A Quick Clarity and Reality Check on “Women’s Sports”
Let’s cut right to the truth: MAGA’s scaremongering about trans women in women’s sports is another shiny object that does not require a big-government “remedy.” It’s just another MAGA way of persecuting a small, vulnerable minority while hiding behind a marquee of superficial “reasonableness.” It is competitive sports itself, not government, that identifies and addresses

There is a post circulating on social media that is useful but copies of it have broken links. I have fixed the links. A real question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are st*pid?’ THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:

MAGA Has No Defense Against This Kind of Attack
(Or, How to Immunize Your Children against Trumpism Through Good Parenting) Think you can stop MAGA in its tracks by pointing out their self-contradictions? Guess again. Think that blasting their latest outrageous lies on social media will make a dent? Forget it. MAGA takes it as a compliment. And never mind generating stupid memes. Memes

That “Prove Your Citizenship to Vote” Thang: Typical MAGA Witlessness or a Theocratic Shot at Women’s Voting Rights?
In MAGA’s highest echelons of Talibanesque theocratic thought, there is a concept known as “The Doctrine of Federal Representation.” Hold that thought, and don’t get mad at your MAGA associates, peers or friends for never even having heard of it. MAGA’s ivory towers arent about to go around publicizing that concept, until it’s already too

How to Stand Up to Hate in Your Community
To stand up to hate in our community, or anywhere else, we must be as hard as granite: an impenetrable stone wall of opposition. Don’t ever give hate an inch or it will take a mile. Hate will look for ways to use your goodness against you. Hate will look for ways to use your

When Bad Things Happen, Remember Who
When the topic is the surge in racism and discrimination, remind everyone who made racism “acceptable” again. When the topic is bullying in schools, remind everyone who made bullying popular again. When the topic is the lack of respect for others in today’s society, remind everyone who made disrespect for others a sign of being

Dear “MAGA Indians”: Welcome to the Reality of what MAGA Thinks About You
I was stunned, and in fact in denial for a while, over just how many pro-fascist Indians are out there. By Indians, I don’t mean Native Americans or First Nations. I mean people from India. It’s safe to say that there are 100 times more pro-fascism Indians in this country than most people realize. I

What if Project 2025 was the Cuban Missile Crisis
If Project 2025 was the Cuban Missile Crisis, would Republicans deny that it is even a threat? The stock deflection tactic that’s being launched at Democrats and civil libertarians goes something like this: “What makes you think that Trump would implement Project 2025? He never said he would. He denies even knowing about it!” Trump

MAGA: Sixty Years of Bottled-Up Rage and Hate
It may seem hyperbolic to say that what MAGA has in store for us would be three times more evil and brutal than the Nazi Holocaust. But when you consider how long the pressure of right wing hate has been building up for decades with no way to release it, the prediction begins to sound

MAGA and Hitler Methods Bonus: Through the Eyes of Holocaust Survivors
Flying across the news cycle – an even occasionally garnering a momentary, fleeting mention in the complicit mainstream news media, is the rumor that Donald Trump wishes that he had Hitler’s generals. Context would certainly help, and Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic provides it in this interview with NPR: “Obviously, we know that he has

MAGA Undermined Parental Rights by Packing the Courts with Anti-Liberty Judges
In MAGA’s quest to assert the “parental right” to put other people’s children in danger, they have begun claiming that parental rights are fundamental rights protected by the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That was actually true — during the heyday of the liberal Supreme Court. In their Parental Rights Toolkit, the Alliance

Quick Take: MAGA Hates Lady Liberty
We all know that MAGA hates freedom with a passion, but it’s uncommon for them to attack an icon of American liberty itself. But this cutthroat MAGA tyrant tells all: It is no accident that these goddess of liberty (queen of heaven) statues proliferated when they did in the 1800s. It was associated with official proclamation

Here’s what the self-proclaimed “parental rights” people really think about parental rights:
MAGA-aligned groups, such as the listed hate group Moms For Tyranny Liberty, have been pushing for the adoption of “parental rights” policies in public schools. The hate group claims to support “family autonomy“: “We attend local school board meetings, meet with local politicians and political committees to ensure that our voices are being heard. We

When It Starts To Look Like a Real Threat to Public Safety
In law, a mitigating circumstance is a factor that tends to lessen the severity of a crime or its punishment by making the defendant’s conduct understandable or less blameworthy. Legal.com defines a mitigating circumstance as “any information or factors presented during a legal proceeding that, while not excusing or justifying a criminal act, may reduce

The Culture Wars are not a Distraction. They are MAGA’s sole mission and purpose.
The capacity of Americans to deny reality is unsurpassed. The right wing is routinely accused of living in a world that is completely separated from reality, and that part is true in many ways. But the Left is just as adept and committed to denying reality, furiously doing that cowardly thing of legend that ostriches

Virtually Absolute Proof that there is no “Widespread Voter Fraud,” contrary to MAGA lies
(Or, How Many Ways Does MAGA Try To Steal Elections? Let Me Count The Ways.) If voter fraud were easy enough to commit en masse to alter the outcome of an election, MAGA would already be committing it themselves. And I can pretty much prove it with inductive logic. Inductive logic is logic that reaches

Project 2025 Deep Dive 2: A Supercharged Federal Government
They say that they want to shrink the federal government, but we all know that’s a bloody lie. Project 2025 proves it. It also proves that the scheme to tear down the Constitution, the “Convention of States,” is marketing itself on a big fat lie. Convention of States claims to oppose an “overreaching federal government,”

Project 2025 Deep Dive 1: Dehumanization of the LGBTQ+ Community
A reader asked me a couple months ago if I would dig deep into Project 2025 and expose what’s in there. I put it in my to-do stack of drafts. This is the first installment. To be fair, there are some good ideas in the sections that I analyze below. I see nothing wrong with
