You Can’t Bring a Firearm to a Protest. It’s That Simple.

“You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.” — FBI Director Kash Patel

The Killing of Alex Pretti Should Be the Breaking Point

Alex Pretti’s death shows what happens when armed federal agents are given political cover to operate above the law and the public is told to ignore what it can plainly see. When the state kills in public and lies about it afterward, neutrality is no longer an option.

The Mark Kelly “Sedition Scandal” and a President Who Doesn’t Understand the Oath

President Trump has a long history of disparaging members of the military who disagree with him. Back in 2015, he shrugged off John McCain’s five and a half years as a POW with “He’s not a war hero… I like people who weren’t captured,” and kept sniping at him even after he died. It runs…

“We were angry and righteous in those days, and there were millions of us. We kicked two chief executives out of the White House because they were stupid warmongers. We conquered Lyndon Johnson and we stomped on Richard Nixon… Our tribe was strong like a river. That river is still running. All we have to do is get out and vote, while it’s still legal, and we will wash those crooked warmongers out of the White House.”

The SAVE America Act would add a new hurdle for women who changed their names to vote. The women would need to provide documentation or sign an affidavit, but they don’t lose their right to vote. Trump wants the bill to pass the Senate.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said the SAVE America Act would require in-person voter registration, “something only 5% of Americans do today." The act would require that, but the rate of in-person registrations is higher than Schumer said.
HB 991 supporters say the bill will ensure that only eligible U.S. citizens vote and it requires driver licenses to include citizenship status. Critics worry it will disenfranchise eligible voters who are unable to meet the bill’s demands.
Florida school districts have some control over the amount of property tax revenue they receive, but rates are either capped, subject to voter approval or mandated by the state. A recent surge in home values is the primary driver of property tax increases.
Even as the Trump administration has changed vaccine recommendations, major insurance companies have largely continued to cover vaccines the U.S. government previously recommended. A recent court ruling hasn’t altered that.

"If You Don't Want Minimum Wages, Don't Work Minimum Jobs"

“Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.”
- Terence McKenna, attributed

"In the end, McKenna, the Stoics, Buddhists, Taoists, and Heraclitus are all pointing us toward the same truth: to live fully, we must learn to dance with chaos, not run from it. We must let go of our rigid need for control and open ourselves to the wild, untamed, and unpredictable flow of life. Only then can we truly understand the deeper currents that shape our existence, the very sections of life where chaos and order intertwine."
