Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

An entire apartment building was leveled to kill one guy.
How many civilians died? Is this a war crime?
The religious language—“prayer,” “God bless,” “Godspeed to our Warriors”—makes it all the more revolting, like a game of Battleship from the safety of a church basement.

Have you read The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner?
I read this way back in March 2024 and it has sat with me ever since. Such a beautifully woven story of past and present and a glimpse into the lives of women who are trapped by both their circumstances and society. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Courage breeds creative self‐affirmation; cowardice breeds destructive self-abnegation. Courage faces fear and thereby masters it; cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it. So we must constantly build dykes of courage to ward off the flood of fear." -- Martin Luther King Jr.

I don't know if anyone else struggles with this, but this really cleared it up for me!
✍️🏼 Quick editing tip! ✍️🏼
Titles (like doctor, mom, officer, etc.) are only capitalized when used as names. So, for example, the emperor is Emperor Kuzco. Other examples:
The president is a rapist.
Donald Trump, the president, is a rapist.
That man, President Donald Trump, is a rapist.
