- Loved Tad Stoermer interview
Thought-provoking, great questions, amazing job of listening. Two points missed in this discussion: 1) The No Kings organizers are doing a whole heck of a lot more than just these once-every-few-months protests, which are growing steadily with time; and 2) People are already being shot by ICE bounty hunters, and many more have been completely disappeared, including children. It is absolutely beyond my understanding that no one has shot back yet. Great discussion, you’re doing great work. Thank y... more

Patriotism isn’t a passive action. It isn’t a comfortable thing to be a true believer in today’s moral vacuum with the right wing sucking the air out of the room. There needs to be more action now, because it’s too late for yesterday. They can all go blow Bubbas.

Kris Goldsmith is relentless in exposing people with nefarious intent no matter where they are. I feel safer knowing that he and his colleagues are at work.
Apple Podcasts5CaroldamomUnited States2 months ago - Mirror Test is Best
I like many Americans have been wringing our hands and pulling out our own hair watching the Autocratic takeover of our government by a minority of extreme white nationalists and have been equally as bewildered by the inept, incapable, and incompetent response by our opposition parties and checks and balances. It’s as if reality were a myth. We cannot mount a true offensive to reclaim our democracy if we continue to be led down the myth of Founders Mythology that has deluded our national conscio... more
