National Guard have the obligation and responsibility to ignore illegal orders - which these clearly are and they are clearly obeying.

Turns out it was pretty stupid of me to go to “law school” and pass the “bar” and practice “law”

I've been without taste & smell for over 3 years since I got COVID the first time. Not a chef, just a person. If COVID had made people blind & deaf, I bet they'd have come up with a cure for it pretty quickly.

Study suggests most Americans would be healthier with 'permanent standard time' Every spring, Americans dutifully adjust their clocks forward to daylight saving time, and every fall, back to standard time—but no one seems very happy about it. The biannual time shift is not only i...

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.

We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

It makes me sad that our Ward 12 choices are a god-botherer, a certified crazy person, and someone who currently has the job but does absolutely nothing at all.

Got to visit my DiL's bench at the fair today. She doesn't have a grave, so we all trek to one of her favorite places every year. I miss her. It never gets better, it only gets different. 💔

Friction builds between Walz, public sector unions on multiple fronts Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has been an unflinching ally to public employee unions through most of his political tenure. These days, their alliance is a little rocky to say the least.

No, he threw the state employee unions under the bus. He can't be convinced otherwise. My litmus test is how do you treat the workers and those with less power than you? Walz fails.

perhaps not, but Walz throws union labor under the bus all day long. let's not anoint him again.

Three-quarters of Americans support bike lanes in their area and nearly half say they increase quality of life | YouGov Americans are more likely to say bike lanes increase than decrease overall quality of life as well as safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.

Maybe this sounds familiar:

Bike infrastructure get proposed as part of a street redesign. A small group of confused but VERY vocal individuals begin making a lot of noise about how no one wants this, no one will use this, it will literally cause the sky to fall.
