Highlights:
- The state of Arkansas is still trying to get to the bottom of how TST actually works as an organization,
which is a product of TST elbowing its way into a suit already well in
hand by the ACLU, and proceeding to draw it out so much longer than
needed that one of the plaintiffs has since died. - TST cannot and will not save abortion rights for anyone, and can't even do it for themselves. There are reasons why abortion funds and clinic workers around the country have openly denounced TST as ineffective peddlers of misinformation in the best case.
- Greaves admits that he just dips into the general fund to pay his
personal expenses, without any real structure in place for TST to
formally pay him and without any kind of oversight at all. There is no
board of directors or any kind of auditing process - there's just him,
and he can't actually say directly that he knows how hundreds of grand
are handled between a religious nonprofit and a for-profit corporation
that have spent years pretending to be the same organization and calling
themselves the same name - They don't deserve the donations that just disappear into a black hole to be weaponized against dissenters
- See also many women who have spoken out about problems among TST's
leadership, although from top people this has slowed down in recent
years, likely due to TST threatening people with legal action for violating Non-Disparage Agreements they forced top people to sign - And most disturbingly, in 2013, before TST was ever anything more than a
couple of racist edgelords spitballing in an email chain, the original
intent was always to sell
merchandise based on the idea that there were religious exemptions
unique to TST members - but there was no plan to actually make sure
those exemptions actually existed first. Because they didn't, and they
still don't.
