This is a pdf of Henry David Thoreau’s essay on civil disobedience. It’s a legendary work that inspired Ghandi and MLK.
It is not enough to criticize unjust laws, we must actively resist. Don’t be silent. Complaining on socials doesn’t count.

So often in today’s society you’re ignoring the person and their faults because you enjoy their art. I don’t know his music at all but it’s impossible not to root for this guy.

We still have at least one news org willing to stand up and do their jobs. This is what journalists are supposed to do and it’s why they’re such an important part in a sustained democracy.

He went from assistant QB coach to play calling OC in 2 years with the Packers. If he gets them heading in the right direction and gets Hurts playing like Love, he’ll be in line for a HC spot.
This is why we will continue to attract top tier talent. GB gets coaches PROMOTED. Right, Jeff?

Anyone else thinking about bailing?
Anything I should be thinking about?
Anyone else already out?
Where should I go?
Want to try to talk me out of it? Please, do your worst.
Just starting to think on this and looking for conversation. 🙏

I love my team (go pack go), but the NFL is a grift.
They price out the real fans in favor of wealthy socialites who want to post to their socials and brag to their friends. It’d be cheaper to take the family for a week in Europe than a 3 hour game.
The NFL is a grift, they get 0 of my $.

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center.
No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention.
What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

Proof that personal feelings and recency bias trumps reality. I’d struggle to think of anyone already in the HoF with a resume better than Bill’s. He ruffles feathers, probably unpleasant to be around, that shouldn’t matter.

Trump has been the worst 2A president, Dem or Rep in decades. He won partially because gun rights people voted for him.
Where are they right now? Carrying a gun legally does not make you a criminal, it certainly does not mean you should be executed on the street.
