Trump’s DOJ says it’s now investigating MLB over Pride Night and Bible verse controversy

Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for Civil Rights at the Justice Department, said the probe was part of the Trump administration's ‘commitment to combatting religious discrimination’

Talk about weaponization of the DOJ. MAGA fucking loves their performative “woke” bashing. While they tank real issues, they can’t stop wasting resources on this shit.

I propose that the acronym DOJ and the names "Department of Justice" and "Justice Department" be entirely eliminated from any and all discussion of the US government.

The entity formerly known as the Department of Justice DOES NOT EXIST. It is wholly and completely gone, and has been replaced by an entirely different entity with an entirely different purpose. That entirely different entity needs an entirely different name - one that better reflects its entirely different purpose.

Maybe Department of Authority Abuse?

Department of Corruption and Malfeasance?

Department of Trump's Vengeance?

Department of Stop Talking About Epstein?

Department of Assholes?

I like all of those. I was thinking along the lines of "The Department formerly known as Justice". Or, taking a more direct approach, "The Department of Toddler Tantrums".

Focusing on the important, most pressing issues. As always.

Perhaps, but this one has historical roots. US oligarchs have been trying to shove Christianity down our throats since the Pilgrims and the theocracy known as the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

They're investigating the Trump-Epstein files and the MLB? The DOJ should get a raise for all this hard work. /s

I've given up on baseball for the time being.

Why yes, I am a Mets fan, what gave it away?

If you've given up on baseball, then how are you a fan of a baseball team?

Jesus didn’t say shit about queer people. Even Paul and the other con artists who wrote those bullshit stories about him never bothered to depict him doing so in all those hundreds of years between his death and the compilation of the “New Testament”.

Just gonna point out but based off of artifacts it probably only took about 80 years for things to start getting transcribed into the new testament, though that could be a bias towards what we have intact who knows they may have immediately written everything down while he was alive but all those examples got destroyed by time. We're lucky to have the "signature" of Charles the Great of Frankia and that's with active preservation by antiquarians while he was still alive kinda doubt a desert cult being in an actively suppressed region has that type of resources.

Note im a Neo-pagan not Christian I just find this area of archeology and history to be really fucken interesting.
