Dear progressives,
First off, I'm on your side. Always have been. Always will be. So, don't go all cray-cray on me for what I'm about to write.
You've got to stop demonizing friends of your movement because they aren't pure enough for you. Bill...

It just felt like more eyes should see this. I’ve never read Laurie Penny before, but I will certainly read her again. Excellent observations and writing in this piece.
What she accomplishes here is, to me, a great mix of observation,...

If you want to understand 45, investigate the popular psychology of professional wrestling. If, for no other reason, than that Linda McMahon runs both World Wrestling Entertainment and the Small Business Administration of the United States. Give me a...

… Just to catch a whiff of some damn fine cuisine as we wait for the other shoe to drop… and maybe catch a whiff of what the Ubers and Filthys* are up to.
We're up late Jibbering our Jabber about the Great Dem Party Divide, Indivisible, the...

We are the UNITED States of America, and one of the important features of the country is in its name, UNITED.
When people argue about the Pledge of Allegiance, as if it is an official document or some kind of incantation, they stress the “under God”...

Where do I go to tell the President to STOP this pitting the press against himself? It makes it impossible for the American citizen to make informed choices. The press is the best conduit to a free and open democracy. A president theoretically, uses...

I have been spending time putting some of my thoughts about the state of our great and vast country and the man who is the apparently elected official into my art. I have a few. I will post them occasionally.

My heart is bouncing up and down tonight. UP with the many clips of folks showing up in town halls and speaking their minds. DOWN with the news of Trump’s latest cruel slash of of a pen against such a small, brave minority.
With ALL the strife and...

Most of you are U.S. citizens, a few more are greencard holders… the latter isn’t worth so much in the Trump times, of course.
I’m just a former resident of the U.S. (legal) but please understand that it frightens me that I might never be allowed...

Much as many would like, the fact is that not all Trump voters/supporters think the same way, or voted for him for the same reasons – or continue to support him. There are different (and sometimes surprising) demographics when you break it all down. ...

While many remain distracted by the hope that Lord Dampnut will “die in jail”, others need to see how GOP immigration enforcement is really a PIC profit center. It is a capitalist’s wet-dream to be able to profit from criminalizing your presence.

I came across this media bias survey in my face book feed (through a share to RAD Politics) and it is very therapeutic to complete the survey. Irony is lost on these incompetent fools in that they are using a worthless survey to prove that media is...

Donald Trump has done journalists a huge favor, inadvertently using his insane unpopularity to boost voters' trust in them. Apparently when you get attacked by a pr*sident who has the lowest approval ratings in the history of presidential approval...

We can and should happily gloat at how unpopular the new Quinnipiac poll shows that President Trump has already become, just a month into the job. But I found an even more interesting datum in the Quinnipiac poll’s internals. Support for Republicans...
