Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Section 287A states, “For arrests in public spaces, ICE officers need probable cause to believe that a person is violating immigration laws.”
Failing to present evidence of “probable cause” to a Judge - means ALL of their actions violate this provision.

ICE detained four U.S. citizens in Oregon this week, including a high schooler on his lunch break.
“All of us should be concerned about ICE operating outside of the laws of our country, disappearing even U.S. citizens without concern or fear of consequences,” said Jess Montoya at Oregon for All.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

EV drivers to be bombarded with in-car adverts
Advertisers once had to rely on catchy radio jingles or splashy billboards to grab the attention of drivers for a few seconds while they were on the road.

berman keeps using that dumb line that the reason an 8 seed is facing a 2 seed in the championship is the salary cap, and it is driving me crazy. i would argue that a far more accurate reason is because the league sucks at protecting players like banda and chawinga on and off the pitch.
