Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Dear White Liberals: Blacks and Hispanics Want No Part of Your Anti-ICE Protests... this is not our fight, and it never will be

In fact, large majorities of Hispanics disapprove of Trump's immigration policies, with four-in-five Hispanics saying Trump's policies harm Hispanics. Only about one in four Black Americans support Trump's immigration policies.

QUOTE:
White Liberal Women Really Are Bat Poop Crazy, and This Proves It... According to the poll, around 24% of Americans overall think criminal action, including violence, is acceptable to stop federal immigration enforcement.

Misleading. The survey question was loaded, but encompassed whether breaking the law is acceptable to protest immigration policies. Breaking the law includes civil disobedience, such as sit-ins.

Yet another fitness article where the authors show they know absolutely nothing about effective strength training. For example, a weight with which you can complete 30 reps is by definition not heavy.
