Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

I am angry tonight.
Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.

Examining red versus blue isn’t about division. It’s about objective comparison.
Two major political choices. Same measurements. Side by side.
Federal money. Health. Healthcare. Pay.
The numbers don’t tell you what to believe. They give you information to consider.
The truth is still free. 🇺🇸

One of the great bands of the 1980s that I think didn’t get nearly the recognition they deserved—The Call.
They have a huge sound that is uniquely their own, anthemic, and timeless.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I am a barrister who once spent time seconded to the CPS serious crimes unit making charging decisions.
Today, you can pretend to be one too and work through the decision-making framework in a very serious case.
The police have multiple suspects in custody and the phone just rang.

Last night’s Harvest Moon over Seattle. The clouds made it feel even more dramatic as it rose above the Space Needle and the Cascades. Also called the Corn Moon, this is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox.

'Purge Palantir!': Union nurses warn Big Tech and Big Brother are invading our healthcare system

With our kids now #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re afraid of. If more kids walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a LOT of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school as a result. HT Ian Lockwood.
