“Pro-Life Religious Right” Remained Silent & Let the Babies Suffer. We Won't Ever Forget.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand—someone who is devoutly religious and actually follows the Bible—called it: Trump is doing the devil’s work. His ideas are evil, “from darkness,” and rooted in hate. Trump is a monster. Coincidentally, in 2016, right before the election, the Brookings survey found that white evangelicals completely flipped on “personal immorality.” When I read...

Mich Republican grovels before his puppetmasters w/ resolution creating “Corporate Citizenship Day”

Cross-posted from Eclectablog. It’s no secret that Michigan Republicans are deeply in the pocket of corporations in our state. One of their first orders of business after taking control of our state government in 2010 was to pass a massive tax cut for corporations paid for by raising the taxes...
