Exactly. This is ridiculous.

If France can do it we can do it.

I have had thoughts like this for over 30 years. Not always, but often. Certainly now. You want to make sense of things, find a logic that will explain what you see....

The way top Democrats are acting is not and has never been the way people would act if they think their opponent is an existential threat to democracy and that beating him is the most important political priority.

During his inaugural address, the new president of the United States was refreshingly open about the fact that Washington is the hub of a continuously expanding empire which is ruled by billionaire plutocrats. As Joe Lauria highlighted for Consortium News, President Trump’s

Richard Manuel died on this day in 1986. The darkness of his struggle was real, but it need not blot out the light. We all die. We all have problems. What we all do not have—indeed, what almost no one has—is the ability to summon beauty like this
