Four years ago today. Never forget. Trump and the Republicans will try to gaslight you about what happened. I know it is terrifying that he’s been re-elected, but the least we can do is hold onto the truth. This was an attempted coup, an insurrection, and all their lies can’t change that. The incoming administration is going to be one of the most corrupt in history. Pay attention!

This article from Politico shows it clearly, reporting on a time Trump said exactly that to world leaders while he was President. Trump vowed he’d ‘never’ help Europe if it’s attacked, top EU official says ‘By the way NATO is dead,’ the former (and potential future) US president added in private meeting. BRUSSELS — One of Europe’s most senior politicians recounted how former U.S. President Donald Trump privately warned that America would not come to the EU’s … Continue reading →
If you’re not familiar with Pod Save the World from Crooked Media, it is where Tommy Vietor and Ben Rhodes, both of whom worked in the Obama administration, discuss world politics and all sorts of other affairs. It’s consistently interesting and informative, one of my favorite podcasts and I recommend it to you without reservation. Embedded below is the episode from January 10, 2024. If I’ve done this right it’s cued up to 51:35, towards the end of a discussion of Russia’s war on Ukraine, and the fact that North Korea is currently supplying Russia with a lot of heavy … Continue reading →

Continue reading →I am so glad to see that Jack Smith has finally brought forth his charges against Donald Trump in the matter of the Jan. 6th insurrection. Now we will see whether our system can still serve justice to a powerful, wealthy, well-connected man, when that man has committed clear and monstrous crimes. The full text of the indictments can be found here (.PDF file). It’s very much worth your time to read, as it lays out in explicit detail exactly how Trump and those around him conspired to steal the Presidential election in several different ways, invalidating the 81 million … Continue reading →
Be careful out there. The threat of violence continues to escalate, as we always feared it would. And Trump’s indictment (gift link) is going to ramp up their fear and anger to a ever-more-fevered pitch. ‘We Need to Start Killing’: Trump’s Far-Right Supporters Are Threatening Civil War Within minutes of Trump’s indictment, supporters lit up social media platforms with violent threats and calls for civil war. In what is becoming a now all-too-familiar trend, former President Donald Trump’s far-right supporters have threatened civil war after news broke Thursday that the former president was indicted for allegedly taking classified documents from … Continue reading →
…towards creating the theocratic country conservatives long for. (gift link, no paywall) Wyoming’s GOP governor signs law banning abortion pills Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) late Friday signed into law a ban on abortion pills, as the state adopted what appears to be the nation’s first such state law. The new law says that it will be “unlawful to prescribe, dispense, distribute, sell or use any drug for the purpose of procuring or performing an abortion.” The law includes penalties of up to six months’ imprisonment and a fine of up to $9,000. But it exempts people who take abortion … Continue reading →

Not one state has a majority wishing to overturn Roe.Not. One. State. https://t.co/dJWoMs3lWu — John Steiner (@JohnSteiner32) February 23, 2023
Continue reading →I’ve pulled together many more articles on the fight over abortion rights as it continues here in the States. Some are quite positive from a pro-choice point of view, as states set themselves up to be abortion sanctuaries. Some showcase the continuing efforts to further force all states to comply with the forced-birth agenda of anti-choice activists. As I have pointed out before, anti-choice activists continue to look for ways to restrict access to abortion pills in particular, since most abortions these days are medication abortions. Since the postal service is federal, there is no easy way to keep pills … Continue reading →
