good person who puts family first, friends second, and jokingly safety third. I’ve also brewed a few beers and like classic styles.
Watching the watchers. It would probably be a good idea to have watchers watching ICE too. Not sure that is fiscally possible though.

Some incredibly good news:
One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.
In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.
In short, it’s working.
So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations.
Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes.
Protect mail-in voting at all cost.

If you used to be a fan and just developed a problem with #BruceSpringsteen you have never even vaguely listened to his music. What did you think “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions” was all about? Just wow!
