I was pleasantly surprised last week at church to get a thoughtful service and not unity glurge.

Amid BLM protests in Portland, Trump's Department of Homeland Security begins snatching protesters off the street into unmarked vans filled with officers in camo. The Oregon AG sues DHS for violating the civil rights of its citizens but a federal judge throws out the case.

Losing this terminal would be devastating to intercity bus travel across the Midwest, forcing many routes to leave Chicago altogether and having significant negative impact on local CTA bus service.
Immediate action is needed to find a short- and long-term solution.

Anyways, fax/email your Democratic reps and tell them ordinary people are fine with Biden and sick of this shitshow
Normie bf was not thrilled about Biden's age a couple months ago, but has become more pro-Biden due to what he sees as (and what is) a railroading
Fascinated by enormous gulf in opinion on Biden’s position between Democrats I talk to in person and those online.
