Journalists are becoming like Republicans writing mea culpas after they are out the door of power. They rediscover their souls upon exit. When they are no longer trying to keep favor from those they cover for access and prestige. No longer trying to appeal to the 1% owners and editor lackeys.

Trying to be less about what I am against, and more about what I am for. More about fighting for a better world than just against a worse one. But in this world, that is so hard.

Republicans supporting Trump are fascists engaged in a fascist enterprise of their own doing. They aren't cowering but in cahoots. This is their project and their responsibility.They are cruel and vicious people engaged in a program of evil. Dems need to stop thinking there is decency lying in wait.

The only bad thing about bad JB Pritzker is that he is a billionaire, and that it came from inherited wealth. 13 Pritzker billionaires on inheritance is more than the world needs.
Now if I had to choose one we might need JB Pritzker is probably that one. I admire the man, but I not as a billionaire

Our corporate media doesn't make the consumer of news the buyer. It makes the buyer of ads the buyer, and the ownership using it as a mouthpiece for propaganda to protect their other businesses
This is not a free press that challenges authority, but one in collusion with it. It is all about silence

Nazi Pushing Radio. NPR brought this on themselves. I am sorry for a lot of people, but the leopard ate your face.
We need facts over bothsiderism. We need compassion and empathy of walking in each other's shoes more than we need discussions validating who goes in "first they came for"
Not NPR.

We are all tired of Michael Bennet's thoughts and prayers to Donald Trump and the GOP.

Jason Crow being proud to be a Democrat right now, is like Dick Monfort being proud owner of the Colorado Rockies. You haven't earned that pride. That is hubris of someone who doesn't stand for the people, but loves the corporate donor and is just proud of still selling tickets.

How about not supporting Genocide as a starter? How about standing up for all Americans who aren't engaged in the cruelty of hurting other people? How about treating suburban areas like a place that isn't a flyover between urban and rural? You know most of your own district.

This Supreme Court has intentionally knocked down the Constitution and the laws of America with "doctrines" whose "logic" those who created those laws would not see a true. This is a court that ignores the words, ignores the precedent, and declares night is day and day is night. It is corrupt.
