Louisiana v. Callais may decide whether Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — the law that gives minority voters a fair shot at representation — survives another conservative assault. by Mark M. Bello As I write this, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear Louisiana v. Callais and Robinson v. Callais, which will revisit […]
By C J Waldron Remember the Alamo was a battle cry used to stir Texans in their fight for independence from Mexico. Now, the Maga-verse is using Remember Charlie Kirk as a similar call to arms. Unlike Texas, those currently being called to the front lines aren’t confronting a foreign nation. Instead, they are being […]
By Mark M. Bello Let’s begin with a confession: I find it extraordinarily difficult to praise anything Donald Trump does. Maybe I’m biased. Or maybe, just maybe, I’m observant. When Trump takes a victory lap, I reflexively look for the fine print — it’s always there, buried beneath the boasting, self-promotion, and revisionist history that […]
By C J Waldron These days there is an outcry from the right against what they call “woke”. They insist that it begins in our schools and indoctrinates children with woke philosophy. They want schools to become a place that promotes their own form of patriotism, where their leadership is unquestioned and a sanitized version […]
The fight for democracy starts with defending the truth. Stay informed, speak up, and Lean to the Left. By C J Waldron “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth.

But “time” in this situation has had little impact on the actions of the crazed insomniac who lives (temporarily) at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and who has the Federal agencies, I.C.E. and Border Patrol, at his beck and call! What […]
by Mark M. Bello While I lean left, I don’t give either political party a free pass. When both sides refuse to compromise, the American people suffer. Let’s be clear — this latest government shutdown isn’t about gridlock or stubbornness on both sides. It’s a calculated political maneuver, orchestrated by Donald Trump and his MAGA […]
By Bob Gatty Donald Trump and the Republicans’ federal government shutdown is in danger of delaying, or even stopping, critical research that could save millions of lives of those suffering from cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other life-threatening diseases. Trump claims his shutdown prevents undocumented immigrants from obtaining healthcare at taxpayers’ expense. But that’s just a smokescreen […]
By C J Waldron There is so much going on with the Trump White House that it is almost too much to digest. Each day brings a dizzying flood of misinformation, disinformation and outright lies that make it hard to keep up. Every day brings enough chaos that volumes can be written about them. So, […]
