Just so you know, the lobbyists advocating for no tax on tips, insidiously are advocating for lower wages (lower than minimum wage). The lobbyists aren’t servers or bar tenders, they are their employers.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

I remember, when I ran for a local non-partisan position in 2019, getting coffee with one of my opponents (who ended up winning) and being told point-blank by him: “I’m older than you, so I know more than you do.”

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

Above all, I care about propriety. We can't lose what makes us essentially human. So while some of you might be saying "lol eat shit Elon you spent $25 million and lost lol," I am instead choosing to remain above the fray and will say only: "Eat shit Elon."

I urge everyone to watch Jesse Jackson's "David and Goliath" speech in 1984 in Philly. (I'll link in reply) Where he likens unregistered and neglected voters to "rocks, just laying around" and how we need only pick them up to defeat Goliath. Rocks, being picked up:

Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Something is stolen from your place; you have it on tape, and the guy’s credit card information and name. You find him and positively ID him with your staff and the tape, through his professional website (a local real estate office).

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.
