Politics. In Honor of a Leader on the Day of His Birth. 01-18-2021
Usually, when people want the country to sing kumbaya, ignore trespasses and injustice, and not hold racist White folks accountable, they pull a random quote from Martin Luther King Jr. and weaponize his words for their convenience, much like oppressors … Continue reading

Politics. The Age of Assholism. 11-8-2020
Many people are walking around on Twitter and Sunday morning talking-head shows, proclaiming that the reason why the race was so close, and that 67 million Americans voted for a known liar, alleged con-artist and rapist, and person largely responsible … Continue reading

Politics. Taking down Statues is a beginning. 4-12-2020.
There will be quite a lot of people upset by this decision – mostly racists who tend to say they aren’t racist. They claim to only be honoring their heritage (of defending slavery), and that the statues were commemorating participants … Continue reading

Politics. Nobody Listens to Cassandra. 04.02.2020
It must be horrible to be Senator Warren. She instigates the Obama administration into establishing an agency to protect consumers from predatory lending practices, and an advocate for the banks and Wall Street undermined her efforts. A bunch of … Continue reading

Politics. The Trap of the Feel Good Story. 03.26.2020
I love that people are stepping up and innovating solutions, and I admire that in people. This is humanity at its best and most generous. I am infuriated that we had and have multiple opportunities to be proactive about this … Continue reading

Politics. Employment. A Tiny Grain of Sand. 1.19.2020
Sometimes you have to work for people who are less than honorable to keep the lights on. Sometimes integrity is a luxury that people with resources can afford, and the rest of us wish we could. But for those of … Continue reading
Politics. Guns. Another weekend, and two more mass shootings in the US, and counting. 08-04-19.
Do you know who can stop mass shootings? Gun manufacturers and the GOP, but they won’t. Stopping production won’t get the existing guns off the streets. Sure, its legal to make them. Lots of things are … Continue reading
Politics. The Unsurprising Racism of Reagan. 08.03.19
“Go Set A Watchman” was a better book in my opinion than “To Kill A Mockingbird” “Go Set A Watchman” was the un-cropped picture, with all the flaws, with racism intact. “To Kill A Mockingbird” was the cropped version … Continue reading
