Resegregation, Coups, Orwell, and the Importance of Precise Language Karen Attiah wrote a short opinion piece about how the nationwide assault on diversity, equity and inclusion led by conservatives

Call your Senators and demand that they vote no on this and every other corrupt, unqualified, and unhinged nominee.

Hell Is Empty We can expect the next few years to be Springtime for Assholes, as thieves, cheats, lunatics and rapists enjoy their time in the sun.

"Much of our current disaster is a crisis of faith, a loss of belief that tomorrow can be better. While cowards retreat into an imaginary past, have the boldness to build something new."

Recreating an Ancient Roman Dinner of Death To investigate the legend of Emperor Domitian's Black Banquet, we made our own macabre feast.

With quotes like this, how could you not love this twisted tale? β€œI fear that poor old Domitian may well have had his profound intentions ruined by a cynical historian, with a strong capacity for misinterpretation.

The Poor Fish says:
I believe in the free distribution of milk to school children but the people are not ready for such a radical measure.
The Poor Fish says there is always room at the top. It all depends on character, and working over-time while the Boss is looking.
