The press conference featured a host of anti-trans advocates from the sports world, including volleyball player Rebekah Allick, who openly called for Christian nationalism while rejecting the separation of church and state.

OK, lets unpack this:

James Madison was a strong advocate for the separation of church and state.

Madison was one of the Federalist Papers' authors. He is regarded as the inspiration for the Federalist Society.

The current "conservative" Supreme Court majority are all members of the Federalist Society.

They are also the ones most inclined to tear down the wall between church and state.

This makes zero sense.

Actually there were two of them:

This one-of-a-kind, near-G-scale trolley was made by Bill Ferguson in Toronto, Canada, in 1967.

That's the one you see Mr. Rogers interacting with in his home.

The missing ingredient in the HO neighborhood with all the houses and trees was an HO scale trolley.

So they built a smaller one, which you see at the beginning and end of each show.

For what it's worth, Discuit is open source and nonprofit; I've been there for over a year.

Because hey, why not? :)

For some of us, this was our introduction to trolleys.

More than two-thirds of Mormons are Republican, so it might be the same Jesus.

Still, I couldn't imagine either version hanging out with the "in" crowd.

Shakey questions?

You might want to correct the spelling error, otherwise it might be mistaken for a pizza inquiry.

 

The special session responds to the public statements and proposals put forward by President-elect Trump and his advisors, and actions taken during his first term in office — an agenda that could erode essential freedoms and individual rights, including women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights. A special session allows for expedited action that will best protect California and its values from attacks. The special session will begin December 2, when the Legislature convenes.
