The Supreme Court declined to review the case of a Colorado family that claims a school district talked to their child about her gender identity without permission. The family already lost their case at the federal district court and U.S. Court of Appeals levels. #copolitics

The Supreme Court upholds decision requiring Alex Jones to pay $1.4 billion for saying Sandy Hook was a hoax.

Good. His slanderous statements caused unnecessary trauma.

Pay up.

Then start advocating for better gun control.

It’s long past time.

The Supreme Court just rejected Alex Jones’ appeal, leaving in place the $1.4B judgment for his lies about Sandy Hook. Let’s remember, he made millions tormenting families who were grieving their murdered children. There’s no price tag big enough for that kind of harm.
