The Greatest White Privilege of Them All
Eschaton reminded me of this truth - You can't convict rich white people of crimes. That's a pretty big privilege. Even when they are stone cold guilty, wealthy white people can use the "I didn't know it was a crime" defense. You have to be simultaneously rich and white to have that defense available to you.
Only once in my lifetime has that defense failed, and that was the rich white guy preyed on underage girls. I guess it is hard to claim that you didn't know preying on underage girls is a crime with a straight face.

From a Strategy Perspective – You Really Have to Hand it to Republicans
They've perfected a system for making stuff they don't like both toxic for low info voters and frequently illegal. They take anything that seems like it contains "liberalism" (from abortion, to action on climate change, to teaching the truth that slavery was bad) and make it an "ideology" that children need to be protected from. Next up for this spy-ops treatment...being gay.
LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): When did our public schools, any schools, become what are essentially grooming centers for gender identity radicals? As a mom, I think it's appalling, it's frightening, it's disgusting, it's despicable. Florida just passed a bill to keep this type of sexual brainwashing out of schools. Democrats, though, claim the bill is bigoted, branding it as the "Don't Say Gay Bill." Well, nice try. The real controversy, though, isn't this bill. It's that schools are peddling gender ideology when our international rankings in math, science, and reading are down across the board.

What is Senator McBride Waiting For?
I mean other than waiting until after Family Leave crosses the finish line, can anybody give me a good reason why McBride shouldn't run for Governor?
It is International Women's Day - a day set aside to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, after all.

Why are young people not joining the Democratic Party?
Is it because the Democratic Party sucks ass? The centrist agenda, which is based on the primacy of the private sector and private markets and the importance of the…
It is on. Find your candidates and work your ass off.
The Highlands Bunker. Your local RD. This little blog. The Delaware Call. Network Delaware. Delaware United. WFP, and many more larger and smaller streams of progressive action in Delaware. As they join together and flow in the same direction toward Election Day they can build into a river of change. We saw that happen last time. It works but it depends on you getting your boots wet.

Dirty Liberals Slashing Joe Biden’s Tires
If you listen to Coons and members of his Toxic Centrist Caucus you will come to believe that all of Joe Biden's problems are rooted in "liberals" and "progressives" asking for too much and not being convincingly sad enough when they got no part of what they asked for.
Also this-> Bye Bye Roe V. Wade!
Huzzah for the party of sober moderation! Vote for the Democrat Party because.... uh...reasons!
