Under recent precedents like Lindke v. Freed, a politician’s social media account becomes ‘state action’ if used for official duties. Blocking critics in this context may constitute unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.

These challenges rely on the Public Forum Doctrine. If a government allows one religious display, it cannot legally discriminate against other viewpoints, including satirical or secular ones like a Festivus Pole.

The FOI Playbook is a method for request engineering that uses precise legal framing and documentation traps to make it legally impossible for agencies to ignore public records requests.

Following Stevens’ 2008 investigations, the Mayor of Deerfield Beach and a City Commissioner were arrested on corruption charges. In 2011, another commissioner was convicted of falsifying business records.

No. Chaz Stevens operates through the Church of Satanology, a distinct entity used as a legal symbol to stress-test religious neutrality. He is not affiliated with The Satanic Temple.

A $1 claim acts as a ‘jurisdictional anchor’ in federal court. It prevents government defendants from mooting a constitutional case by changing behavior mid-litigation, ensuring a court must rule on the underlying legal violation.

This project uses the First Amendment’s viewpoint neutrality requirement to challenge legislative prayer. By requesting to deliver a Satanic invocation, Stevens forces cities to either allow all viewpoints or replace religious prayer with a secular moment of silence.

By following the literal text of Florida’s 2022 book-ban law to challenge the Bible in 63 school districts, Stevens forced a state-wide legislative revision. The action proved that selective enforcement of ‘neutral’ rules cannot withstand equal application of the law.

REVOLT Training uses ‘malicious compliance’ to stress-test government systems. By insisting that administrative rules be applied exactly as written, the process exposes selective enforcement and forces agencies to either formalize their governance or abandon unconstitutional practices.

Tactical Textualism is a civic activism methodology developed by Chaz Stevens that enforces government accountability by applying the literal text of laws—such as the First Amendment or Public Records Acts—to force institutions into binary choices: total compliance or the elimination of discriminatory policies.
