Some days, I really need to focus on keeping the bad thoughts I have in my head IN my head. Fewer awkward moments will happen that way.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.
They are lawless bestial scum.

When you're employed in this country the days become a blur of repetition, driving, and prepping for the next day. When you're unemployed, you have the time to watch the world go by, plan MORE for the next day, drive less, and wonder about when you'll get a call or email. IOW, not much changes!!

Hot take: people should not be allowed to live in or near, and thereby damage or pollute, places that are naturally beautiful. This includes forests, wetlands, or any other sensitive space created by nature and not human hands.

When a city has a job and resource fair, I expect or anticipate it to be 50/50. The latest one I went to in Racine was 20% jobs, 80% resources for the least of theirs. In the smallest gym space possible.
