Here’s the latest news on the recall effort in California: The effort to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has gathered over 2 million signatures — a number of signatures, if validated, that could force a measure on a ballot. The leaders of RecallGavin2020 announced this week that their effort reached over 2,060,000 signatures...
“A 22-year-old self-proclaimed member of the “Boogaloo Bois” movement pleaded guilty on Wednesday to trying to sell weapon parts to Hamas after traveling to Minneapolis amid this summer’s George Floyd protests.” What’s curious is that for these Boogaloo Bois, while domestic terrorism remained the goal, the path had that Iran-Contra...
One thing I’ll never understand until the day I die is how so many people ascribe “toughness” and “manliness” to Donald Trump. (I’ll also never quite get how someone who clearly looks more like an adobe hut than a human being could garner so much support, but hey, one thing...
So this bull shit just happened: The Michigan Supreme Court issued a split decision late Friday that ruled against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a battle over her power to extend emergency declarations used to mandate COVID-19 restrictions. The court's decision throws in to question orders issued by Whitmer related to...
From The Houston Chronicle: “This is a state that perhaps better than any other understands the costs and consequences of Donald Trump,” O’Rourke said during a pre-debate press call hosted by the Texas Democratic Party. “And it’s a state by the way — not unrelated to that — that is...
For most black people in America, we encounter three types of white people. The first are the sleepers, those who live in a somnambulant world where race relations are a nightmare that disturbs their rest. Secondly, and the most disturbing, is the woke. They listen to Cardi B, wear Authentic...
I have lived a lot of years, and I have seen a lot of injustices. The “talk” that has been so widely spoken about in the media and by black mothers and fathers is a real thing. There was a time, when it was a mitigating factor but never eliminated...
WaPo published an update to the estimation of whether Trump was more than a rhetorical trope as a fascist, or more of an actual, historical fascist. 29 more “Benitos” to go, Trump has yet to win reelection by rigged balloting and only has a fraction of the population incarcerated. Ripping children...
Uh … really bad taste, dude. x HereâÂÂs video of Scottsdale City Councilman Guy Phillips shouting “I Can't Breathe” before removing his mask at today's Anti-Mask Rally in Arizona: Mocking Eric Garner & George Floyd and many others in this moment is something I feel compelled to expose…pic.twitter.com/4drg23zWUD— Rex ChapmanðÂÂÂð¼ (@RexChapman)...
I just received this e-mail from former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. It’s the full transcript of his speech today in Philadelphia, PA: x YouTube Video “I can’t breathe.” “I can’t breathe.” George Floyd’s last words. But they didn’t die with him. They’re still being heard. They’re echoing across...
I agree: Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday condemned the “horrific killing” of George Floyd, the 46-year-old black man who died in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department earlier this week, demanding a civil rights investigation by the Department of Justice. “George Floyd’s life mattered. It mattered as...
The big names keep on coming: Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign is planning a rollout for Michelle Obama’s endorsement, although there are questions around just how public a role the enormously popular former first lady will play in his campaign. Sources tell The Hill that the Biden campaign’s early plans include...
Freshman State Represenative Charles Booker from Louisville has officially declared that he will run in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate this year against Moscow Mitch. Booker is no shrinking centrist. He’s a hard charging progressive. Booker said state Democrats have failed to topple McConnell — who was first elected...
You may have fell in love with her as she led the U.S. National Soccer Team to the World Cup and, ultimately, a tournament victory. I fell in love with her when she said this: x âÂÂIâÂÂm not going to the fucking White House.â – @mPinoe pic.twitter.com/sz1ADG2WdT— Eight by Eight...
Why can’t we trust this man? Just a week after the President may have disgusted a large part of his base, the military, by interfering with the Navy’s decision to strip Navy Seal/Petty Officer First Class, Eddie Gallagher of his Trident pin, he unexpectedly visited the troops in Afghanistan yesterday....
On May 29th the possibility of adding the names—to a deadly list that includes Eric Garner and Sandra Bland, among many others, was the addition of Dravon Ames and family. Stopped by police in a nearby parking lot after leaving a Family Dollar store, police found it necessary to body...
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is in a ton of trouble of his own making. How much? Well, apparently not enough to keep Donald Trump from making up crazy shit about him and then blasting it effervescently out his sigmoid colon to a phalanx of red-hatted troglodytes. During his latest Hitler boof...
Look,I have no problem with rich people being full of shit. In fact, when you look at it generally, rich people being full of shit almost seems baked into the cake. People notice and listen to you because you’re rich, whether you’re full of shit or not. The ultimate example...
Trump got a beating in November, and we have a responsibility to keep the pain going. There’s a few special elections coming up that need some attention: North Carolina House District 9 — Dan McCready Dan McCready This is our best chance. Although GOP “clergyman” Mark Harris led Dan McCready by...

CRASH!!! Ohhh, sorry about that. I didn’t mean to knock over that china cabinet, but you looked so funny, laying there on the sofa with your eyes closed, moaning and rubbing your temples, that I accidentally fell against it laughing. I’ve never been one to celebrate New Years Eve. If I’m going...
OK, this is just getting ridiculous. I’m not even going to say “I’m old enough to remember” because this didn’t happen all that fucking long ago! Many of you can remember when “Black Friday” meant that people lined up for stores opening up at 6 am on the day after...
MJ Hegar is running against (R) John Carter if Texas’s 31st congressional district, just north of Austin. Carter ran his mouth. I think MJ’s response is gonna garner her some votes: x Democratic House candidate MJ Hegar from Texas responded to her Republican opponent comparing her campaign to a war with...
This is a bit concerning, because if Donald Trump can’t garner attention through his usual racism, sexism, xenophobia, and dithering dipshittery, who knows what he’ll do next? At this rate, he appears to be about six months away from going on stage and beating war orphans to death with a sock...
Clearly feeling the heat of polls showing Democrat Rep. Beto O’Rourke within single digits of taking his Senate seat, Ted Cruz released an ad yesterday in which he awkwardly manhandles folks of color…though whether this will garner him more minority votes than it subtracts from his Trump loving racist base is up...
Well, well, well, isn't this special? Axios is reporting that GOP Ohio Representative, and all around piece of work Jim Jordan has sent a letter to his colleagues, officially advising them that he is in the running to be the next Speaker of the House. I can only hope and...
Does any American seriously NOT know that there is a “Cop Culture” in this nation? Do any of us have a genuine understanding of what goes in inside that culture? Unless you've lived inside of it, you really don't. Redditt Hudson works for the NAACP and chairs the board of...
