Breathe, but not too heavy. Look, but do not appear guilty. Speak, but never answer back. These are the constant reminders of being Black In America. After playing three games in the hot southern heat, all the Delaware State women’s lacrosse team wanted to do was make it back to Delaware with ease. However, things went left when they got pulled over by Georgia State police.
On April 20 at 10:31am, Tim Jones, black bus driver, was stopped by Georgia State police. The officers claimed it was a traffic violation because buses are not permitted to drive in the left lane. The cops came on the bus to inform the students that they would be checking their luggage for any possible narcotics, such as marijuana, heroin, methane, and ketamine.

Song of the Day 5/7: Dave Alvin, “Plastic Rose”
When Dave Alvin released his second solo album, “Blue Blvd,” in 1991, the Washington Post reviewer complimented it by saying the songs were like Raymond Carver stories. Alvin once told an interviewer that because he never became a star, he didn’t travel in a plane or tour bus, so he was free to observe the […]

Abortion Should Be Easy for Democrats
“We believe in a right to privacy”. That’s it. Of course I’m not a highly paid DC consultant, so I can’t grasp the virtues on trying to run on some Solomonic compromise with fanatics. Big brain DC types like Coons probably have a good reason for “Why not abort half the baby?” is a good […]

Support Bush’s “Abortion Providers Protection Act”
Laws that create special classes (where crimes against them get additional punishments) are mostly bullshit virtue signaling – as in “WhAt? yUo d0nT zuPp0rt tHe p0LICE!?!?!” I mean if you support cops, get them de-escalation training. If you support teachers, fucking pay them.
But this special class bill that El Som covered by HB 234 and mentioned by El Som (here) strikes me as different. Here he have a class that will actually need protection in the post Roe V Wade world. If you attack someone working in women’s reproductive health care, you should have the book thrown you.
If Democracy Is Dying, It’s From Neglect
Sure, Republicans are trying to kill democracy. The question is why they’re bothering. Consider Ohio where, if you read the news accounts, the big story is J.D. Vance’s comeback win in his Ohio primary, supposedly on the back of a Trump endorsement. This narrative is bullshit. Yes, it’s true, but it misses the big picture. […]
Song of the Day 5/4: Graham Parker, “You Can’t Be Too Strong”
A lot of critics think this song, whose lyrics provided the title for Graham Parker’s 1979 album “Squeezing Out Sparks,” is the best he ever wrote. But if you ever need an example of confirmation bias in action, consider how many people think this is an anti-abortion song. Parker has gotten pushback about the song […]
America Divided!!! Yeah, That’s Bullshit
Abortion is a classic example of an issue where the Democratic position enjoys large majorities, and yet the media always elevates the radical Republican position to give it equal stature with the widely popular position. I guess, in a battle between telling the truth and lying, it gets more click and eyeballs to constantly lie. […]

Star Wars Day – May the 4th be With You. …to anyone who celebrates it. Its Trump’s Party Trump’s pick in the the highest profile race of the day, the Ohio Senate GOP primary, (JD Vance) won the nomination largely due to Trump’s endorsement power. Trump did not endorse in the Ohio governor’s race, where Republican […]

A woman shouldn’t be able to unilaterally deny a rapist the blessing of fatherhood. Right?
Why is Joe Biden forcing Putin to kill Ukrainian civilians?
If you watch Tucker Carlson you may be aware of Biden’s diabolical plan to force Putin into a war in Ukraine in order to punish him for “stealing Hillary Clinton’s coronation.” TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): We know the war in Ukraine is not about saving democracy. Please. We know it’s not about protecting the sacred borders […]

This obliterates all other news. I don’t have much to say about it other than to point out that some argued that the court wouldn’t do this because it would risk “stirring up” Dem voters. Those people are idiots. It is the Democrats who don’t act for fear of “stirring up” Republican voters.
Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.
The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey– that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes
Psssst…. ALL REPUBLICANS ARE TRUMP REPUBLICANS
High up on the long list of things that I don’t get is – why Delaware Democrats allow Delaware Republicans to run away from Trump, run away from McConnell and run way from basic GOP policies.
