FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
State of Connecticut Presents No Defense Against Flannery’s Hostile Work Environment Claim
“Look What Came in the Mail!”
Glastonbury, Conn. | May 2, 2025 – It was a not-so-cold and hardly-dreary afternoon when this reporter discovered a nun-purple envelope in the mailbox of Unit 422 at The Soap Factory: “The Mail – The Mail is Here! Wohoo!”
Resisting the urge to regurgitate any puns about mail ladies and female men which never made it to air on Blue’s Clues, there wasn’t much to say except that State Attorney General William Tong’s defense against Connecticut’s favorite persona non-grata was non-existent.
They have no defense. There’s nothing they can do about the unintended consequences of their own fucking mental health laws. And if you check their Motion to Dismiss, you can see for yourself that they didn’t argue my claims at all. All they can do is say that when I filed the lawsuit against them, I didn’t first pursue an administrative remedy through the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities and receive a release of jurisdiction. The end.
If my favorite persona non-grata would just pick his big ole’ dinosaur head up, unlock his phone, and take a peek at his calendar for once in his life, he might just be delighted to find that he already has an appointment scheduled with the CHRO’s office.
I’m not pissed off about the CHRO, and, yes, that is great that there’s an appointment already. I’m pissed off because they said that the State of Connecticut has sovereign immunity from punitive damages, as if the state could never be responsible for doing something evil. Why doesn’t AG Tong open his fucking history book and take a look at Mao Zedong’s reign in China; a dictator Tong’s own father went to fight against, and then ask if the state can ever perpetuate evil acts. And don’t even fucking get me started on Germany and their treatment of people labelled mentally ill during the Holocaust. State immunity from punitive damages is a crock of shit.
It’s always a blessing having the opportunity to relay to our readers what a gorgeous world we live in. As for Flannery v. State of Connecticut, contrary to the Plaintiff’s unintended statement of the contrary, this is only the beginning.
