A brief story about de-escalation

It’s a small town outside of Fallujah, at the height of the Iraq War. A rifle battalion commander and his men are outfitted in battle dress. A crowd of Iraqis approach these men, very upset, with a whole lot of riot potential. An exceptionally dangerous situation. After months of unjustified an…

John, My name is Alex Vindman, and I wanted you to hear directly from me: I am running for the United States Senate in Florida. I’ll explain more about why I chose to run, but if you already know the stakes of this race — and are fired up to defeat Donald Trump’s top ally in the Senate …

Alex Pretti

Alex Pretti was a VA nurse. Someone who devoted his life to helping veterans. Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis yesterday. After the shooting, members of the Trump administration smeared his name. Stephen Miller called him a "would-be assassin" who "tried to murd…

Patriotism

There is nothing more patriotic than speaking out against abuses of power. One year ago today, Donald Trump swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Here is the truth: Donald Trump's weaponization of government against his political opponents is a direct attac…

$1776 of bullsh*t
