point out how TST admits to *paying someone* to monitor criticism of the Temple and its owners, and this gives up the game about their claims that this has anything to do with a Facebook page since they're upset about criticism in any format: Reddit, podcasts, whatever.
We show where TST's lawyer continues to go out and say *unbelievably* ill-advised things about us and this case, which likely give some insight into TST's real motivations here. "Tell the judge on me again, I double dare you." Just incredible.
Finally, we argue that the judge should deal with whether or not to dismiss this case from federal court before dealing with the Temple's latest frivolity.

I. INTRODUCTION
As this Court is aware from pleadings and briefings over the last two and a half years, this case arises from a dispute between a religious organization, Plaintiff United Federation of Churches, LLC d/b/a The Satanic Temple (“The Satanic Temple” or “TST”), and four of its former members, Defendants, regarding TST’s displeasure with Defendants’ critical views about TST’s tenets and practices. TST’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction (“Motion”) is part of its ongoing attempt to silence Defendants. As with many of TST’s claims against Defendants that have been dismissed as a matter law, this Motion, too, lacks all merit. TST has not shown, and cannot show, the required elements for the extraordinary remedy of a preliminary injunction. For example, it cannot show that it will succeed on the merits of its common law claims that Defendants have wrongfully converted a Facebook page (the “Memes Page”1). Far to the contrary, TST expressly
told Defendants over two and a half years ago that they could have and use the Memes Page “free and clear and we’ve [TST] no desire to claim it.” Despite being fully aware of this fatal exculpatory evidence, TST does not even mention it in its Motion.
TST also can’t show that it will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief. Not only did TST give Defendants express permission to have and use the Memes Page “free and clear,” it waited for over two and a half years to bring this Motion, during which time it has been fully aware of Defendants’ ongoing use of the Memes Page. This delay alone proves false any claim of imminent or irreparable harm. Moreover, TST does not assert any conversion-based damages for the alleged conversion of the Memes Page. Instead, it attempts improperly to relitigate its dismissed defamation claim by arguing that it is damaged by the content being posted on the Memes Page and in other social media.
The true purpose of TST’s meritless Motion (filed the night before Thanksgiving after a two and a half year wait) is to harass Defendants and drive up their legal fees. TST knows the Defendants have limited resources to litigate this dispute and, as its attorney has publicly stated TST is using this litigation with the hope that the attorneys’ fees in this case “squeeze[] every last penny from you living corpses” [referring to Defendants]. Declaration of David Johnson in Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction (“Johnson Decl.”) ¶ 18 & Ex. 6 (emphasis added). More recently, just days before filing this Motion, TST’s attorney again publicly acknowledged using this litigation for the purpose of harassing Defendants, stating in a public
Tweet:
Are these fuckwits still talking about me? Grow up and file an answer so I can get at your financial records. I’m coming for you. Tell the judge on me again, I double dare you.
Id. ¶ 20 & Ex. 8 (emphases added).2 Given TST’s own blatant, public statements of an improper purpose, it is impossible to conclude other than that TST is improperly using this litigation to harass Defendants until they are bled dry through legal fees.
Finally, this Motion is improper because Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss for Lack of
Subject Matter Jurisdiction (Dkt. No. 33) is currently pending. The Court should first determine if it will retain jurisdiction over this case before deciding whether it will issue an injunction.
For these reasons and the reasons set forth below, The Satanic Temple’s Motion must be denied.
