    I wouldn’t recommend it. Zero first-hand knowledge, but I’ve heard their Loss Prevention department is diligent and ruthless. Apparently, they carefully document and tabulate the total theft of return shoplifters. Then, when they have the chance to catch them, they hold on for longer without doing anything. The thief gets emboldened (and has no idea the total dollar amount). Then, Target swoops in, and has law enforcement there waiting. Suddenly, it’s a felony charge based on the accumulated loss…













  • That’s exactly the point. Those of us that want gun control don’t want to rip them from the hands of responsible gun-owners.

    We want common-sense laws that let us research and prevent gun violence. We want to keep guns out of the hands of those too young to understand them, criminals, abusers, stalkers, and the mentally-ill. We want people to have to understand how to safely operate them before purchasing guns, going hunting, or obtaining a concealed-carry permit. We want to limit gun crimes and school shootings.

    But Republicans, the NRA, and gun lobbies oppose all of these popular positions most Americans agree on, even though it results in more gun deaths. There’s no compromising with fundamentalists…


  • It’s insane that these anonymous fascist enforcers can run around the country causing chaos and ignoring laws. They’re harassing men, women, and children, people protected by court orders, and even citizens, and using an obscure centuries-old law to deny people their due process, then send them to a unknown country not related to their ancestry for them to be imprisoned and tortured. And the masked cowards don’t even have to show a badge number so they can be held accountable.

    Let’s protest, and strike, and vote, and see if we can achieve some semblance of legal justice after the midterms, but ultimately: We are a failed, authoritarian nation if we accept this. And we will deserve everything that goes with it…
