Like doxxing people on trial in the name of "justice," or getting the pitchforks out to drive out the undesirables.

Mitt Romney posted:Please do explain how that strategy will help him secure the GOP nomination. I didn't say that it would, but saying nothing is tantamount to accepting this racist bullshit and you can bet your rear end Hillary will make Cruz or Rubio burn for not outright rejecting it.

Gamergate has poisoned the words "feminism" and "social justice" and made them bad words. Anyone using the term "social justice" on the internet these days is usually scoffing at it. So in that way it's a useful litmus test to instantly identify people who suck.

The bit on Tax Administration is hilarious: apparently firing IRS employees acting politically in an offical capacity needed its own sub-clause.

Parents at a private Catholic high school in Detroit just now realized that they let Muslims (and anyone else who wants to) pray in their prayer room and are very angry about this because it will make their "religious education undetermined" because I guess Islam spreads through osmosis. The high school's official policy is that it does not discriminate against any religion and is not meant to specifically promote or convert students to Catholicism.

One of the biggest winners in the omnibus: James Billington, who becomes Librarian Emeritus for the Library of Congress and gets to keep an office. The bill also keeps in place a ban on federal interference with state-level marijuana laws.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:Hmm. Maybe perhaps because it has more in common with workplace violence than extremist jihadism? It was a terrorist attack committed at the workplace. If someone at your work supports the efforts of ISIL, they deserve to be interned. Also, I find it quite unfortunate that we do not have legislation which prevents the next of kin from collecting terrorists' pensions. As a public employee, this terrorist will have death benefits for his next of kin. Terrorism should qualify for an automatic denial of those benefits; when you commit terrorism, your children shouldn't be rewarded with thousands of dollars.

I mean, in that vein: still workplace violence.

Since a group with heritage doesn't like the omnibus spending bill I am going to assume it's a net gain for society in general. Oil exports is pretty lovely, though, since it will most certainly lead to environmental harm to wherever country wants to destroy their land in exchange for a few jobs. Except it likely fucks over Russia and gently caress they suck.

Something I saw and forgot about until The Verge saw it too: the omnibus prevents any spending on efforts to divest ICANN as an international agency separate from the US Department of Commerce.
