Why did they arbitrarily demand "25 yards" be witness-free?
Because their illegal detentions and perjury were proven by cell phone cameras.

In Charlotte NC yesterday bands of masked goons dragged US citizens out of their cars, & came onto private property to try to kidnap workers installing Christmas lights (because, "Yay, Jesus!"). Among the arrests, they snatched two workers repairing a concrete expansion joint in a shopping center.

Good (speculative, but well-reasoned) explanation of the 48 hour stay of the 1st Circuit order that the Administration is required to fund SNAP.

“The Trump Administration has the money to fully fund the SNAP program but is on a mission to withhold that funding so that they can continue to use the hunger of 42 million Americans as a bargaining chip,”

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I recently opened an Instagram account to keep up with this fight for the NC Supreme Court.
The GOP fought to overturn Justice Riggs' election because they wanted a 7-0 GOP Court; the rigged General Assembly would cement that hold by switching to "retention" votes.

Ezra Klein seemingly wants people to concede the point that Obama didn’t deliver something he never promise, a post-racial America, because racist resented his presidency. The suggestion alone is racist.

@netaloid.bsky.social in Costco yesterday I saw a MAGA hat in the wild--a pudgy guy in polo shirt tucked into shorts cinched tight with a leather belt & head on a swivel.
Later I discovered the price of 2.5 pounds of whole bean coffee had jumped nearly $6.
I'm not proud that I went looking for him.
