🏴 Fuck fascism. 🏴 Moreover, we’re still being sued by #TheSatanicTemple in federal appellate court and King County superior court. Also, TST is now suing Newsweek for writing about us and that case and a TikToker for talking about it.

We’re all going to die, and we’re all going to suffer a lot before we die no matter what we do.

But sometimes we are able to choose to suffer for the sake of things that really matter to us and that we hope will ultimately benefit us (or at least people like us we care about).

Sometimes you have to choose your suffering, not because you want to suffer but because you want to pick why you are — to pick what will kill you (which is why we live).

@QueerSatanic@kolektiva.social avatar

However, despite everyone from the Associated Press to Cosmopolitan to Cory Doctorow, etc., telling you how novel and exciting the Temple’s litigation is while it’s ongoing, as usual you can expect the follow-up on TST’s failures to be nil.

The Satanic Temple is very bad at court cases.

There certainly are things to be upset with in this conservative judge’s opinion.

Maybe it will be worth going through in detail as we did with the Indians abortion decision.

https://queersatanic.com/why-did-the-satanic-temple-lose-its-indiana-abortion-lawsuit/

But as that article tries to show, makes bad legal arguments specifically on abortion and they do it in every sort of court

For whatever excuses TSTers make, there is no reason for journalists and bloggers to keep acting like is “doing something” here

If anyone thinks I'm blowing smoke about SLAPP suits drawing retribution, here's video of a law firm involved in the SLAPP suits over the Mountain Valley Pipeline getting their office raided by land defenders late last year.

They literally trashed the place, dumping trash on the floor and generally messing the place up. As far as I am concerned, this is justice tempered with a great deal of mercy, and Penn Stuart had best learn from this.

They are as much a Mountain Valley Pipeline contractor as any equipment rental firm or pipeline welding company and just paid a price.

Whenever there's a snow forecast for Seattle I'm just like "whatever, that's not happening" and everyone tells me I'm being no fun or I'm not trusting the meteorologists or whatever and then? It doesn't snow.

The only time it ever snows here is by surprise. I don't know why. I don't make the rules.

2023 was a very bad year for in court

started two new lawsuits in in the most recent year, but the lost eight existing cases and seem to have completely abandoned two others.

Yet again, the legal performance of The Satanic Temple was disappointing and incompetent at best, but just as likely the worse conclusion is true: it was a needless waste of much-needed resources by attention-seeking malefactors.

The Temple often utilizes overly credulous liberal media outlets to advertise itself off of the possibility that their litigation might one day prove effective. But in 2023, the bill came due on many of those promises, and the result was failure upon failure.

TST lost two major abortion-ban challenges ("Ann Doe I", "Indiana").

TST lost an invocation challenge ("Boston"). TST lost a cluster of fruitless appeals for misbehavior in Belle Plaine ("Minnesota city monument case").

TST lost its Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation or "SLAPP" targeting former members ("Queer Satanic") and had its SLAPP against Newsweek whittled down to a single libel claim.

A lawsuit against a billboard company ("Lamar II") concluded after the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars, apparently on the same terms as if the lawsuit hadn't been filed at all.

And two other lawsuits in Texas were seemingly abandoned with no further activity in more than a year ("Ann Doe II", "the Satanic Housewife").

Compare the below chart with the state of affairs in December 2022 to grasp at a glance just how badly 2023 went for The Satanic Temple in the most recent year.

If it could go wrong, it did for TST in 2023.

Joe Biden is a shit politically and does much of what he does because it actually is his conservative preference, but Upton Sinclair or Lucy Parsons come again could be U.S. president and fundamentally little would change because you don't gain power by voting the right people in but by doing everything else so that it doesn't matter who gets voted for.

The issue is not that we need a "better president"; the issue is that the conservative project for more than 40 years has made it such that anybody they elect will achieve roughly the same policy goals regardless.

@igd_news In addition to the sympathetic versus oppositional politics element, you have to imagine that the fact the cops are not actually threatened by anything here emboldens them to brutalize people with expectations of impunity.
