Now, the community loses a local business and a happy family.

βMost of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, & then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.β

The Portland Pickles selected a random fan to take an at bat on fan appreciation night.
He hit a 2 run homer.
I don't say this lightly: The New York Times should fire the reporter and editor who chose to present a leak from the white house as if it was a leak from Harvard.
Don't print lies in the newspaper
I just need one member of the media to ask Trump how much a $500 drug would cost after a 1500% discount.

They simply do.
We wring our hands, talk about it, shake our fists.
And itβs always like that.
Always.
Dems need to move with FEROCITY and ALACRITY, and we never ever ever ever ever DO!
a black and tan wire-haired dachshund sits on a blue sofa and looks up above the camera. his beard is an asymmetrical swoosh of coarse blond hair, and his eyebrows spring up like two more little accent sprouts. the tufts atop his feet are extra grinchy and magnificent.
This is Beni. He was born with such an impressive beard that his face is now redirecting all good whiskers to his eyebrows. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: beni_the_dachshund_in_paris)
