The WNBA, largely due to the NBA owning so much of it, is running the CBA negotiations like sheriff Bart in Blazing Saddles holding a gun to his own head.
Except that was a comedy, and this is just sad.

Going from -22 to -9 is they don't realize the powerful message they just sent. There are THOUSANDS of voters in TN who probably stayed home bc they thought it was impossible.
Now they're at home thinking, "Wow, I'm going to vote in the next election because we can win."

The UCP say they support people with disabilities in Alberta, but that is a complete lie. No one wants the changes to AISH or the clawback to the disability tax credit. Jason Nixon and Danielle Smith need to go and get lost. #yeg #yyc #yql #ableg #abpoli

How in the hell do you claim that 83 people are enemy combatants when there is no formal congressional declaration of war? No weapons or ordinance were used against the forces present. No heave to announcement. No warning shots were fired. Just kill them all. This is what the U.S. has become

Real wages (after inflation) were growing at 2.0% last year. Now it’s 0.8% — “clearly playing into what the majority of American households would define as an affordability crisis.”

A history prof I read here said that war is politics conducted in another way, and an extension of policy. He's quoting Clausewitz and he's not wrong; it's embedded in the US military.
But I think he, Clausewitz and the Us are all wrong. War is the expression of fear, greed and the lust for power

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.
