Except, it is. I’ll give you the technical answer first, and the personal one second. 1. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is not a contained conflict - it’s an attack on the international order the U.S. helped build after WWII. If aggression goes unchecked in Europe, it signals to…

The Republican Party has done a 180. Used to be “we want the federal government out of our lives”. Now? They are putting the federal government in our universities, corporate board rooms, libraries, museums, and local police departments, just to name a few.
