Secession is legal under the Articles of Confederation. Let’s keep our taxes local. To hell with the fed if it is going to blackmail us into loyalty oaths.

Two Sundays ago the first couple of segments of CBS Sunday Morning were about a trump owned company and a trump influencer.

Today is the anniversary of the British evacuating New York City after the end of the Revolutionary War. Here's how I learned about it: the piece that introduced me to the terrific work of @bencarp.bsky.social
Evacuation Day: Marking the End of the Revolutionary War

Boycott Nike
Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

You picked a good one. Ann Savage is the ultimate femme fatale. I have reviewed a few on Letterbox under ‘Lidice42’. Just getting started.

Are the public school faculty in Florida required to study critical race theory, so they know what not to teach?

I started voting in 1978 as well. I voted for a Republican senator, Charles Percy in 78 and a republican congressman, Paul Finley in 1980. They were both old school liberal republicans from Illinois. I detested their opponents. Never voted for any Republican since.
