How Does Democracy Work With a Citizenry Increasingly Uninformed & Fearful?
The data shows that Americans wildly overestimate the number of people in this country who are NOT like them. And Americans wildly underestimate the number of people in this country who ARE like them. This misinformation creates fear. And politicians feed on this fear. What do we do about this?

That American Creed That 'No Man Is Above The Law' Officially Died Yesterday
Four years ago, he committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election. He was eventually indicted for those crimes over a year ago. Yesterday, all charges against him were dismissed. Not because he didn't commit the crimes. But because he won reelection to the White House. Thus, a regrettable & scary precedent is set. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Once Again, Trump Is Attacking The Transfer Of Power. And Once Again, American National Security Will Pay A Price.
Trump is purposely messing with the peaceful transfer of power again. He's purposely ignoring the federal government for this transition and doing it all on his own. Why? Because he doesn't trust anyone in the federal government. So what's the big deal? Oh, nothing...just this country's national security. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An Election Denier Should NOT Be Attorney General
Gaetz is out, Pam Bondi is now in. The former FL Attorney General is a Trump Loyalist, a believer in the deep state, and an election denier. That right there should disqualify her. Also, Republicans now suddenly think the economy is doing great. What changed? And...please imagine the absolute worst these next four years. Please. Hosted on Acast.

Democrats Aren't Losing The Culture Wars Because They're Wrong. They're Losing Because They Don't Fight.
Take it from me, a former right wing culture war fighter. Democrats are losing the culture wars. Which is crazy because most of America is with Democrats on culture war issues. So why are Dems losing these battles? Because they don't engage. Because they cede the culture war turf. Because they don't fight. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Deportation: The Facts. The Truth
Our immigration system is broken. Been broken for a long time. Trump & the GOP demagogue the issue (I used to as well), and Democrats have ignored the issue. Trump is promising to deport 15 million or so people who are in this country illegally. He won't. He just wanted to be able to say that in the campaign. But...we should be prepared for him to try.

No, Dammit. I Won't Move On From HIM. I've Moved On From The Election. But Won't Move On From Him
People tell me all the time to get over it, you've got Trump derangement syndrome, you gotta move on, etc, etc. Move on? I don't even understand that. How can I move on from him when this country just voted to make him President again? He'll be more dangerous in two months than he is now. He'll have power again. I won't "move on" from that.

Cut It Out Joe & Mika - DO! NOT! NORMALIZE! HIM!
As we speak, Donald Trump is busy at work continuing his war against democracy, our democratic institutions, checks & balances, and the rule of law. He remains every bit the threat to democracy he was 4 weeks ago. I know that Joe & Mika believe that. They said it every day of this campaign. So why in God's name would they run down to Mar a Lago this past weekend to sit down with him? All they're doing is normalizing him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
