Louisiana tried to require the 10 Commandments in schools. A federal judge ruled Tuesday that it’s unconstitutional, but that’s already been appealed—and God knows how many copycat laws we'll see in the end. Maybe it's time for a scholarly (justice-centered) review of the contents of the Big Ten?

FYI for people who now have "Invalid handle" instead of the one they chose. If you see your handle now says “Invalid handle,” reverify it by navigating to Settings > Change my handle > Type in your current handle > Verify DNS Record > Update. (Basically, update to the same handle.)

Twitter is nuking every single post that mentions the name Hans Kristian Graebener, even in quotes. Everyone that posts it is getting hit. I've never seen sitewide censorship like this done specifically on behalf of a neo nazi.
