If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

“As travel destinations go, it really doesn’t get much safer than Canada. Violent crime is comparatively low and there is a low incidence of gun-related crime.”

The 8 hour workday. We take it for granted now. In May 1886, union workers for Mccormick Reaper Works in Chicago struck for it, and lives were lost.
Unions brought us a middle class and a vibrant democracy.
MayDay commemorates that.

Again, I am ASTOUNDED that SO MANY people don’t understand that if Walmart or Target can’t stock their shelves, NO STORE will be able to. It doesn’t matter if you are boycotting them.
