I think Trump Mar-A-Lago “raid” was either: -a major national security scandal about a trove of top-secret documents that Trump was trying to sell to Putin or the Saudis; OR -a Got Junk? cleanup of old presidential souvenirs that the Trumps had been too lazy to box up themselves and

Some chatter these days about how conservatives and progressives aren’t talking to each other very much anymore. Another day of nightmare oppression in communist Canada 🇨🇦 pic.twitter.com/msNUsft7Se — Dr. Ian Garner (@irgarner) July 17, 2022 We don’t agree on some basic definitions anymore, do we. One striking thing about GOPers

I had never seen this before, its absolutely hilarious. Here’s another great Twitter story: Frank Slade was helping his Aunt Ethel run her gas station in Goldsboro, North Carolina, when there was a knock on the door. Two men told him he had a choice between joining the U.S.

Today seemed to be a day of “Nelson” moments. There was that day-long Rogers outage: Having Rogers internet down all day meant spending the day talking with family. They seem like nice people. 🤣 — KNugent4118🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 (@knugent4118) July 8, 2022 I can’t grasp the scale of how bad this

“Trump was at the center of this conspiracy,” Chairman Thompson said in his opening remarks at the first public Jan. 6 hearing. https://t.co/8gqmTtTpTW pic.twitter.com/8SFan1xZNA — MSNBC (@MSNBC) June 10, 2022 There’s no question Trump’s insurrection attempt on January 6th, 2021, was a coup that failed. Rep. Liz Cheney, Republican of

The Republican Party didn’t become disgusting when Trump came to power, it’s been terrible for over 20 years. How can you tell? W Bush just confessed to knowing the Iraq War was wrong, during one of his infamous public speaking gaffes. Obama’s Democrats letting him skate away from responsibility for

In 1644, the English poet and pamphleteer John Milton wrote an impassioned defence of free speech (or, more factually, against censorship of print and in favour of restriction-free publication) called the Areopagitica. It was subtitled A speech of Mr. John Milton for the Liberty of Unlicenc’d Printing, to the Parlament

The clearest, most concise statement about the alt-right protests and demonstrations comes from Mark Carney, former governor of both the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada. This protest was never about freedom: it was always about pushing a virulently rightwing agenda, endorsed by the treasonous Donald Trump, to

The Insurrection Index launches today to defend democracy in the United States from internal attacks on democratic institutions. The focus of the initiative is clearly in response to, and all about, the failed coup and insurrection attempt that happened on this day last year. Multiple organizations joined together to create
Continue readingScripturient: A Conspiracy So Immense
It’s a common theme in today’s political analysis to argue that Donald Trump broke America. Looking at the ongoing dumpster fire that is the Repugnican Party, the rise of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, anti-science, pro-disease, misogynist, pseudo-religious, and anti-justice groups into the centre of the party’s power seems clear evidence of

(Written before the 2020 US election, this short piece still sums up the situation in American politics very well.) Trump is no fairy tale prince, and nor am I a supporter of the big orange buffoon; but we need to be honest about things: he’s up against the army of

Originally published on the Three Way Fight blog on January 21, 2021. Introduction—An analysis for this moment I finished the manuscript of Insurgent Supremacists: The U.S. Far Right’s Challenge to State and Empire in September 2017, a few weeks following the murderous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Now,

Seth’s team figured it would be a joke if they suggested Trump would brazenly take things out of the White House, but it appeared to happen the same day, which they note in the video.

The world is watching, but the world also needs to react to what’s happened in Washington, DC the last few days. Pence must move forward with the 25th Amendment and remove Donald Trump as President.

It took almost 2 days following the attack on the US Capital by GOP terrorists, but Twitter banned the ring leader Trump from their platform, after first only giving a 12 hour suspension. After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have

Donald Trump was, is and will always be seen as a product of a country without leadership.

1. When Donald Trump was first running for president in 2015-16, a lot of alt-rightists supported him not because they thought he could win, but because they hoped he would help destroy the Republican Party. He hasn’t quite done that, but he has created a serious crisis within the party,

This short essay was written in September, before the election, but the analysis still holds, and the points made are still relevant, and in fact, extremely important to understand. The only thing I would add now, in December, is that revolution is overdue. * In the USSA Presidential Reality Show

“[They] are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. They use every opportunity to impugn democracy… Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to
