I care about violence in America.

I care about violent rhetoric and political forces shredding my daughter's rights.

I care about violence against women and LGBTQ+ on college campuses nationwide

I care about violent threats targeting voting facilities in low income and rural areas.

#OHIO make sure you vote early if you're able, check with your Board of Elections for hours. Most hold business hrs M-F.

Don't forget to spend a few minutes researching your local races. #VoteBlue

This week we tell the comeback story of Fluffy the Fish and discuss how gerrymandering and government shutdowns don't help solve problems, they probably make things worse.

Pop Quiz!

Every American should know the basics of our Founding, don’t you agree?

The history, and the Constitution itself?

Well, to make sure you know it, and as part of my virtual Democracy Academy, let me give you a quick pop quiz.

I argue some are doing their worst which is pretty fucking sad and pathetic.

You know the assignment 👍

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?
