Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout.
And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas.
Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

Russian communities are facing a surge in crimes from both returning veterans and criminals using the war to get out of jail. But in Vladimir Putin’s new Russia, soldiers are the new heroes, and tough wartime censorship laws leave little room to criticize them.

A wise creature once said, "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering."
These days, when fear is all too common, today is a great moment to remember the strength in courage, unity... and hope.
May the 4th be with you. Always.

The Trump administration’s months-long hunt to root out the resistance is ramping up. Investigations are intensifying, with polygraph tests being used to create a climate of fear and intimidation.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
