I'm getting better at this homemade bread thing. This is from fresh-milled flour (67% hard white, 33% hard red). The taste is on a level you wouldn't understand if you've never had fresh milled. By "fresh milled," I mean I milled it immediately before mixing it.

The UCP are exhausting
I'm tired of the anti-science sh*t

Good. Now let’s make sure the order is actually enforced, and that Garcia has every opportunity to hold this administration accountable in court.

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?
Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."
Anything that punctures that myth helps. +

Teachers, professors, public servants, journalists, organizers, and targeted communities often pay the price for resisting populists.
Check in. Show up at their events. Defend them when they’re smeared. Abandoned critics make the “majority” myth look stronger.+

3) An "unelected judge" may not be synonymous with democracy, but it sure is a necessary component of liberal democracy as we know it.
The premier is describing an illiberal form of democracy akin to mob rule.
Overall, she gets a failing grade.
