Lo: The Tyrant decreed the Scepter's Question, and the People proffered the Barricade's Answer.
Just watched the surprisingly delightful, though sometimes rather odd, 2018 Icelandic film "Woman At War." Would definitely recommend to anyone in the mood for a movie about a 49 year-old choir teacher/eco-terrorist who, at one point, hides under a dead sheep carcass.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.
The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.
Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Ainos (modern Enez/Edirne) was a fortified city on the Hebros (Maritsa/Meriç) River near the Aegean coast. Alexios I used it as his headquarters during his wars against the Pechenegs. After the Ottoman conquest of Morea (Peloponnese), Ainos was granted to the deposed despotes Demetrios Palaiologos.

We honor all who rose up in 2004 and 2013–2014 for Ukraine’s right to choose freedom over fear.

The Hittite king must ask the Storm god for a tree to build with, he must secure permission to cut down a living thing that has taken decades to grow strong and long enough to be used for construction.
And he doesn’t just need permission.

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.
Following the recent election, leadership will be changing in many districts where conservative values previously dominated school board meetings and community actions.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.
