Dear Joe Biden: Your Age Is Not The Problem Here. New Rules Are
Joe Biden needs to step down now. Right now. And I write that as a person who absolutely believes that in 2020 – and up until this moment – Joe was the perfect person for the moment. But the moment changed. The Supreme Court changed it when they gave the POTUS extraordinary – and extra-Constitutional…

Want To Win In 2024, Democrats? Make Kamala Harris POTUS Right NOW
We need more than a presidential candidate, we need a prosecutor for democracy.

Democrats Govern, Republicans Rule; There’s A Difference
Whatever “it” is the news media thinks both sides do? They don’t. And pretty much never have done. Though our corporate press insists Democrats and Republicans are variations on the same theme, they could not be more dissimilar. If the last decade has demonstrated anything – again and again and again – it’s that Democrats…

We Need To Start Using The Word “TRAITOR” – And Meaning It
Donald Trump is a traitor. So is virtually the entire Republican Party. There. I said it. More to the point? I absolutely mean it. Donald Trump and virtually everyone in the Republican Party – because either they are one or they stand with one – is a TRAITOR. Not a hyperbolic traitor, but a literal…

Calling Republicans “Traitors” Isn’t Political
Donald Trump was a liar long before the press finally called him one. An authoritarian and a fascist, too. The same applies to “traitor”. He is one and has been one all along. Ditto the rest of the GOP. What, after all, is a pro-Putin Republican if not a traitor by another name? Calling them…

Trump’s Two Supreme Court Cases Are Connected
In the next week, ex-president and lifetime criminal Donald Trump will have two huge cases before the Supreme Court. The weird thing is, they’re connected in essential ways. The even weirder thing? Our inept news media hasn’t seen or made the connections. But the two cases ARE connected – and the fact that no one’s…

The GOP And The Neo-Confederacy
The American Civil War is proof. It’s no good winning a war if you’re going to lose the peace that follows. While the North got the war’s “W” in real time, the Confederacy, in the long term, got the “W” that counts. Reconstruction should have begun to undo slavery’s myriad harms – to the slaves…

Fade To White
What in the world do white people in America want? Oh, right – to be the only people in America whose opinion – or votes – matter. You know, like how it was when the country started. Back then, the only men (created) equal to rich, white, Christian men were other rich, white, Christian men.…

Here’s Why Democracy Is Going To Win In America
I’ll own it. I’m hopelessly optimistic; about some things; and America is one of them. Our outlook seems bleak right now. Hell, our outlook is bleak. That’s because the forces opposed to American democracy have put all their cards on the table. We are living through their Hail Mary, last ditch chuck toward the end…
