Florida law banning Chinese land ownership gets successfully appealed (www.politico.com)

A federal appeals court blocked a racist Florida law that restricts Chinese citizens from buying land from being enforced against the two people who sued the state. The court did not, however, block the law entirely; it's still in effect for everyone else. One of the judges, Nancy Abudu, agreed that this was a blatant violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the ACLU of Florida intends to continue fighting to prevent this law from being enforced more broadly.

This fight isn't over, but this decision certainly acknowledges the discriminatory nature of this law and is a big win.

You're quite welcome. I'm sure I'll soon see this posted in shit reactionaries say so that all the little tankie bitches can masturbate to it.

Go suck Pootin’s tiny dick.

Lib discovers Lemmygrad and immediately starts using homophobic rhetoric, instance no. 127.

I wonder how interesting would it be to actually have a bot to keep count of typical lib shit. These people think they're so original, I think it'd be cool to automatically keep them a bit grounded.

A bot that would check the lib argument for keywords and post a response to the lib would be great. They only have maybe half a dozen "arguments" and then another half dozen "scratched lib" responses, so being able to just give them either a list of info on the topic or a comeback to their vitriol would great. I'd love to see a lib going full on freakout mode and arguing back and forth with a bot for hours.
