The Satanic Temple, an activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts, is threatening to sue Twitter for religious discrimination after one of its co-founders had his Twitter account permanently suspended.

Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder and spokesman, said his Twitter account was permanently suspended without any notice after he asked his followers to report a tweet that called for the Satanic Temple to be burned down.

"We're talking to lawyers today," Greaves said Friday about whether he planned to take legal action.

    Is there any hope the DNC will start appealing to real progressive values, or will they be running Oprah in 3 years? (Doesn't need to be Oprah specifically; pick any woman celebrity who's a household name.)

    Running Oprah is a good way to irrevocably shatter the country. Real progressive values, as opposed to fake SJW horseshit, is the only thing that can save us from this simultaneous assault from two camps of right-wing authoritarians (Murkins and SJWs). The lesson the DNC needs to learn from 2016 is that the people want a progressive like Sanders, not whichever lizard person whose turn it is.

    I'm expecting to see firsthand what an irrevocable shattering looks like, though I eternally hold out hope that past results don't guarantee future.

    If Oprah becomes president, she'll appoint Dr. Oz as surgeon general, and he'll be pushing all kinds of quackery bullshit. Public health in the US will be a disaster; even Trump is better.

    The Democratic Party really epitomizes the wise saying from Lord Dark Helmet: "Evil will always triumph because good is dumb."
