free and fair elections?
Elections are not free and fair when a government acts to ensure the electoral outcome it wants. It’s worse when their actions are intended to affect Federal election outcomes. Looking at you, Texas. If California (or other states) acts to counteract this, it’s just as bad, but the stakes are so high in our broken…

methinks some thinks
The house passed a bill that would prevent stock trading by Senators and Reps. In a moment of spite or genius, I’m not sure which, someone renamed it the Pelosi bill. What better way to get this bill signed at some point than to make the GOP that they’re sticking to the Libs? Genius, I…

we ain’t going to space
Why on earth would you create the Space Force and then start dismantling the agency that builds the rockets to get you there? Answer: Because you intend to privatize the whole thing. Even though most of those rockets blow up or haven’t ever been to space. Government for billionaires funded by the poors at twice…

great civilizations
The world’s great civilizations are remembered for their art and science, for their ingenuity, the flourishing of music and stories, and the slow but steady march toward equality and justice. From 1776 through 2016, the United States of America experienced unprecedented progress. It invented and discovered, and its residents and laws were pulled closer to…

“everyone but me”
Watching the presidential meltdown over Epstein is terrifying and hilarious. SCOTUS handed him presidential immunity. But he wants to jail Obama who would be, per SCOTUS, immune from anything he did while in office. He bloviates about free speech but he got Colbert cancelled and he’s suing yet another media company for publishing words he…

“i don’t draw”
Says the man who from time-to-time donated or auctioned off doodles. Gee, I wonder what the secret was? And let’s talk for a second about how the behavior of men who appear to be interested in having sex with minors is being described as “bawdy.” Like it’s no big deal. It’s the same fucking bullshit…

A Tragedy in One Part
There’s a missing minute on the Epstein jail tape. There’s a client list oops there’s no client list. The GOP mainstay conspiracy theorist idolators are losing their fucking minds and so is their king but for different reasons that, for once, are not in lock step. He’s a liar, GOPers. He’s always been a liar.…

just say no?
GOP to women: Don’t miscarry, and you’ll be fine. Otherwise, we’ll have to send you to jail.

the cringe president
Doesn’t anyone brief that fool on anything? He just make an absolute cringey fool of himself in Liberia, a country founded by free Black Americans in 1820 and that speaks English. By now I recognize the way he behaves and speaks when he encounters someone who does not fit his racist ideas about people who…

no list?
Do I have it right that someone who ran a sex trafficking operation catering to rich men did not keep track of favorite types of girls to traffic for these pedos? I mean maybe not. But it’s ironically and tragically hilarious to me that the GOP has been talking for YEARS about this client list…
