Truth. I remember we all scoffed about the Civics classes, as well as classes on cooking, budgeting, and learning to report emergencies. Now I know how important they were. The 70s were an interesting time to be in elementary school, but that's another story.

Unfortunately you are right-just like rich Democrats like tax cuts, too. And meanwhile a lot of kids continue to pay for it.

That's a situation I understand all too well, and I suspect more people go through this than not. For me, I've found that Amazon wasn't saving me money in the long run-and I didn't order enough or watch enough to justify Amazon Prime. And I'm lucky to live in a place with a lot of good, affordable alternatives. We can only do what we can-even if for some it's literally helping instead of hurting someone.

It depends. In some cases it's just people walking out to show support. And in some cases people make an effort to support small businesses instead of big ones-and that's a habit that can continue long after the day in question.

Or expressing his own anal glands. LOL!

It's a walk out/don't consume day, like last Friday. Considering it was just put together in the past couple of days it's especially impressive.

I don't really care, do you? 😉

Oh man, I absolutely loved her in Best in Show.

I think we need an updated version of Maus.

Perhaps somebody should start a new thread?

Kind of reminds me of those texts I get from random unknown numbers asking if I'm 'free to play golf' or something. Or the DMs I get from people on social media that later get labeled "account deleted.' Not quite the same, but somehow similar. In both cases it's best to ignore the message.

Interestingly, it turns out that the MN childcare centers that were 'exposed' for not having children in their care.... actually did have children in their care.

Trying to get a letter to state that I'm ready to return to work has proved to be an exercise in futility this time around. So many phone calls, emails, and messages... for almost 2 weeks. I've only talked to an actual human once.

This is true. They want to keep it nice.

Since it's so beautiful, clean, and safe, they're more than welcome to go live there.

Makes me wonder if certain someones have things to hide themselves.

A lot of people forget that a lot of what the activists at the time were doing were illegal, or otherwise things they were told not to do. They had sit ins, disrupted traffic, got in people's faces. The whole world was watching. It still is.

I'm hoping a lot of Emerson students get them and send the $50 to left leaning causes. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if the money was refused to them in the end.

Yup. And this is exactly why the quotas need to go.

Perhaps the big difference is we want people who commit serious felonies to be jailed whether they're migrants or not, and MAGA wants (certain) immigrants to be jailed and deported whether they've committed felonies or not.

Sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me. (don't worry, I know it's satire)

Any 'agent' that kicks open doors without a judicial warrant and/or of anybody who is NOT a person who has committed a felony should have to pay for damages.

Mostly agree. 1 needs to be even more specific and demand a stop to ALL ICE/CBP takeover of cities, including Minneapolis. No ifs, ands or buts. 5 is to me especially important. I really think it needs to be put higher on the list. Incidentally, Homan is referring to Minneapolis as 'theater.' Isn't that a term used for war?

Does this mean Gigli is no longer the biggest flop of the 21st century?

Sadly, we do have our racists and Nazis here. We're barely a generation away from the race riots that happened in response to bussing kids, after all. And remember the picture of the SB guy who threatened a Black man with an American flag? That man is still alive and still living in Massachusetts.
