Women are not someone's appendages, but independent, autonomous, and soulful beings.
Support women's rights. Women should not be disrespected. Liberalism and democracy win.

The National Guard Deployment in LA Is a Threat to Democracy
The law permits such action by the president only in cases of invasion, rebellion, or danger of a rebellion. This is none of those.

Trump, who models himself on John Gotti, doesn’t want anyone to think he’s a chicken. Fasten your seat belts in the wake of the TACO dustup. My column today:

This TACO Gives Trump Indigestion, So Watch Out
The acronym — Trump Always Chickens Out — bruises the president’s ego and invites a chaotic response, mostly because it’s on the money.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.
