Living through Impeachment 2: The Insurrection Special
A little over a year ago I wrote about the first impeachment of former President Donald J. Trump. Reading back over that screed now, I can’t help but see how adorably naive I was then. November of 2019 was before Covid-19 cost the US over 450,000 lives, before staying home was the safest bet, before […]

5 On It: Power to the People
So here we are, in January 2020 — an election year — staring down the barrel of our poor choices that have created a fucking mess of our country’s political leadership. What a time to be alive! We’ve got a president who is guilty of so many more nasty, potentially illegal things than abuse of […]

The Trump months thus far: A Pro-White, Anti-Democratic, Chaotic Zeitgeist.

The next 100 days for the Trump Administration: A Wishlist
Next week, The Trump administration will reach the 100 day mark. It’s a totally arbitrary timeline, but they’re the ones that made the promise to do a bunch of stuff in the first place. I don’t feel like putting myself through the ridiculousness of rehashing the last 100 days, many people better informed than I […]

Flashbangs in the digital age
“We see these beautiful pictures at night from the decks of these two U.S. Navy vessels in the eastern Mediterranean,” [Brian] Williams said. “I am tempted to quote the great Leonard Cohen: ‘I am guided by the beauty of our weapons.’” “They are beautiful pictures of fearsome armaments making what is for them what […]
