POST 1146 You know about the tsunami of Trump’s attacks on our government and our Constitution. His is a multi-pronged assault designed to destroy everything we care about, to “tear it all down.” Vague policy explanations of the reasons to oppose and abhor this danger are insufficient to convey the urgency. This needs to be… [read more]
This Is Not Normal
POST 1145 It’s no surprise that Trump is making moves to erase the entire Biden presidency. It’s not just Biden’s legacy he’s after. He’s trying to erase Biden from future history books.

You Can See It Coming
POST 1143 What’s Really Happening Billionaires and wild-eyed, angry people frothing at the mouth over the power they’ll have over others (like you) are trying to make their domination seem normal, selling it to you as the way things should be.

Perception Deception
POST 1138 Update From the Institute for the Destruction of Intelligence, Opportunity, Trust and Self-rule (“IDIOTS”) Trump wants you to perceive the wonderful wonderfulness of his you’ve-never-seen-anything-like-this-before, the-best-in-the-world, never-done-before, only-I promises, so, he’s declared all sorts of bone headed things that will begin on “day-one.” On day-one, says Trump, he’ll begin an absurd number of… [read more]
What We Wish Judge Juan Merchan Had Said
POST 1137 Preface: The following is solely wishful thinking. Much to our disappointment, Judge Merchan did not say these words.
