No particular order.
A quick reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime.
If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.
Ginni Thomas was involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election using the independent state legislature theory—central to a SCOTUS case that could let extremist state legislatures pick the president.
Clarence Thomas heard the case today and—you guessed it—endorsed the theory.
I'm sorry, but I still can't find an answer.
Can someone tell me why we keep asking the workers if a few sick days are worth shutting down the economy?
Shouldn't we instead be asking the railroad companies why they are threatening to destroy this country in order to deprive their workers of a few measley sick days?
And rail workers are only asking for FOUR DAYS of paid sick leave

Guaranteeing 7 paid sick days to rail workers would cost the rail industry a grand total of $321 million a year – less than 2% of its profits. Please don't tell me the rail industry can't afford it. Rail companies spent $25.5 billion on stock buybacks and dividends this year.

Railroad workers across the country are threatening to go on strike on December 9, delivering a potentially crippling blow to the American economy. According to the Association of American Railroads, a nationwide rail shutdown could cost more than $2 billion per day. There are 140,000 miles of rail in the United States, which are operated by about 115,000 rail workers. This network serves "nearly every agricultural, industrial, wholesale, retail and resource-based sector of our economy." Passenger rail would also stop, disrupting hundreds of thousands of commuters.
My painting process for bird illustrations, as shown for this fluffy bee eater:
1. Rough sketch that's transferred onto nice paper
2. Painting blue birb eye make-up first ;)
3. Building layers for all the colors.
4. Adding texture with colored pencils.
European bee eaters are one of the most colorful birds on the continent with their dashing turquoise and yellow stripes and their red eyes. It's a joy to paint them!
