I think the plan is to send all the people detained/kidnapped by ICE to our new colony of Venezuela and imprison down there or enslave them to pump more oil for dear leader.

I have no following here and nobody will see this, but I'm kinda perturbed by the hosts and guests on The Weeknight on MSNBC talking about "ordered liberty" as a new term coined by the far right when it has been around since the Constitution, particularly in Madison's Federalist 51 "men and angels"

I am an American. I come from a rural area. My people are tillers of the soil and union laborers. My wife has the same types of folks in her family tree and comes from the city. We work hard and help people who need it as much as we can. We try to find the good in all our neighbors.

Hey everyone. Andrew Bailey is bad news. Look up everything he has done as Missouri AG. An FBI with him in a decision-making role will go after opponents of the regime even worse than it is now.

Heard this on a blues show on my way to the store today. I spent some Franklins, got a bag of two less than I used to, and thought about a brand new deal.

My folks got their 130 year old barn shored up recently and these 8"x8" white oak beams in the basement are from an Amish saw mill. They will hold up two stories and straw in the loft for as long as necessary.

NWS will probably confirm a decent sized tornado ripped through the densely populated central West end of St. Louis. 4 confirmed fatalities. More than 100,000 have power outages. There will be lots of damage and a long time to recover.

I told Peanut he can have one Mr. Bird toy but not 30. He's disappointed but understands that sacrifice is necessary in these times.

I think we need a few new amendments if not a new constitutional convention if we make it out of this era. I tend to think that constitutions should be vague enough to give leeway to elected officials and jurists to forge a general path for a country, but Trump et al have made me shift my thinking.

Musk and the DOGE want to use NLRB data to intimidate workers, whistleblowers, unions and anyone who may want to hold them accountable for their disgusting union-busting.

Let's be clear: the labor movement will not back down.
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.

The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

Also, if you think Trump dismantling cabinet departments and Elon and Doge chainsawing their way through the government is a good thing, then you should oppose the proposed nationalization of USPS. It would add 640,000 people to the federal payroll, making the government have more employees than

Privatization of the USPS would be disastrous, especially for rural America. The universal, 6 day service would probably disappear due to it not being profitable. There would be no guarantee that we as rural carriers would retain a union and most likely, we would be contractors. But I am far more

Rural postal workers don’t just deliver mail.

They put out fires, help elderly people who’ve fallen, and ensure veterans receive medication during storms.
