here is my official petition to rename W to "dub". tired of "double u."
- only multi-syllabic letter in the english alphabet.
- makes acronyms and initials a nightmare.
- written as double V's half the time so the name isn't even consistent.

So, if I'm reading this right:
4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,
and
6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency.
Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.

Don’t tell me you believe in Christ and that you don’t think hungry people should get food. Don’t tell me Providence put you in power and your job is to take food from the mouths of the hungry. From children who don’t get enough to eat. Because poor people steal and they don’t deserve help. Don’t.

"without witness, without reward" is a really good principle to follow.
whether it's action, kindness, providing aid, or charity, you can do a lot of good in this world without seeking the validation that comes from the number on your post going up.

A lot of people on social media who insist you advertise every act of resistance you do aren't about actually resisting. They're about being SEEN resisting. And those are two very different things.

When republican legislators in Utah ordered a comprehensive review of gender-affirming care for trans kids, they got back a 1000-word tome that concluded: yes, gender-affirming care is good and safe. Then? They banned care anyway.
