    Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday establishing a “religious liberty commission” at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and present strategies to eliminate “threats to domestic religious liberty.” During his comments on the order, Trump said that he doesn’t know if there’s a separation of church and state and that we should “forget about that for one time.”

    Words alone simply fail to adequately describe my disgust and rage at this travesty.

      “Religious liberty commission”

      For some reason as a Jewish person I get the strong feeling that this commission wont help me freely practice my religion.

          Also, even though the deluded right wing like to claim that “secularism is a religion”, and same for liberalism or any other ism they are skeered of, they won’t be letting anyone practice those, either.

          Meaning: free thought will be a thoughtcrime.
