Life Is Not Always Fair, But That Shouldn’t Justify Complacency with Oppressive Social Conditions
There are two things that can be said about this. One is that self-accountability, while it’s a good thing overall, is taken to extreme in conservative politics. There are victims in this world, victims of systemic and oppressive conditions, racism …
The Least the Democrats Can Say Is That They’re “Not Nuts”

I wonder what’s the point of demarcation between Trump’s 31K run-of-the-mill lies and these so-called “looney lies.” Where does one draw the line? Seriously, this lunatic’s presence in Congress may be serving a purpose, as people are dropping out of …

Will Young People Vote?
Here’s a little video that pokes fun at young people for not voting. Extremely well done. Virtually anything we might want: money out of politics, affordable healthcare, quality education, social programs, women’s reproductive rights, environmental stewardship, peace agreements held intact, …
