For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!
How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

Peaceful and effective protests have been taken to a new level by the Portland-initiated inflatable frogs.

in all seriousness, when are we getting an animal senator?
Blocking can also be salutary for the blocked. Tom Nichols blocked me after I called his Led Zeppelin antipathy a tiresome bit. So now I check in on his mix of righteous political posts and irritable mental gestures once in a while via a second account, which renders him infinitely more palatable.

Don't even get get me started on how an AUSA, in a sworn declaration filed in federal court, complains about how many habeas cases they have and how hard it's making their life. Pathetic.

3) Other adverse rulings in MN.
4) One page plus TWO PAGE footnote on similar rulings nationally.
I wonder what percentage increase in death threats were faced by the Wehrmacht, Gestapo, and SS starting in 1939?
About "agitators" --

2. I doubt it's unintentional that they continue to use a loaded term inextricably linked with segregationists and bigots.
I managed to get through it with some fast-forwarding and it was a dispiriting demonstration of Shapiro’s mastery of 1.5x speed filibustering and monologuing overpowering Remnick’s mild come-let-us-reason-together interpolations.
