SCOTUS deadlocked on the case that could have allowed the 1st religious public charter school, leaving in place the ruling that it's unconstitutional. The OK catholic church cited fed Indian boarding schools to argue that the fed govt has funded religious ed before.

If I were the owner of the @washingtonpost.com, I would not do a deal with the people who dismembered my columnist. Seems like a low bar, but Bezos managed to not clear yet another one. The world is awash in capital and that this is the choice should tell you all. He’s so poor, all he has is money.

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch The Handmaid's Tale. Now. Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA. When a book becomes alive. Too quick. It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong. #TheHandMaidsTale #USA #Facism

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.
