Feminist, not misogynist, much of our ills since the beginning of time are caused by the Patriarchy and the need to control. CRT may well scare the living daylights out of the Bros, but we need Critical Gender Studies as well. Over-educated a spoiled brat

Two significant anniversaries today. Eighty years ago, we bombed Hiroshima. That is history. Sixty years ago today, we passed the Voting Rights Act. That is not history, but an ongoing struggle that Trump is finally reversing

On Planet Earth, Obama Can’t Be Indicted. But We Live on Planet Trump. The attempted persecution of a former president is both a dangerous line to cross and an expression of this failed administration.

In Canada & Australia, the most left factions were sacrificed to give the center left the ability to defeat the extreme right.

Had that happened here, we wouldn’t be in this nightmare.

I guess the rest of the world learned from breathtaking folly of the “uncommitted” and Stein voters.
