This isn’t hyperbole or the need to have a “shock” headline. We are seeing The Handmaid’s Tale play out in Texas and all of the other GQP states are drooling eagerly to see the success so that they can imitate it. The blatantly illegal Texas law passed that tries to…
And It’s Happened In the Past
We all watched what unfolded on January 6th, but for anyone paying attention, this was just the culmination of years of right wing propaganda. During all of that time, very few wanted to say the real words of what was happening in the experiment for Democracy, and those that did…
While Thousands of Women of Color go Missing Every Year Unnoticed
No family should have to go through the horrors of having a loved one go missing. The sheer terror that is involved in the often years of not knowing is something that none of us can even come close to imagining. And yet every year this happens to thousands of…
Can We Save It?
The Roman Empire lasted for over 1,000 years. Ghengis Khan led the Mongols to rule for over 1,500 years. Dynastic rule in China extended to nearing four millennia. And yet here we watch one of the most visionary methods of government stumble, crumble, and die with a whimper. There are…

The faux empathy that the Republicans (aka GQP) are expressing in concern about Afghan women under the Taliban rule would be laughable if the entire situation wasn’t so dire. Here is a political party that gathered a group of white men together in Washington, D.C. to determine the fate of…
We are still reeling from the January 6th insurrection attempt by supporters of the former guy. Amid their lies and cries for “freedom” we, as a country, still have the images of that day burned into a psyche. There were thousands that descended on our Capitol that day and we…
By Creating Their Own Maps
The release of the 2020 Census Bureau information pretty much shocked a lot of the conservative faction. For the first time, the white population of the U.S. had declined, and to put it bluntly: this scared the crap out of Republicans. When some experts extrapolated the data and predicted that…
