Maybe. I gave up after 5 min when I realized the whole premise was about a guy pretending to be a lawyer despite never taking the bar or even graduating law school.

I'm confused by the pile-on. Having read the book, I think it's pretty clear that his intended audience is to make history accessible to lay RDR2 fans who have never studied history or read a book. Yeah, it will never be assigned reading in a college course, but I don't think that is his goal.

Flight Manifests Reveal Dozens of Previously Unknown People on Three Deportation Flights to El Salvador Hacked data obtained by 404 Media reveals dozens more people on deportation flights to El Salvador who are unaccounted for. β€œWe have not heard from these people’s families, so I think perhaps even they don’t know," one lawyer said.

"flight manifests for 3 legally contested deportation flights from Texas to El Salvador contain dozens of additional, unaccounted for passengers than a previously published Department of Homeland Security (DHS) list of people deported from the United States on those flights, 404 Media has learned."

Post from Homeland Security with the caption β€œRemember your Homeland’s Heritage” over a painting of a white man and woman holding a baby in the back of a covered wagon, with another covered wagon in the background. The painting is β€œNew Life in a New Land” by Morgan Weistling.

This reminds me of my LDS (Mormon) pioneer heritage. Except my ancestors fled to Utah to escape the US after their leader was murdered, and where the federal govnt spent the next 50 years persecuting them until they abandoned their religious practices. So what heritage are they referring to?

Superman: A Classic Message Restored | DC In a recently much circulated image of a 1950’s-era color poster, Superman can be seen speaking to school children about the importance of respecting diversity.

Wait until they find out that Superman’s been woke since the 1950’s.

At least 6 dead as officials rush to save lives following floods in Texas' Guadalupe River: Updates Authorities said people have died in flooding in Kerr County, Texas, and officials have performed "dozens" of water rescues. Latest updates.

Just awful, awful news. Kerrville was the first area I served in on my LDS mission to TX. Such an amazing area full of amazing people. I pray they find those that are missing and everyone else remains safe.

Opinion | The fight for birthright citizenship started with these Black Americans We have endured years, decades, even centuries of confusion about citizenship.

Great piece by @marthasjones.bsky.social. It highlights why the recent SCOTUS decision is so problematic while also underscoring why originalism is such a terrible legal theory in both its reasoning and application.

A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.

A law student at the University of Florida writes a paper for a class discussing originalism, arguing that β€œWe the People” in the Constitution’s preamble only refers to white people, among other things. His paper earned him an award.

Opinion: A time for mourning and resolve in Utah, not insensitive tweets from a Utah senator Mike Lee's social media posts only add to the pain of a weekend marred by political violence

Utah deserves better than Mike Lee. His comments concerning the horrific shootings in MN were disgusting and unbecoming for both a senator and, most importantly, a Latter-day Saint.

Just wrapped up attending my first Mormon History Association Conference. The presentations were fantastic and all the scholars and historians I met were incredibly friendly and encouraging. Left with a renewed excitement to further engage with the field of Mormon history.

As someone who practices Social Security Disability law, having to get past the AI chatbot to speak to a local agent every time I call one of the SSA field offices has been absolutely insufferable.

OPM β€˜merit’ hiring plan includes bipartisan reforms, politicized new test The federal government’s HR agency on Thursday instructed agencies to cease collecting data on the demographic makeup of their workforces.

OPM, the federal government’s HR agency, sent out a memo setting forth a new β€œmerit based” hiring policy. Yet the policy’s true aim seems to be to pack the federal workforce with white Christian Nationalists. The memo is linked in the article.

Is that a Manx, by chance? I once had a Manx cat that looked exactly like yours and would sit in the weirdest positions.

A picture of Trump as the Pope that President Trump shared from his Truth Social account.

JFK had to assure Protestants that the Pope wouldn’t influence him if he was president, and Trump is here saying β€œwhy can’t I be both?” But I can’t tell if he is trolling liberals or Christian nationalists who are seeing this and thinking, β€œNo, not like that!”
