Before local parishes had graveyards, some English villages used corpse roads to carry the dead from remote settlements to churches with burial rights. Processions crossed fields and moorland, pausing at coffin stones that still mark the way. ๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธโ€ฏ(1/2)

Thursdayโ€™s protest will focus on the government shutdown and what itโ€™s really about: refusing to extend the ACA tax credits that keep healthcare premiums low for everyday working people. Join us!

All MICA actions are peaceful and non-violent.

The people of the 8 prior worlds are goneโ€”scattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain. Some call them magic, others technology, but the wise know these are our legacy. They are our future. They are... the numenera.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff Iโ€™ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! ๐Ÿคฏ

I think we should do Trump-is-dead speculation every time we get a clean chance, itโ€™s clearly great for team morale.
