#SCOTUS this week:

The debate over #Religious #freedom & #ParentalRights is back at the #SupremeCourt.

Justices will consider whether #PublicSchools can stop parents removing students from lessons using #LGBTQ+ themed #books. The issue has divided a #Maryland community.

Justices will weigh the future of #free #PreventiveCare today.

And #police officers who joined the rally before the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection asked justices for anonymity.

"Attorneys suing the United States government over its use of vanishing Signal messages to coordinate military strikes last month in Yemen allege that new court filings by the government reveal a “calculated strategy” by Trump administration officials to evade transparency laws through the illegal destruction of government records.

US defense and intelligence agencies on Monday submitted supplemental declarations in court outlining their individual efforts to preserve the messages at the center of the “SignalGate” scandal. American Oversight, a watchdog organization whose attorneys are suing the government, claim the declarations reveal “troubling inconsistencies” in efforts by US officials to archive the material, with the Central Intelligence Agency in particular alleging that it had archived no messages of any substance.

“Using encrypted, disappearing messages on Signal for official government business violates the Federal Records Act and represents a calculated strategy to undermine transparency and accountability,” claims the group’s interim executive director, Chioma Chukwu."

"Approximately 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy were released Friday... The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration posted roughly 229 files containing the pages to its public website. Many files related to the senator’s assassination had been previously released, but others had not been digitized and sat for decades in storage facilities maintained by the federal government."

We've only been at apply.coop for 3 months or so. Sure we could have YOLOed some CRUD app into the wild based on some framework, but we wanted to take a different approach to our tech stack. We've made lots of progress and are happy with our choices.

Still priding ourselves of no JS and a single binary with all static assets embedded.
