Respect for One’s Executioner
This from Sartre.
Great parallel to modern-day Trump supporters, who love their leader while he’s robbing them blind and they’re paying $5 for a gallon of gasoline.
An Economy that Works for Everyone
Right-wingers, like the fellow shown here, tend to make broad and unfair generalizations about the left.
Progressives would like to see an economy that works for everyone, not just the uber-rich. We want wealth creation for the people who need it most.
The best way to make this happen is strong, high-quality public education and universal healthcare.
These are not radical concepts; this is the way the vast majority of the developed world operates.
The Latest Chapter in Trump’s Depravity
About 40% of Americans are proud to have a president who would commit the act of cowardice described at left.
Rick Steves Understands World History and Doesn’t Like What He Sees Here in the U.S.
Well-educated people see what’s happening here in Trump’s America, and they’re calling out a warning. Are we listening?
Congressional Republicans seem to be OK with their legacy: I helped destroy the United States of America.
When the United States Returns
The whole world is hoping desperately that the United States can recover from the plunge it’s taken into hatred and ignorance.

Humanitarianism in the Papacy
Pope Leo is continuing–and expanding–the trend in the Catholic Church towards compassion for all of humankind.
This, of course, runs afoul of Trump and the MAGA base that, for instance, regards immigrants as “vermin.”
Yes, Leaving this Dying Country Would Preserve Our Sanity
Many us who would like to see Trump removed from office and criminally prosecuted would love to leave the filth and shame that the president has wrought upon us and move to places like New Zealand.
Why are we not doing that? We’re not filthy rich. We would not leave behind our children and our network of doctors.

Trump: a Terrible Person
I laughed out loud when he first came on the political scene.
I called my mother immediately and asked, “Isn’t it pretty much a requirement that a presidential candidate be at least a fairly decent human being? This guy is clearly a terrible person. Did I miss something here? George W. Bush was a moron, but he wasn’t a slime bag.”
