the cops that killed Tortuguita won't face any charges whatsoever because the shooting was "objectively reasonable," according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. in case you weren't quite certain whether we were still living in a police state.

the Notorious ADF has been up to some nonsense, according to a WaPo investigation: helping its U.S. clients establish wedding-vendor businesses, then filing lawsuits alleging those "business owners of faith" are having their rights infringed. that's how we got this year's disastrous 303 Creative v Elenis Supreme Court decision that found businesses can discriminate against customers for religious reasons.

thanks for reading tgirl journalism!
