Health is inextricably linked with politics. Democracy requires participation. Not playing Russian Roulette with Covid. Opinions my own. #LongCovid

Transpose this 1970 campaign speech by antisemitic white supremacist Asa Carter into the voice of JD Vance or Elon Musk or Matt Walsh and tell me if you could tell the difference.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

I find it abhorrent when Americans only focus on American lives lost. Over 100 schoolgirls were killed when a missile hit their school in southern Iran.

The entire premise of America is that all people are created equal. When we ignore that key tenet, Americans lose all moral standing.

Screenshot from NPR article: Hegseth made the announcement in a video posted to X, framing it as an ultimatum to Scouting to conform to the Trump administration's anti-DEI agenda. He detailed his many criticisms of the group, saying Scouts had "lost their way" by changing the organization's name and "watering down" what he called "the focus on God as the ruler of the universe."

We need to have a serious conversation about how deranged Hegseth and the rest of this administration are.

Demanding that the Scouts β€œfocus on God as the ruler of the universe” is not compatible with democracy or freedom of religion.

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US.

His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism.
And he failed.

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated)

Modern tyranny is terror management.
I wrote this essay in April 2025 and updated it in November. I'm posting it again now because my fear of this scenario has continued to grow.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

The Nazis committed so many war crimes that they warned the German people that retribution would be severe if Germany lost the war. There was even a joke, β€œEnjoy the war while you can, because the peace will be terrible!"

We are going to find ourselves in the same situation if we let this go on.

This is how Germans destroyed their country and forced future generations to grapple with an inheritance of intense shame.

Soldiers killing people in an illegal and blatantly unconstitutional war should not be supported. They are cowardly murderers who betrayed their oath to their countrymen.

Left: Republican Rep. Cory Mills in 2023 was for Congressional consent for armed conflict.

Right: Today Cory Mills is praising Donald Trump for striking Iran without it, and also turned off comments so nobody could point this out.

If Trump can declare war without congressional authorization, then Congress has effectively disbanded itself.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
