New in PN: The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter intimidation
"If Hispanic voters are no longer in the GOP fold after watching Trump’s ceaseless, country-wide violence against immigrants, the administration’s solution is to make sure they can’t cast a ballot."

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

The numbers I am seeing, and the breadth of people and places with basically no arrests and so forth, seem to me an unqualified political loss for them. It is a show of strength rather than the fight itself, but you can’t downplay it.

I’m from the Portland area. We like our coffee pretentious and pretend our beer is not. We’ll line up for hours to get a chance to feed carrots to the local therapy llamas and once made a roll of old airport carpet the grand marshal of our yearly rose parade. So, like, yeah—totally “War-ravaged.”

Twenty years after the comedy went silent, Russia is a sadistic, warmongering fascist regime run by a mad centibillionaire. That’s a future that could be ours — whole argument of "Road to Unfreedom" — but also one we can stop — see "On Tyranny" and "On Freedom."
