Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:
If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

A fascinating premise for a novel, and so timely 74 years after its publication—the bias and 2nd- or 3rd-hand storytelling given as fact in history books, the persistent belief in such stories despite documented events that prove them wrong, the unjustified ruin or glorification of those targeted.
