. . . and taking historical fact into custody.
After all, why tell truthful history when you can pretend that your country never did those things that it did?
Today’s Republican Party is a vile and loathsome thing.

Once again, that’s not scripture. That’s Republican policy.
A Notion of Immigrants 0
Sam and the crew justifiably deride Tom Homan’s lamer attempts to justify ICE’s violations of the law, due process, and the Constitution.

Thom talks with Jocelyn Benson, Secretary of State for Michigan, about what it was like when armed Trump supporters turned up at her house because Trump lost the 2020 election and about what may motivate such extremism.
Deportation Nation 0
Farron discusses the Trump maladministration’s plan plot to denaturalize naturalized citizens because they have the unmitigated gall to exercise their rights as American citizens.
Ironically, my local media celebrated a naturalization ceremony at Fort Monroe that took place on the Fourth.
This New Gilded Age 0
The editorial board of the Bangor Daily News looks at Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and sees little more a transfer of wealth from the poor to the already wealthy, with a healthy side dish of mean for the sake of mean.
I commend their editorial to your attention.
