“America First” is not an economic policy, it be is a Nazi dog whistle, after the 1930’s pro-Nazi movement called America First, led by Charles Lindbergh, close friend of Herman Goering.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what dirt Putin has on Trump, this is who he actually is in his malignant heart.

No, because we are being attacked by the Republican Party. Let’s get in the habit of laying the blame where it belongs. It’s not Musk, it’s not Trump, It’s the Republican Party.

We just freed a woman who spent almost 44 years in prison on a false confession. See State ex rel. Bailey v. Horsman, 700 SW3d 1 (Mo. App. 2024) for an excellent description of how it happened and what it took to overturn her conviction. Interrogators still use the same risky methods.

This is the same lady who threw a fit about research scientists using federal money to do sex change operations on mice because she doesn’t know what “transgenic” means.

This story reveals ICE raid strategy. Agents appear claiming to have a warrant for a pedophile, but never show it. OWNER CONSENTS. They ask all Latinx employees for ID and fingerprint them, THEY CONSENTED. 12 were arrested WITHOUT CAUSE. Lesson: 1. DO NOT CONSENT 2. LEAVE 3. STFU 4. CALL A LAWYER

I heard the New Democratic Party Chairman on NPR tonight and it was depressing. The same incompetent messaging. AOC fires me up, this milk toast makes me sad for the future. We can’t do better than this? Is the plan just to hope that Republicans hurt enough people that they lose the next election?

People don’t realize just how much of themselves exonerees give when they speak publicly of their ordeal. Like ripping a giant bandaid off. It takes a lot of courage and generosity.

I have a friend who wrote a song then one day driving home from work he heard Ronnie Milsap singing it on the radio. He had dated proof when he wrote it and was able to sue.

It’s not even a crime, it’s a civil infraction, like a parking ticket or an overdue library book. Crossing the border is not a crime unless you have previously been involuntarily deported and try to re-enter the U.S. And asylum seekers have an absolute right to enter the U.S. and apply for asylum.

Do not despair at the first waive of Trump’s E.O.s. When Dick the Butcher said “Let’s kill all the lawyers,” it was his recipe for tyranny. If you care about these issues and feel helpless, find a legal advocacy group you like and donate generously. Trump will get his ass handed to him in court.

What did Shakespeare mean when he wrote “let’s kill all the lawyers?”
Hello there. Perhaps you clicked on this link because you have heard people cite Shakespeare on the necessity of killing all the lawyers and wonder if it’s a myth. Or maybe you suspect it&#82…

Mark is right. Our radicals want everyone to have healthcare, housing, a livable wage, and a good education. Their radicals want to murder us. That won’t change, but the swing voters are accessible. You don’t do the right thing to get votes, you do the right thing because it’s the right thing.

I remember when this happened in Illinois to Rolando Cruz. The trial itself was a crime.
