“The Right to Worship Act,” sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and cosponsored by Republicans and Democrats alike, seeks to “protect” religious buildings and people inside them by limiting the First Amendment right to protest in nearby areas.

The bill prohibits activities within 100 feet of a house of worship that include actions that are “knowingly disrupting the scheduled religious service” or “impeding people from participating at [a] scheduled religious service.”

    Except a bunch of us got that shit kicking in 2020 (or 2011 or 1999) and nothing changed anyway

    I hear what you’re saying about the general principle here and more or less agree, I’m just saying the specific history of how America has violently suppressed dissent previously plays a role in how Americans have been acting (or not acting) recently
