Hi Bluesky. I’m a lawyer at a mid-sized firm who will never have clout because I refuse to conform to the norms of any in-groups except Braves and Auburn fans. I am an enemy of authoritarians wherever they are and however they lean.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed
Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?
