Send some blessings to Hawaii today!
Yet again, a Hawaiian federal judge has blocked the current Republican Administration's attempts at establishing racist travel bans. ♥️♥️♥️

Acquired as a military foothold in the pacific, monetized as the US sponsored vacation destination, and now maturing as the judicial front line in the fight against legislative racism. Who could have guessed? :D

@vahnj I somehow thought that was correct but according to the internet, they didn't legalize it until 2013?
First search turns up Massachusetts of all states as the first state to legalize it (in 2003/2004). o.=.o

@vahnj @mawr They were the state to spawn Baehr v Miike, originally Baehr v Lewin, which kicked off the modern rush to SSM. The state supreme court made the state government identify a compelling interest instead of letting tradition stand, and the state Republican Party rushed an amendment to the constitution through to block the suit. There was an earlier case in Montana, though, from the seventies.
