BIG CUP: THE WEEK’S TOP STORIES

Alabama’s Supreme Court declared embryos are children, complete with biblical justifications. Seeing danger ahead, Trump issued orders to reverse course. We know the GOP is listening, but will God do his bidding as well?

Nonbinary teen Nex Benedict died after being beaten in the girls bathroom of an Oklahoma school. The likelihood of charges being brought is zero.

Sammy “the ferret” Alito issued a virulent screed (does he write any other kind?) insisting marriage equality will all but imprison Christians who refuse to submit to the nefarious queer agenda. On the other side of town, Tennessee passed a law allowing anyone involved in ‘solemnizing’ marriages to refuse to do so as a matter of religious objection, aimed solely at the gays no matter what the language says. Clarence “Pay Up” Thomas and Sammy “the rodent” Alito began salivating immediately.
