If Lawrencians are going to confuse the Ecumenical Campus Ministries for a church, executive director Jessie Duke at least wants it to seem like a wild one. That’s why she opened a punk, anarchist bookstore in the building. lawrenceks.news/3YtMwjR

Soda and cigarettes were the tip of the spear that sold capitalism to most of the world. If it's good enough to get subsistence economy folks to think they might need to raise some cash you know it's got something going for it. Sweet surrender.

The needless loss of life is only going to grow. We need to reject the collective suicide pact with those who do not believe in the promise of America whose greatness comes from knowledge and wisdom.
25 dead so far across Texas from flooding. Local authorities are blaming poor forecasting.
It’s all so tragically predictable and criminally negligent.

NEW: Mass layoffs began today at NOAA.
Workers were fired by email at the agency which runs the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre & Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.
Services are already shutting down.

I chose making memories and enjoying the fireworks with my community, though I had an urge to protest and boycott. You only get kids for a time and I think I made the call. Happy Interdependence Day. May we all resolve to work to reestablish the rule of law and good governance. Be safe.

Who wants America to be like this? Sad.
ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.
After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.
Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”
Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.
