Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us.

It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin.

You must understand what is truly at stake here.

All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

DOGE Mistake Took $5201 From Ned Johnson

Sometime last month, Social Security tagged him as dead and took $5201 from his bank.

But Johnson is 82 and very much alive.

Will you be next?

I found a ‘dead’ person on Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

A candidate for Oregon attorney general suggested during this year's campaign that national issues weren't relevant for the Oregon AG. It's turning out to be very much the opposite. open.substack.com/pub/stapilus...

The few
Transgender politics in Idaho is way beyond what it should be.
