I was raised by a nurse with an associates degree and a steel mill electrician. I am not denigrating the value and dignity of blue collar work when I ask how many elite national media staffers are raising future bricklayers themselves.

27 years ago I worked as a historian in a land claim suit to recover Indigenous lands illegally claimed by the state of NY. We lost, despite historical evidence that clearly supported our side. Going to court is like playing tennis against an opponent who can raise or lower the net at will.
I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.
