Dammit- I used to love and order from Duluth Trading Co- no more

How disappointing to see that the Smithsonian Museum gives 95% to Republicans. This, according to the Goods Unite Us app.

Question: Can President Biden pardon people before they have been charged?

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

Shout out to Harbor Freight for supporting democracy

Why, it’s almost like…religion

If you are an honorable federal employee in a department that is about to be dismantled or undermined, do you stay and fight ? Or do you leave? This is the internal struggle every federal employee is facing. My heart goes out to them.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
