Regulations stop rich people, powerful corporations, and crooks from cheating you, poisoning you, and harming you. Deregulation is always bad for you and empowers others to harm you.

My dad, who was a union organizer and president of a local union in the northern tier of the state for a number of years says it is packed full of "nice Nazis" and that's been my experience of the place when I'm there to visit.

This spring I saw this when it was bright, clear, and new. The next day someone had tried to rub it out. But it’s still here. Inadvertently symbolic. #palestine #freepalestine #photography #nolasky #flashesapp

Takeaways from the Supreme Court arguments on the Voting Rights Act and race-based redistricting | CNN Politics

The Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority appeared open to weakening the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 in a way that could limit minority representation in Congress.

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

He always fought for the less powerful person in any situation and both of my 40s-50s something sisters say that he was the reason they believed that it wasn't just okay for a man to talk the progressive/feminist talk if he couldn't also walk the walk.

After reading Browning's "Ordinary Men" in grad school in the 90s, I've never believed there was any place it couldn't happen.

DS9 S6E24 "Time's Orphan". In many ways one of the most baffling, bizarre, plot hole filled episodes of the entire series and yet it is really beautiful and heartbreaking in places. 3rd of 94 credits for prolific actress Michelle Krusiec who was exceptional in it.

I'm happy she won. I think she'll be much better at the job than either of her high profile rivals, but yes, I definitely have some anxieties about how she'll do the job and whether she can or will try to do what she promised.

The giant jenga for the school auction better go for a bunch. PK4 will be painting some/most of the blocks, maybe the box. Thinking of upholstering a lid as a seat.

Box for giant Jenga. 3/4 ply, pocket screws, handles on the ends, recess for accessing blocks.

That was the part that sent me back south. All of my previous northern winters had been spent in the western end of a time zone, so it wasn't quite so bad and also I hadn't been quite that far north.
