Smug and assured, ignorant and shameless
There are many necessary responses to Matthew Kacsmaryk’s misogynist lawlessness, and Jessica Valenti’s too-hot-for-Elon visceral reaction is certainly one of them: There’s no real way to prepare for the feeling of despair that rises in your body as you’re reminded, once again, that you’re no longer a full citizen in your own country. I want to be […]

The Good Friday Massacre: Is anyone still complacent about democracy?: The highly anticipated and unprecedented ruling from Texas puts on hold the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone, which was cleared for use in the United States in 2000. It was the first time a judge suspended longtime FDA approval of a medication despite […]
Republicans Use Federal Judiciary to Enact National Abortion Ban
Heck of a job, Coons. Matthew Kacsmaryk’s decision claiming to overrule the FDA’s approval of abortion drug mifepristone—23 years late—is an appalling and indefensible abuse of power that will go down in history as one of the judiciary’s most humiliating and lawless moments. https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/myvmojgodvr/ND%20Texas%20Abortion%20Pill%20Ruling%202023-04-07.pdf… The ruling is stayed for a week, so nothing changes now.

Chris Coons would like you to know that a “free trade” deal with the UK will be great for his fellow Millionaires and Billionaires
Since the UK still has some labor protections and socialized medicine (not just for the old fuckers), I guess the US is going to play the “Mexico” in this deal. While the world is anxiously focused on the havoc being wreaked by rising interest rates and the anxiety over banks, we should note that there’s […]
Conservatives call for charges against Hunter Biden after Trump indictment
Lappy!(tm): Don’t threaten me with a good time.
While Republicans threaten to prosecute Democrats for fake crimes in retaliation for Trump being charged with real crimes – most Democrats are saying, “If you have crimes, please prosecute. That’s what is supposed to happen.”
Song of the Day 4/7: Nathalie Merchant, “Tower of Babel”
With apologies to El Somnambulo, who’s in charge of new music here, Natalie Merchant is releasing a new album, “Keep Your Courage,” next week, her first in nine years. The normally publicity-shy singer even sat for an interview with the New Yorker to mark the occasion. This song, a comment on the state of the […]

Republicans – School Shootings “rational” “worth it” & “prudent deal” to preserve 2nd Ammnt
Republicans are doubling down on being more honest about protecting guns over elementary school children: Charlie Kirk: You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. But I am – I think it’s worth it. I think it’s […]
What does Trump mean by “racist in reverse”?
When Trump says “reverse racism” he is obviously he is making a value judgement about the kind of racism he is enduring. As Trump uses it, “reverse racism” is an illegitimate perversion of the regular racism directed at African American people by white people.
Regular racism is the normative state. It is fine. We all understand and accept regular racism. We live and breath it. But when a black person attacks a white person solely for being white, well – that is shocking. That shit needs to be called out, and simply saying “racist” doesn’t cut it.
People are saying Clarence Thomas accepted these luxury vacations as “gifts” – actually he earned them

For Immediate Release
Media Contact: George D. Rotsch 302-354-5730Statement Regarding the Trump Indictment
“This is a sad day in our nation. But it should not surprise us that Alvin Bragg indicted former President Donald Trump. [This is a shocking break with MAGA orthodoxy to admit that Trump is the “former” President. tsk, tsk, Jane.] His campaign promise was to get Donald Trump. And this simply continues the practice of the Democrats using Government against the people. First the IRS, then the FBI, and now the Manhattan DA’s Office. [Lappy!(tm) would like you to repeat how politically motivated prosecutions are wrong – but with feeling this time!]
Legally, the case appears flawed, […crimes are only committed by black people in cities, Trump is white, duh!] outside the prosecutor’s jurisdiction and the statute of limitations. [Yes, we have made the switch from Fox News to Newsmax. Why do you ask?]
Politically, if it was intended to harm the former President, that has backfired; his favorability shot up, and donations are pouring in. [OMG!! YES!! Please nominate him!! HE IS AWESOME, WILL SURELY WIN NEXT TIME!! The campaign speeches that are long boring lists of grievances are certain to win over moderates and independents.]
We the People, are not stupid. [Psssst….Whenever someone claims to not be stupid, guess what..?] We recognize a political prosecution for what it is. Regrettably, this is yet another instance of the unfair application and weaponization of governmental authority.” [Well, Biden did say, “I am Your RETRIBUTION”. oh wait, that wasn’t Biden? Shoot.].
