Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 25/06/2026And the footnote there seems to suggest that it's impossible to trespass on property that's open to the public. That is simply not true. So long as you're not illegally discriminating against someone, you can kick whomever you want off your property. If that person comes back, they are trespassing. 000
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 25/06/2026And the reasoning in this case is crazy. Hawaii pointed to laws in PA and NJ from both before and after the founding that prohibited carrying guns on someone else's land without permission. The Court waves them off as primarily prohibiting hunting on someone else's land, and therefor not relevant. 100

Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 12/02/2026The next time anyone tells you that someone subject to law enforcement action "must have been doing something wrong," remember this moment. 012
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 28/01/2026I guess I missed this episode of The Office during its initial run! 000
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 10/11/2025The @democrats.org know they just won an election, right? A win that sent a clear signal which side Americans are on in this? Did they forget that after only five days?! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11... 030
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 06/11/2025Schumer is "In danger of" looking out of touch? That ship has long since sailed, @nytimes.com. 020
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 05/11/2025Good to know he acknowledges that the shutdown is hurting his party. Maybe they can address the AHA concerns and get this resolved? Probably not. 030
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 22/10/2025#NotTheOnion A guy is suing his former employer for not accommodating his religious belief that he should never be alone in a room with a woman to avoid "the appearance of evil." So the argument is it's religious discrimination to *not* engage in gender discrimination. Wild. 100
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 05/02/2025For those playing along at home, this is the President of the United States openly advocating for an ethnic clensing (or a genocide) in a press conference with another head of state.

Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 01/02/2025In case anyone needs it, here are some cat pictures. 061
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 27/01/2025It's possible I dropped a cat toy in my boot. 020
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 23/01/2025@mattcameron.bsky.social, you'll be shocked to learn that, according to Trump's DOJ, illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... 131
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 03/01/2025Congratulations, #Meta. You've introduced us to the concept of corporate blackface. 150
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 21/12/2024Happy #Solstice, everyone! Here's to longer days! 020
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 12/12/2024Name the most worthless device you can think of and I'll raise you a heat lamp for a candle. 030
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 12/12/2024Numerous courts have concluded that the government cannot legally force anyone to participate in a #12step program because they amount to religious coercion and violate the #EstablishmentClause and #FreeExerciseClause of the #FirstAmendment.

Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 09/12/2024This Order from Judge Proctor in the Northern District of Alabama is amazing! I cannot wait to read the court-ordered joint report of how the attorneys' lunch went and how much they tipped their server. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... 162
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 04/12/2024Ah, the olden days of 2004, when terms like "Googling" required an explanatory #footnote. #LawSky 130
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 03/12/2024Gotta love enjoying a nice #whiskey while watching The Untouchables. 120
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 02/12/2024Nina wishes it be known that she has not been fed in well over an hour, which she believes is a clear violation of her Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishments. 190
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 25/11/2024Nina's here to receive head scritches and chew gum. And she's all out of gum. 360
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 24/11/2024WARNING: This #cat photo contains #toebeans. Nina is sleepy but I couldn't resist a photo. 080
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 24/11/2024Bowie and Nina each have their own way of asking for attention. 0381
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 22/11/2024News outlets need to stop reporting on the "Department of Government Efficiency" as if it's a thing that actually exists. It doesn't. It won't. That would take an act of Congress and good luck getting even the incoming Congress to spend the money it would take to set up a whole new department. 020
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 22/11/2024I rearranged my office. Nina completely ignores the pillow in favor of this spot, which is the closest she can get without being on my desk. #cat #purralegal 050
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 22/11/2024One wall of the #JeffersonMemorial bears an inscription that I like a lot, for a couple reasons: First, it amounts to Thomas Jefferson telling #originalists to grow up and put their big-boy pants on. Second, it's a great object lesson in *why* originalism is both futile and self-defeating. (1/10) 2121
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 20/11/2024Hey, #Gatorade, just an FYI: Bowie is open to sponsorship offers. You know where to find me. 030
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 20/11/2024Amir Ali will be a fair-minded federal judge. He will bring a wealth of experience of protecting and advancing civil rights. Biden judges will act as a backstop for our freedoms and democracy in the trying times ahead. We need Ali on the bench. #ConfirmAli #NoVacanciesNoExcuses 050
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 20/11/2024This email, obtained by #FOX25 in #OklahomaCity, shows how the #HeritageFoundation is encouraging state education officials to include their general counsel on emails purely "to protect against FOIAs, etc." okcfox.com/amp/news/loc... 101
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 19/11/2024It's Tuesday afternoon and I'm sick in bed. Here's a cat. 150

Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 16/11/2024Now that I've explored BlueSky a bit, it's become clear to me that I'm in arrears on my pet picture payments. I'll do my best to rectify this. 000
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 16/11/2024In 1797, less than 10 yrs after the US #Constitution was ratified, the Senate *unanimously* ratified the Treaty of Tripoli, including Article 11, which declares that "the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion[.]" #DemocracyNotTheocracy 185
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 15/11/2024And this is a #funny picture of my #cat, so that as many people as possible will see this. 000
Geoffrey T. Blackwell @gtblackwell.atheists.org · 14/11/2024My paralegal is the opposite of helpful. Then again, she gets paid in freeze-dried minnows so maybe I shouldn't expect much. 020
