The 11-year NBA veteran said Friday on X that he was "officially declaring" for the 2027 WNBA Draft in a sarcasm-laden post that immediately drew social media condemnation. Freedom is capitalizing on the recent controversy surrounding statements made by the Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham. Though Cunningham has attempted to distance herself from the remarks, she told ESPN that she wanted to use her platform as a WNBA player to "protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men." read more
"An emerging critique of Democratic decision-making," the chapter states, "is there are too many people who have become generationally wealthy off politics and drive too much of the decision-making within the ecosystem. This is deeply frustrating to many... who want to try a different set of politics but keep banging their heads up against a system proven to be inflexible and self-enriching."

Basically in Florida, the initial aggressor can claim self-defense if the other party escalates a non-deadly conflict into a deadly threat and escape is impossible.
Which is a horrible idea, just making this sort of thing more likely to happen.
I found what I thought was my answer through a temp agency listing for a night-shift position at a downtown Los Angeles homeless shelter. The pay was $16 an hour, and the listing said, "urgently hiring." I was an adult with a pulse willing to do the job for that wage, so I was hired.
Imagine paid $16/hr while the NGO Ceo is paid $400,000/yr of taxpayer money.

One of the things that I learned (OK, drilled into me) in college for Engineering was that I should always look at an analyze both sides of the problems that face me.
Yet you never practice it.
