I was at a regular check-up and while sitting in the waiting room, I saw the image below on the screen. Clearly the DVD had “jammed,” but it seemed to me to be an apt metaphor of where we are now. I...

Texas broke the rules. Virginia answered. Everything else is noise.

This is an amazing thirty minutes by someone I never imagined I would align with given his strong association with Republican politics of a by-gone era. The political world has definitely changed.

Inside the Supreme Court memos that reveal the moment everything changed.

A time for joy, for celebration of this great country, of being in community with others........

We have a madman at the helm.

Donald Trump and his entire administration bear primarily responsible for the absolute disaster that is the Iranian war. However, we must hold all Congressional Republicans also responsible in Novemb...

Reports from more than 30 U.S. military installations say commanders are framing the Iran War as a holy war, to trigger Armageddon, or even bring back Jesus

At the State of the Union (SOTU), Republicans in Congress are once again bending the knee to Trump and hanging their constituents out to dry. Nobody should participate in Trump’s vanity project, and t...

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

We should be fighting to both end ICE's lawlessness and "narrow the targets" in the days ahead. The country does not support Trump's mass deportation agenda.

If Republicans insist that ICE enforcement should not be governed by standard law enforcement rules, then Democrats should lay the blame for the inevitable partial government shut down at the feet of ...

If congressional Democrats satisfy for half measures, I will just scream!! ICE must be reformed from the ground up and leave our cities.

Here's a novel idea. How about the Senate Democrats refuse to any future funding for ICE until every last releasable Epstein document has been produced publicly in accordance with the law passed by C...

We should spread the Springsteen lyric video “Streets of Minneapolis” far and wide. I’m old enough to remember the 60’s anthem “Ohio” and know the power of music. It awakens us all.

The ongoing resistance to ICE in cities across the country, including Minneapolis, is showing us the way forward. We know that ongoing, sustained resistance is the path forward to defeating authoritar...

This is a regime of thugs, misfits, and murderers.

We should all contact our senators today or tomorrow urging them not to support the 2026 DHS appropriations bill providing additional billions for ICE. It will be considered by the Senate next week. ...

Whatever pathetic about-face Trump did today in Davos America is going to pay a very steep economic and security cost for his rancid betrayal of Europe

I’m afraid that the world we have known for all our lives is about to change in ways we simply could not have imagined, like commercial planes being purposely used as projectiles. Trump is batshit cr...

Throughout history, coordinated noncooperation has been one of the public's most effective tools. Here's how to use it.

MLK’s, I Have A Dream speech was a benchmark for humanity – much like the planting of the flag on the moon. The forces of evil killed the messenger, but they were too late. The seeds of the dream ha...

I’ve often wondered how the German people allowed the Holocaust to occur. Many of my ancestors lost their lives in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, or Belzec. While I’m not predict...

Words are an essential component in our fight against fascism. We should be precise. ICE is not a law enforcement agency because it operates in total disregard of the law. It is quickly becoming a N...

I often write with too many words. So, I think it is time to be short and explicit (although this may not qualify). There is no "other" now. There never should have been, but ICE has made that point a...

This administration is ICE — Imperious, Corrupt, and Evil. What happened to Ms. Good was an inevitable outcome of this Administration’s explicit policies. In response to this horror, Trump took the Ar...

I am so ready to say goodbye to 2025—more ready to see a year recede in the rearview mirror than I can ever recall.

Quite sobering

Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.

In politics, as in life, things change gradually, then suddenly.
