How Americans claim to be a caring society, but they do not really care at all. If there is one thing this election proved, it is that Americans don’t really mean what they say. They have proven beyond a doubt that they: The motto of America is now the same

Again, and again, and again…..the cycle never ends.
I had to wait a couple of days to write about the Uvalde slaughter of children and teachers. I had to wait because I was so angry. Angry that, again, we are going through the same set of senseless deaths. Angry that this happened while they were still burying victims
Continue readingAn excellent summation.
Of the damage to the American Republic that the Roberts Court has accomplished in the last 20 years. As one who is old enough to remember Thurgood Marshall on the Court as well as many others, the current crop of conservative Justices, brought to you by the slime at The

I have not been able to post for the last two months for many reasons. It’s been a hard couple of months. Between making a pilgrimage back to the sacred soil of my Alma Mater and then on to Shopping Mall – which, thanks to both of them being unmasked

On Twitter a couple of days ago, a brilliant guy named David Neiwert published a long Twitter thread on the tactic that conservatives and their deranged followers have used to discredit valid criticism of the atrocities they turn a blind eye to. The tactic is known as “waving the bloody
