The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Spare a thought today for Joseph “Jody” Smith, an Alabama man who courts have repeatedly determined is intellectually disabled but who our attorney general is petitioning SCOTUS for permission to execute anyway. His case is being argued today.

The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS!

National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed as local police indefinitely as part of someone else's political stunt.
They're not set up to be local police, they never should have been deployed.
