I have five of the Harry Potter books in front of me, I think the others are on a lower shelf. Do I keep them or donate them?

Consider this a poll:

Keep

OR

Donate

Whatever my sinuses are reacting to, I keep thinking I smell cigarette smoke. It’s ridiculous, no smokers in or around the buildings. Allergy tablet should kick in soon.

Why aren’t all the “constitutional absolutists” shouting about the plain text of the Fourth Amendment and how it’s being violated by ICE et al? (Because they’re going after brown people and Black people, I know, I know…)

Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility.

Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply.

They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.

Three people in frog costumes stand outside the Portland ice facility at night. They’re holding a sign that says frog brigade

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.
