Simply because you're out of the way, and they can.

Gas prices went up fast in SE Idaho which is weird. They draw from SLC refineries.

Bangers and mash. It would have been satisfactory in any pub along the moors.

My brother treated me to a ribeye he cooked to perfection. D2 and my other brother recently gifted me fresh lemons from CA which I transformed into the best lemon bars ever. Now I'm trying to talk steak brother into watching Nebraska with me. iykyk

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This isn’t a deferral, it’s a ransom note. The Trump Administration is using kids as pawns in their campaign of retribution against our state.

The VP at my child's high school called me and was all excited to tell me that after a random sniff search, a dog had alerted on her back pack in her locker. My reaction surprised him when I asked wtf they were doing in her locker? He thought he was doing me a favor.

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

The world is drowning in plastic.

Experts say we need to stop making so much.

But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic.

Don't be fooled.

The History We Hide: Trump’s War on Memory MAGA wants to make us forget about our eliminationist pastβ€”so they can repeat it.

There really wasn't much of substance to engage with in Trump's SOTU, but the childish, 1950s-vintage vision of US History it ended with is notable for its ultra-nationalist and eliminationist logic. David Neiwert gets at it here. open.substack.com/pub/davidnei...

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger to give Democratic response to Trump's State of the Union address Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger will deliver the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.

Posted only to demonstrate who is steering the party. Spanberger is a great choice for this speech because of her solid win in VA, but she's a blue dog.
