This is a pdf of Henry David Thoreau’s essay on civil disobedience. It’s a legendary work that inspired Ghandi and MLK.

It is not enough to criticize unjust laws, we must actively resist. Don’t be silent. Complaining on socials doesn’t count.

When this is over, what part will you have played?

Let’s talk about Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez.

He is the first US citizen to be confirmed in ICE detention and despite a court order to release him, they won’t. He’s still locked up with no charges and an order to release him.

But ICE doesn’t arrest citizens.

Fuck ICE. Fuck DJT.

Really feel for JJ, when is the last time the guy played more than 3 consecutive games?

Kids… learn to control your emotions. A few seconds could cost him 8 figures. Legendary bag fumble bc he made one bad decision in a moment of passion.

Learn this lesson and teach it to your kids.
The two-game suspension for Steelers WR DK Metcalf could be costly, if upheld. Based on his contract, the suspension would void not just the rest of his salary for this season but $45M in future guarantees — $25M fully guaranteed in 2026 and $20M guarantee for injury in 2027.

So who’s our 3rd string QB?

Billionaires are BAD PEOPLE. Let’s forget how they got there, (but you don’t get that rich without exploitation) and focus on the fact that they could literally choose to make sure no kid had to starve, no one died due to preventable illness, etc. but they don’t. They prefer their pinball score.
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Really a frustrating game. See yall next year.
Josh Jacobs fumble costs the Packers at least 3.

McKinney dropped INT costs them 3.

Doubs fumbled onside costs them 7.

In a tie game going to OT.

Just ridiculous.

If you don’t want people to respond to your comments, don’t make them, turning off comments is a bitch move.

Congrats on the win, we know what happens to teams like with poor point differentials and razor tight win margins in the playoffs. Enjoy it while it lasts.
The Bears have 11 wins. I think they are going to win at least 1 more if not 2. One game doesn't make the season. Every win this year has been an asterisk to most people. That's fine. Just going to keep winning.

Make no mistake - OUR GOVERNMENT IS BREAKING THE LAW TO PROTECT PEDOPHILES.

This is the opposite of family values from the party that claims to be all about that. This is not okay.

Protect kids, not their abusers.

What do you do when the entire government is refusing to follow the law to protect pedophiles?

You can’t make this shit up, announcements like this should come with perp walks.
Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.

This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.

The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.

Release the files. Immediately.

Parson, Watson, Tom.

The 3 most important Packers outside Love, all went down tonight. I can imagine a scenario where we miss the playoffs at this point.
The Packers championship equity may have just gone up in smoke. We're live to react to a loss made MUCH worse by critical injuries to star players.

Watson is a beast, so is Reed. It hurts my soul to think what this team would look like with Tucker out there.
Among WRs with at least 30 targets, here are the players with more Yards Per Route Run than Christian Watson this season.

1. JSN
2. Puka Nacua
3. Drake London
4. CeeDee Lamb
5. ARSB

That's it.

Watson is 6th.

He's 3rd in that group in rating when targeted.

I heard BJ likes beating Matt 2x a year.

Better luck next year big guy.

Unforced error of epic proportions.
