U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone believes that a first-term Trump administration regulation exempting nuns from paying for healthcare plans that cover contraceptives is administratively improper. She also holds that uncontested, repeated shaming of white employees for their race is not "severe or pervasive" enough to create a hostile work environment.

Modern science rose uniquely from European Christian nations.
This stemmed from the belief that an intelligent God created the universe and the laws that govern it, and it can be fruitfully investigated.

Systemic Terrorism and The Illusion of #Democracy – George Tsakraklidestsakraklides.com/2024/08/09/sy…
The most effective way to keep democracy permanently disabled is to maintain the illusion that it exists. Rather than dissolving democratic institutions, global capital zombified them much like a deep fake that steals your voice, your face, and your reputation. This pseudo-democracy may sound like an oxymoron, but it isn’t. Technically people can still vote, but their votes are the result of microtargeted brainwashing by media empires owned by global capital. Decision-making and debate continue to take place via “democratic” parliamentary procedures, but all MPs are prostitutes to corporate stakeholders.
But along with the illusion of democracy, there is an illusion of politics altogether – that is, the illusion that people have choices when they enter the voting booth. We live with the delusion that our vote still counts for something, because we have not started questioning this system. We may have more plurality than ever, but it is different flavours of the same narrative. While old fascism dismantled all political parties, the capitalist terror state has made them all the same, achieving the same result. Voting is pointless when the necrosystem owns us, the media have rendered truth irrelevant, and choice is now limited to one corrupt politician over another. We are powerless as long as profit owns our politics.

The most effective way to undermine a democracy today is to purchase it and force each citizen to buy a share in it. In one step you have seized power and eliminated all potential opposition.…George Tsakraklides

Same shitty planes.

Worse service.
