I like to do the weekly meal plan before the grocery run, which stresses the person I live with out in ways I cannot understand. Try to respect, but absolutely do not understand.

We never should have allowed felon disenfranchisement. It was a slippery slope to denaturalization.

Good And Cheap: Eat Well On $4/Day : Leanne Brown : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures. In a perfect world, healthy and delicious food would be all around us. It would be easy to choose and easy to...

Just remembered an old resource I used to use share with people on public assistance for how to eat better on a tight budget and without access to a full kitchen. "Good and Cheap" by Leanne Brown. She has a website too, not sure what it's up to though.

Real easy and no cooking required is to spread some cream cheese on a flour tortilla (use a spoon so it doesn't tear up), then some deli coldcuts and lettuce or spinach. Wrap it up tight, cut it into pinwheels and let it rest in the fridge for a bit. It's a quick pick-me-up you can nosh on anytime.

But billionaires are killing everything good in journalism. They are not our saviors and never were. Read and support independent and local news outlets. Local news these days IS national news - look at Minnesota and Texas. We have to support these outlets.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

i decided they needed a statblock

Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

If I was the new Carnegie, I'd endow public libraries with a local journalism budget.

I think AOC is the highest profile elected official with the capacity for appropriate rhetoric and the composure under fire to meet that criterion. This may be her best moment to run, even if her impact is just to raise other contenders' game.

"The system sucks," or what a federal lawyer's comments really tell us about the Trump admin Julie Le's comments are shocking, but they are a problem of the Trump admin’s own making. And it goes way beyond one lawyer new to the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office.

The New York Times not linking to anyone who’s been reporting this — and then pushing it — is quite annoying!

Also, my story is much more detailed and actually explains things going on, in addition to linking to three other reports from other outlets. www.lawdork.com/p/the-system...

This is just a guess, but maybe the rise in dramatic prose from district court judges is partly due to a growing belief among those judges that it's pointless to try to persuade SCOTUS and they must therefore focus on other potential audiences.

I'm a Democrat. I want it abolished and I want the masked vigilantes working for it to face justice for their crimes.

They say the Paladin of Paperwork personally enforces the integrity of academic citations. Sleep lightly plagiarist!

His mighty blade, Deregulator, slices through opponents and red tape with equal ease.

I'm not sure what the context of this one is (though I have my guesses). But like... going to left-aligned protests to get punched in the face by people upset over being nonconsensually filmed was Andy Ngo's whole schtick. If I found myself doing his schtick, I'd reconsider my life choices.

Why does it matter? Because things like the California Rancheria Termination Acts derecognized dozens of tribal groups, stripping them of land and federal services and sovereignty...including the Wappo. They are still trying to regain recognition. We shouldn't erase them from history.

There no logic, people like Helen just have careers backfilling justifications for xenophobia. Immigrant groups that underperform US-born are lazy morons who don’t deserve to be here, those who over perform are ruthless strivers destroying valuable White Ways of Knowing & Doing. There’s no winning

Disarm disband defund abolish and prosecute ICE

All bodycams are going to do is facilitate a surge in prosecutions for “assaulting agents” and improve data collection about protesters so good work everyone who pushed for that big reform.

What it's like to see ICE tear gas kids Attendees at a Portland, OR protest describe a vicious, unprovoked and sudden attack

Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died."

But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalation—and a terrifying harbinger of things to come.

With a lower court stay in place it is now literally up to our boy Bret and his shadow docket buddies if ICE will do a pogrom in Springfield Ohio this week
