A judge in Delaware has upheld a law allowing corporations (and other "artificial persons") to vote in municipal elections. FIRST OF ALL: this is not a NEW law, it's been in the charter since 2008. I'm seeing a lot of headlines misconstruing that this judge made this new ruling and now all of the sudden corporations can vote. This has BEEN the law. And corporations have had more rights than you for literally hundreds of years. Stra...
Tensions outside the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in Newark, New Jersey boiled over this weekend, with Senator Andy Kim attempting to intervene and de-escalate and instead getting hit with pepper spray by DHS agents. The conditions inside Delaney Hall are so bad that 300 detainees are currently participating in a hunger strike. This is all part of the larger fascist plan to dehumanize immigrants so we all look the other ...

Economic unrest, social inequalities, a frivolous king. How closely is present-day US mirroring the French Revolution? Here’s a quick comparative primer, because somehow talking about guillotines is more appealing to me right now than talking about today’s headlines.

On an earnings call last week Steve Roth, CEO of Vernado, likened the phrase "Tax the Rich" to a racial slur. That same week, protests of the Met Gala and the Manhattan Institute gala had protestors facing off with billionaires in black tie attire. They know we're angry, and they're terrified. Paying more in taxes is the least they could do.

It doesn't seem possible that it could get worse, but after the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision last week, the race to the bottom has started. Every state in the union is now considering its options for gerrymandering the other party out of existence, to the detriment of all of us and of democracy.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, effectively gutting section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the last provision that held much water in the groundbreaking legislation that marked the crowning achievement of the civil rights era. What happens now that the floodgates have effectively been opened on racial gerrymandering?

Within minutes of the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting this weekend, rumors began swirling online that the whole thing was a hoax in order to sell the public on Trump’s ballroom. While distrusting the Trump administration is absolutely valid, it may be that this is simply another example of the Trump regime’s talent at using major events as a means to spin whatever of their agenda is top of mind at any moment. So was it a...
The alleged arsonist of the Kimberly Clark facility in Ontario, California, Chamel Abdulkarim, could face up to 20 years in federal prison for his alleged crimes. He reportedly compared himself to Luigi Magione and stated, "All you had to do was pay us enough to live." The federal government will likely slap him with a domestic terrorist label. Property destruction is one of the most controversial forms of protest in the United Sta...

Democrats this week piled on Michigan senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed more urgently than they responded to any of the other horrors happening in government. Why? Because he dared to stump with leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. Today we're discussing what the Democratic establishment's backlash against Hasan Piker tells us about Israel, AIPAC, and the state of democracy in the United States.

This week, Trump threatened genocide against the country of Iran and, in doing so, terrorized the entire world. But the hard truth is that to get him out of office or hold him to account, via the 25th Amendment, impeachment, or otherwise, is next to impossible.

Last week in Villarreal v. Alaniz, the Supreme Court declined to uphold a journalist's free speech rights after she was arrested for asking questions of local officials. Yesterday, Trump threatened to put a journalist in jail who had published information about a US airman in Iran. At the Pentagon, a few far right nut jobs are all that's left of the Pentagon press corps. The Trump regime will continue criminalizing journalists beca...
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention issued its third red flag alert for anti-trans genocide in the US last month. With each passing week, new ever-more draconian legislation is introduced in states across the country as the federal government attempts to scapegoat the trans community for all the ills of society. And we can't look away from the injustice. Huge shout out to Aleksandra Vaca over at Transitics for their great ...
Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about Trump’s Executive Order attempting to rewrite the Constitution and 150 years of Supreme Court precedent. The outcome SHOULD be obvious (this is unconstitutional) but, alas, with this Supreme Court it is not. Here’s the breakdown you need to know.
