I think we're all hoping that our democratic senators and representatives will step up their game and get ahead of the curve balls being thrown at them by #MAGA
Hey elected Democrats, there's a coup in progress.

Engineered ignorance; there is a reason that red states spend so little on education and healthcare—educated constituents will not vote for them. They want ignorance and illness.
Just look at the map; the higher the avg education level, the bluer the vote.
Identify the enemy. End the oligarchy.

My new piece for the New York Times, where I make the case that we need a lot more education to deal with disinformation, not more censorship and fact checks

I teach the religious and spiritual practices of the slaves, unfree, and marginalized. Spiritual and political practices were always bound together. They prayed for freedom, on one hand, and used prayers, conjure, the ancestors, magic, and otherwise in their fight for abolition, on the other.

BREAKING: A Wyoming judge has ruled that the state's total abortion ban and medication abortion ban, which she had already blocked temporarily, are unconstitutional. Abortion will remain legal for now, but this is almost certain to be appealed to the WY Supreme Court.
