Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

So…practitioner knowledge is “intuition” or belief, communicators are “stakeholders,” and surely any reliance on their own knowledge and experience is a “practical indifference” to research.

These guys just showed up outside my window. They hung out and cleanser their feathers one for about 4 hours the other only an hour. Springtime is really magical from dawn to dusk the change is so dramatic. Soon they will be hidden by all the growth when they visit.

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters.

The White House cites an NPR feature that states "banana slugs are hermaphrodites" as a reason to cease public funding of the network.

As I have repeatedly clarified, it’s vital to understand that this is money the Administration owes to contractors for work ALREADY completed. The idea that four Supreme Court justices STILL thought it was ok to break such a fundamental legal contract is deeply worrying.
While the SCOTUS has a 6-3 conservative supermajority, Trump nonetheless suffered a 5-4 loss when the Court ruled that roughly $2 billion in federal funds for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had to be disbursed. www.alternet.org/maga-trump-s...
