Let’s face it. The United States are probably over. Oh, sure, it will continue as a country, but it won’t be anything like it’s supposed to be. It will be Rome near the end, as the barbarians were massing on the borders.

The difference between liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Fascists, is empathy. As you go up the empathy ladder, the lower rungs are thronged with MAGAts and what used to be the Republican party.
We as Democrats have a lot to worry us come November. But if I were on the other side, the Fascist side, and if I were capable (as they’re not) of thoughtfulness and reflection, I’d be even MORE worried.
If Reagan was a cancer on this country, Trump was a supercharged form of extraterrestrial syphilis. And Biden is turning out the be the first good president in a long time.
Nothing quite demonstrates the necessity for us to step up in 2024 than a horror writer's perspective.
An imaginary, but not too far-fetched Juneteenth conversation aboard Air Force One in 2020.
This is not complicated. Trump lost the election, took documents he wasn’t allowed to take and showed these documents to at LEAST two people who weren’t authorized to see them.
The far right has morphed into an actual fascist party, calling for violence and the overthrow of the US Constitution—except for the 2nd Amendment. The humanist majority needs to pay attention and get to work.
There are a lot of decisions we must make as voters and the information we have to work with has evolved in directions we never expected—and now there are things we just can't un-hear or un-see.
We’ve been slaughtering each other since we became human, and even before. But back in the savannah days, you had to WORK at it. Now, anyone can kill anyone, and it’s easy. Just point, and pull the trigger.
Heavier and heavier loads of oppression and outright sabotage have been driving over the bridge of our Democracy trying to tear past its weight limit. So far they have not succeeded. But even today, the attempts continue.
