Protest is Patriotic-Let’s Reclaim the American Spirit of Peaceful Dissent by Mark M. Bello Patriotic Americans across the nation gathered this weekend for a “No Kings” Rally — a peaceful demonstration against Donald Trump’s increasingly draconian policies and dictatorial tendencies. Their message was simple: America was founded on freedom, not fear. And yet, instead of […]
Donald Trump and the Broken Oath of Office by Mark M. Bello The Oath “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” — Article II, Section […]
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.

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. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the […]
By C J Waldron To deflect from their many illegal activities, the Trump administration has been sowing chaos by creating multiple crises, all of their own making. Don’t like the jobs numbers? Fire the person who reported them. Trying to hide what’s in the Epstein files? Declare a “war from within” to attack your own […]
