First they came for the undocumented, with armed soldiers guarding the border although 3/4 of all foreigners who violate their visas fly here from all over the world. Then they came for all Muslim-Americans under the false and immoral pretense they were defending American Jews. Then they came for universities, independent thinkers and scholars whose […]
Let’s assume you know why we must remove Trump from power and get down to how to do it: 1. Take Back the Congress In the past 60 years the party in power has lost House seats in midterm elections 13 of 15 times, with an average loss of 24 seats. In all […]
Men hitting 80 may well demonstrate some cognitive decline. Biden is a good and honorable man. Trump is trying to move the country toward authoritarism, so not not quite the same, yes?

Why would our defense costs have […]

Worse, most of the elected officials in the party are pursuing a hopeless strategy, waiting for Trump to stumble. They think this will provide them with the opportunity to block his dismantling of our republic. This seems […]
Contemporary fascism is usually described with words, but numbers will also work. Trump’s proposed budget is remarkable for quantifying cruelty, shifting the tax burden from the rich to everyone else and offering hopes and prayers rather than food and shelter for the neediest among us.
