"If SCOTUS says we can discriminate against people with immutable characteristics then does it follow we can discriminate base on non-immutable characteristics like political party or religion? So can we get control of airlines that don't allow Southern Baptists or Catholics?

2. Restaurants and Hotels that keep lists of people by religious affiliation? Remember, there are 8 million more woke people in the US than the MAGA troglodytes. So can we #WokeFolk use investment power to control boards to make life living hell for the people supporting Trump?

3. And do it lawfully because Johnny Roberts and his MAGA Catholic SCOTUS crew says it's okay?" Thoughts from Tim Hogan

I approve this message.

Can someone recommend me accounts that cover the #USCourts? It would be coolest if it covered the #CircuitCourts, as there's already a lot of easy ways to find out about the #SCOTUS

I love the concept of #ShortCircuit, the #podcast I listen to which currently fulfills this need, but it's run by people with really strong conservative/libertarian biases. I don't really want to support folks who bring the #CatoInstitute onto their show like it's a good thing
