There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?
it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.
i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.

This is highly disconcerting. WaPo editors killed an editorial cartoon that mocked Bezos and other tech oligarchs. Will the Post respond to this? Democracy dies with accommodation.

Another reason why I love to shop at Costco
After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."
This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

It isn't "sharing your faith" when you're using legislation to do it. That's "forcing your faith."
Jesus never gave us the right to impose our religious beliefs on anyone.
When it violates human free will and matters of conscience, it isn't about Jesus.
It's about control.

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.
He had help.
It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.
Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.
70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.
There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.
