I'm a lawyer trying to retire, but I love my work and keep going back. The Blue Ridge mountains are my magic place.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Historians, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the entire reason states are allowed to maintain a "well-regulated militia" (i.e., a National Guard) under the Second Amendment because of the fear of tyranny of the federal government, which controls a standing federal army?

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

What if they gerrymandered their asses off and they still lost? What if they bullied, arrested, tortured, tormented and separated people from their children and the people were still not afraid of them?

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

This is despicable and should be shocking. Unfortunately, he has done and said worse, so, for him, it is normal - but still despicable.
I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
