Wait, does he need to have the Secret Service staff labeled now, so he can tell who they are and why they’re telling him to do things?
In all my past years as a federal employee, I’ve never ever seen the Secret Service wearing explanatory t-shirts announcing themselves to the world. Until now.

Talking about my struggles with being overweight still makes me uncomfortable, since weight can carry moral judgment in ways that other health challenges don't.
But that fear stops too many struggling from getting treatment that could extend their lives.

Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission.
The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

This 80 second clip of Justice Robert Jackson’s opening statement will send shivers down your spine. Commit it to memory like the Gettysberg address. It’s even more important than Lincoln’s speech because we forgot his words the first time. We can’t promise “never again” if we don’t remember.

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.
We have power in numbers, and we'll continue to fight for a better Starbucks.
