In uncertain times, folks can reach for more bold solutions when the same-old no longer works. These are some of those times. The Neoliberal economic philosophy hasn’t worked for large swathes of society, and those for whom it works are already the wealthiest and most powerful among us. Through no fault of our own, the…

It actually makes sense…not the talking point, but the effort to cast Ukraine in terms of America’s culture war.

No, its not what you think. So let me get one thing clear right now. Donald Trump is a fascist who tried to steal power by subverting what’s supposed to be a mundane transfer of power from one President to another. But he’s worse than that. His entire ‘governing’ legacy is tragic story of the…

Between #defundpolice to cheering on the random vandalism against monuments and statues, the stupid-left is doing Trump’s work for him. I’m not kidding either. #defundpolice I understood the #defundpolice ‘movement’ as a cry for help. A demand to rethink policing; in fact, several pundits have described this out well and its not an unreasonable idea…
