I guess my hopes of Trumpollini ever rotting away in a prison are completely dashed now. That's Ok because my hopes are for much more profound things.

The difference between Democrats surrendering in March and fighting back now is us. We must encourage Democrats to keep holding the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

It has been a tragic journey, some have gone along with the decay willingly, and some unwittingly but regardless this is where we are at. Send the mega-rich noise dispensers packing. Chewing gum for the weak brain.

A time of reckoning is now at hand for the MAGA loyalist, will they continue to cut their own throats? We all have a front row seat at this show from hell called Fascism and all of its ugly tenacles of moral and ethical corruption.

I have my own take on this situation, the underlying aspect of why some of these older greying guys practice dastardly politics. I'd like their psychological tendencies to be called out in public.

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:
We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly
Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

Yes. The fact that our fellow citizens increasingly grasp the notion of stopping the financing of these Gone Nazi Goons is and will be a tool that kneecaps them.

Yes . But, we are plagued with a portion of our society that fails to get involved , blind and ignorant to history. A sense of fatal entitlement coupled with blaming any problems on those others as they continue to rearrange the deck chairs.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

When charlatans take power after they mercilessly bamboozle our vulnerable fellow citizens for political and monetary gain, the time and place for a revolution has sowed its seeds.

Heed this message like your life depended upon it. Rely upon experts in journalism, history, science, political science and those that are champions of truth, logic and ethics. Most of all never sell yourself short nor under-estimate the power you have as a citizen.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
