THREAD: Missouri House Committee debates legislation tonight that could put plaintiffs in danger of harassment, death threats and physical harm. #MOleg
HB 728 prohibits people from anonymously filing church-state lawsuits. We’ve seen the impact firsthand. Plaintiffs should not be forced to go public as they fight to protect religious freedom for all. #MOleg
When Joanne Bell challenged public school-sponsored prayers, her home was burned down, and she was assaulted in the school parking lot. bit.ly/2XXmyou #MOleg
When Darla Kaye Wynne, a Wiccan, objected to opening a town council session with a Christian prayer in South Carolina, someone broke into her home, killed her pets and left a note saying "You're next!" bit.ly/2Hh98P1 #MOleg
When Madalyn Murray O’Hair challenged official prayer and Bible readings at her children’s public school, her kids were beaten and her house firebombed. #MOleg news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…
Bottom line: This bill endangers plaintiffs and discourages people from filing lawsuits to protect their religious freedom. The Committee should oppose HB 728. bit.ly/2UvAiEM #MOleg

Hi all! We're watching and will be live-tweeting the upcoming state Senate debate on South Dakota's SB 55, a bill to encourage posting "In God We Trust" in public schools. Follow along: 📺bit.ly/2RJhCz3 #sdleg
Why is posting "In God We Trust" in public schools such a bad idea?
🔺It leaves out many kids.
🔺The government shouldn't endorse religion.
🔺It's part of Project Blitz, a Christian nationalist agenda to pass state bills that destroy separation of church & state.

Want to know why states like South Dakota are considering "In God We Trust" bills like SB 55?

Good morning, all! It's Sam (@samsokol19) back live-tweeting Day 3 of the #KavanaughHearings. We're all a little tired 😴... but let's do this!
Yesterday, Kavanaugh dropped some major hints about how he plans to undermine church-state separation on the Supreme Court. #StopKavanaugh
Yesterday, Kavanaugh clearly stated that he thinks it's ok for the government to fund religious activities with taxpayer funds.

Each of us should get to decide for ourselves whether & how our money supports religion–that’s a guarantee of the U.S. Constitution. #StopKavanaugh

3/ DHS scrubbing social media and gathering personal info and then adding colored “X” over their photo.

And then creating dossiers on these individuals, ultimately revoking or limiting their ability to travel.

This is a #thread regarding Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv, the person who is currently claiming to be a trans woman and suing beauticians who have been refusing to wax their male genitals. I have decided to make this thread with neutral pronouns regarding Jonathan/Jessica because from
what I could gather they have chosen to be referred to as both Jonathan and Jessica and no amount of disgust and hatred I feel for someone could get me to misgender them on purpose. It took me ages to decide to actually make this thread happen because my story with this person is
very much still an open wound and traumatised me in ways I'm not sure I even fully comprehend. I appreciate RTs to get the word out, and I also am open to answering questions but please do not expect me to answer everything, this is very overwhelming. The only reason I am willing

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE:

The Presidency rejects allegations of opposition politicians, as well as some newspaper editorial opinions creating the impression that President Buhari is against the use of card readers in the upcoming elections,... (Cont’d)
... hence his decision to decline assent, for the 3rd time, to the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2018.

We wish to state in clear & unambiguous terms that the issue of e-voting and use of card readers was NEVER an issue for the President’s decision to decline assent to the Bill.
It is equally important that this issue was not raised either by the Executive or the Legislature in the recent reviews. Moreover, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) adoption of e-voting reforms is enshrined in the 2015 Amendment Act to the Electoral Reform Act.

I was of two minds as to whether this awful piece of writing in the @WSJ about British Muslims should be given any attention. On balance, given the misleading propaganda therein, deliberately designed to play on anti-Muslim bigotry, in a dangerous climate, here goes: #Thread
From the outset: I take extremism seriously. I was deputy convenor of the UK's government task-force on the issue, published a book with Brookings on it, and was seconded to the Foreign Office's counter-terrorism analyst team. This piece was not even on the level of amateur hour.
More broadly on Muslim Britons, Muslim Europeans and multiculturalism - I've been writing about that for a decade, and wrote a book on it with Edinburgh University Press. I'm not trying to brag here. There are far better academics than I. But this piece ignores all real work.
