Mr. Secretary, I got two seconds, respectfully, you know what I'd really wish you'd spend more time on? More time thinking about the American people, less time talking about whale heads, bear heads, and raccoon parts!
A state judge has ruled that every red-light ticket written to a cyclist under the state's vehicle and traffic law since 2019 is bogus. The city legalized the practice of biking through a red light on a pedestrian 'walk' signal, yet NYPD cops have been wrongly writing tickets for cyclists who go through the 'red' on the walk signal.
Nick Bowes emphasized the unpredictability of the upcoming elections, stating that the fragmentation in the polls suggests a potentially difficult night for both Labour and Conservatives, marking these elections as possibly the most consequential in two decades.
On the morning of the Unite the Right rally, I lumbered down the staircase of a Catskills Airbnb rented for a bachelor party to learn that only hours before, a gang of white nationalists stormed the University of Virginia campus wielding Tiki torches and chanting, 'Jews will not replace us.'

Fucking Neil Young is angrier than ever - jeez, Louise. But, yeah, of course, it's hard not to feel political living in America, where we're deeply divided. And there's injustice, and there's so much hate and fear, and it's such a drag.

As small, informal operations gave way to large, complex organizations with clearly defined roles and responsibilities, leaders would need to rely less on tradition and charisma, and more on organization and rationality.

In the United States, we haven't yet seen rifles aimed at large crowds, but we do observe masked federal agents detaining protesters in unmarked vehicles, flashy ICE raids staged like military operations and pardons for political violence all clear warning signs. Ignoring this is the first step toward complacency, which can kill liberty. Fascism is often misunderstood.
