I think a lot of people don't realize how much strength it takes to pull yourself out of a dark mental place. If you've done that today, or any day, I'm proud of you and you should be proud of yourself.

Indiana Republican state senator. I appreciate her not caving, but they are all still afraid to ever use Trump’s name. I guess doing so exponentially increases the threats. Trump rules the GOP with fear and intimidation. What a broken party.

Black Friday $ sales are higher this year because things are more expensive. So consumers aren’t buying more items, they’re just paying more them.

In 1974, Gary Tyler was a Black student bussed into a newly desegregated Louisiana high school. When a white mob attacked his bus and a white student was killed, Gary was wrongfully sentenced to death by an all white jury.
Gary Tyler Spent 42 Years in Prison for a Crime He Didn't Commit. Racism Put Him There. | ACLU
Tyler’s case shows how bias, fear, and discrimination drive wrongful convictions — and why confronting racial injustice in the legal system remains urgent today.

Of course. The consumer should always be the last to know.
Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

We can’t forget that Trump once called members of our military "suckers" & "losers.” So, let’s be honest: he’s attempting to use our military as his personal political pawns and believes they owe loyalty to him and not to our Constitution and our country.

MAGA might still be on the Trump train, but Republicans in Congress see the writing on the wall. They know he’s weak, and that weakness gives them cover to finally distance themselves.
