“I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against” a tyrannical king.
I hereby retire from satire.”
So, my anti-war mentor from 1990 just died. He paid attention to words. He was a words person, not a politics or relational person. His name is Richard Hays. Look up his writing, especially against war.

One of the features of this economic system is that human beings who want to have a job doing something genuinely good — or at least not bad — for people and other Earthlings, instead have to choose between jobs doing bad. This is a demoralizing economy.

I want young people to have safe spaces in which they can say strange things about what they think about their bodies and other people's bodies, but I don't want people like the young person in the red hat deciding what kids should be taught in Tennessee. @BillLeeTN, stand down.
Dear MAGA,
I know many of you are upset at Trump's pro-war picks. You expected him to be anti-war. I hate to tell you but your favorite 'independent media' hosts were lying to you the entire time. Here's Trump's 1st term foreign policy:
- increased drone strikes 432%
- 2,243 drone strikes in his first 2 years alone (more than 8 years of Obama)
- kept us in Iraq
- kept us in Afghanistan
- 330% increase in civilian deaths in Afghanistan
- bombed Syria twice
- bombed somalia
- occupied a third of Syria to “take the oil”
- Increased the military budget every year
- let Israel illegally annex the Golan heights (which is Syrian)
- assassinated a top Iranian commander who was fighting ISIS
- tried to coup Venezuela
- ripped up the Iran agreement
- armed Saudi Arabia as they did a genocide in Yemen and vetoed a bill to cut off the weapons
- dropped the 'mother of all bombs' on Afghanistan
- hired John Bolton, Mike Pompeo & Gina Haspel (all insane neocon warmongers) and let them run his foreign policy
- Pardoned black water war criminals
- signed pro-torture executive order
- his first military raid as president killed a little American girl
I haven't even included in this list what he SAYS he wants in his 2nd term (war with Mexico, allow Israel to annex the West Bank). Stop listening to scam artists who don't know the first thing about policy and only care about vibes.
With love,
a guy who gives a shit about policy
The cost of eggs is higher because Kroger, Costco, Albertsons, Target, and Walmart raised prices.
These five corporations have reported over $29 billion in profits.
Trump wants to give them a $1.7 billion yearly tax break.
Yes, really.
