Trump’s stupid Bible and his stupid Jesus-less Christianity are perfect for America’s Christ-less Christians, and a godless Christianity devoid of caring for the stranger and the poor is exactly what they’ve been waiting for. He’s the messiah AND a very naughty boy! (Amanda Marcotte at Salon)

Nassau County, Long Island, what the fuck now?
Sports leagues and teams seeking permits to play or practice in county-run parks must disclose whether they have or allow transgender women or girls. Any organization that allows them to play will be denied a permit, though men’s leagues and teams aren’t affected.
Yeah, the roller derby league says fuuuuuuck nooooo. (NBC News)

Matt Maddock, who’s so gross he was thrown out of the Michigan Republican caucus by Michigan Republicans, is pretty sure the Gonzaga men’s basketball team was IMMIGRANT VADERS. Also his wife sucks too. (Joe. My. God.)
Hey remember when states used to pay for “college”? Well apparently Minnesota just did that, with “historic” university investment, per Inside Higher Ed. Oh yeah, here’s loveliness:
The largest and most impactful focus of that expenditure is a new financial aid initiative, North Star Promise, under which students from families making less than $80,000 a year will receive free tuition to any public college in the state they’re admitted to. The program takes effect in the fall, but students will begin receiving financial aid offers reflecting the waiver over the next few months. About 15,000 students are likely to qualify, according to estimates from the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
And guess what, kids are going to college again in Minnesota, who could have predicted.
Meanwhile, it was polite of Tressie McMillan Cottom to only talk about the “moral panic” about “‘woke’ campuses” in terms of legislation, and not in terms of, say, The New York Times, for whom she was writing. (Gift link NYT)
Snipy, or Lisa Needham now, goes long on Judge Charles Breyer just murdering poor Elno’s SLAPP suit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate. (Public Notice)
