Fearmongering From The Nation, As They Fret That ‘The South Shall Rise Again!’
The Nation is a biweekly ‘progressive’ political journal, whose positions have usually been on the far left end of the American political spectrum.

School Solutions
If your boss tells you it’s “not acceptable” that you failed to do something that they wanted you to do, you could reasonably take that as a threat to your future employment. However, if the thing they wanted you to do is vote, then their words are a likely violation of Idaho law (Idaho Code …

If You’re Scared, Say You’re Scared. But Don’t Be Afraid of Stupid Stuff.
That things get stupid following a mass shooting, such as the one in Louisville, or school shooting like the one in Nashville, is expected. But there’s a point at which stupidity gets squared.
