I’d rather be on Beaver Island (with my wife, of course). Cubs fan since 1968. Peace, social justice, and genealogy.

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

Washington state has a great mail-in/drop-off voting system. I can track my ballot to make sure it's been received and counted

Trump said China showed 'power of strength' in Tiananmen Square massacre, in newly resurfaced 1990 interview ‘It was a horrible thing. It doesn't mean at all I was endorsing it'

It would be wise for us to remember that Trump praised China for the Tiananmen Square massacre.

A US citizen driving to work at a Food Bank, shot by ICE. After he was treated at the hospital they still took him.

Is this a hardened criminal taken? The worse of the worse? Illegal? No this is racism. This is Nazism.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.

Is Fox News even covering this? Do people in Arkansas know he tore down half the fucking White House for no reason without permission.

Look at this guy!
To look at him you'd think this was Fallajuh and he was worried about IEDs and coming under enemy fire,
However this was suburbia and he was probably kidnapping someone from Home Depot.

ICE is as comically ridiculous as it is morally and ethically obscene.

I keep saying it. Analytics are for the long run on the regular season where things average out. Any manager who sticks with them for the playoffs is playing with randomness.
