“The universal injunction was conspicuously nonexistent for most of our Nation’s history,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in the majority opinion.
So was your right to vote. Shall we let the executive branch take that away on a whim as well?

Over a billion dollars to fight... (checks notes) the concept of people not being 100% aligned masculine/straight/male or feminine/straight/female.
WTF‽ What made them think that the 0.5%-2% of the population (depending on who you ask) that land at the edges of the sex spectrum are worth that level of hate?
No, by only funding secular organizations the government is not picking and choosing which religions win and which don't.
Secular is the neutral position. When you fund a religious institution you have discriminated against all the others. When you pick a secular organization you haven't discriminated against anyone's religion because you chose the org that—by definition—isn't religious.
Fund only secular organizations. It's the most ethical solution.
Yes, that's what happens when you mix religion and government: The government ends up influencing the religion much, much more than the other way around.
If you're a religious organization and you accept funding from a government you're falling into a trap. The government can threaten to remove that funding in the future for any given reason; such as the whims of a corrupt administration.
"If you don't change your ways (i.e. your religion) you won't get this funding anymore."
I argue that any religion that accepts such a bargain was corrupt from the start. The people in charge never truly believed in the first place if they're willing to change what they do/preach based on the whims of funding.
It's green! Those babies were upcycled!
Meh: It's inevitable. It's really Valve that we should blame for dragging their feet for so long.
It could've been pewter. You can melt that in a pan on the stovetop. 170-230°C is all it takes and your typical electric stovetop can get up to 800-900°C.
Melt some PET water/soda bottles (e.g. with a heat gun) so the plastic drips on to the bottom side and scratch out a huge ass warning into it with a hobby knife (or any knife, really... It's just PET). Also write another warning with a sharpie in multiple locations.
Why this method? Because that plastic will stick pretty good to the bottom of a cast iron pan—making anyone thinking of using it think twice, "How TF am I going to get that off without making a gross burning plastic stink?" Or a fool will try and quickly get annoyed that it won't sit flat on their stovetop and it'll be too far away from an induction heater to work. Make the plastic nice and uneven 👍
Also, if you're just hanging it up on the wall no one will see the bottom so it won't uglify your pretty hanging pan.
Melting a water bottle with a heat gun happens pretty fast and the iron pan will absorb the heat in the plastic quickly too. So the whole process will take less than a minute. Then scratching out a warning label will take a few minutes 😁
More Americans are witnessing people being hauled off as they shop, exercise at the gym, dine out and otherwise go about their daily lives
There was another time in history when this happened. It's pretty famous. Maybe the news media could make that reference? Nah, that would be too prescient and "too biased." In the same way the news media didn't report the same things realistically for the same reason during that other time in history when this happened.
You obviously haven't met it's immodest cousin: The lamp pole dancer.
