Howling into the void

  • In today’s thin-skinned toddler tantrum news…

    Banana republican quasi-fascist toddler Donald J Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Commissioner Erika McEntarfer today because the published jobs report hurt his feelings. The crybaby in chief whined on his own propaganda outlet: “We need accurate Jobs Numbers,” Trump wrote. “She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important…

  • The death of local newspapers and the derth of accountability

    The daily reports about widespread starvation at the hands of the Israeli Defence Faorces and with approval of the Trump regime are heartbreaking. Horrifying. Infuriating. Heartbreaking. Preventable. Evil, petty powerful men are making choices to literally starve hundreds of thousands of Palestinians for merely existing in an open-air prison and killing ground that Israel created…

  • Yes, it’s a cult

    A history teacher explains the what, how and why of authoritarian and cult groupthink. The video’s creator explains the basis, the method and the effect. I would add that this is the best 5 minutes and 41 seconds you’ll spend understanding how white Christian male grievance has been the foundation of multiple totalitarian societal problems,…

  • When lies become truth the liars become violent

    The least astonishing aspect of the United States’ stunning fall from representative democracy to one-party dictatorship in just one generation is the proliferation of the Big Lie. The Big Lie’s origins lie at the feet of Adolph Hitler and not his odious and malevolent lackey Joseph Goebbels, as is commonly thought. The Big Lie’s power…

  • Critical thinking in the age of disinformation

    In today’s information-saturated era, the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood is more critical than ever. With the rapid spread of disinformation through various channels, such as social media, partisan news sources, and sophisticated propaganda, critical thinking skills have become not only valuable but also essential. Lacking these skills can leave individuals susceptible to manipulation…

  • When lies become truth

    The least astonishing aspect of the United States’ stunning fall from representative democracy to one-party dictatorship in a single generation is the proliferation of the Big Lie. The Big Lie’s father was Adolph Hitler, contrary to popular belief, and not his odious and malevolent0 lackey propagandist Joseph Goebbels. The Big Lie’s power rests in creating…

  • It’s Big. And it’s Bad. Very, Very Bad

    The Big Bad Bill passed a few minutes ago. It’s big and it is very, very bad. It is the embodiment of state-sponsored cruelty, the strong twist of the steel toe on the boots on working class necks. This is the beginning of the end for the New Gilded Age. May all those who voted…

  • Fascism on the march: Resist now

    Another day, another move by the Trump regime to destroy constitutional foundations and establish a dictatorship. Because he got his feelings hurt on his birthday with a military parade reminiscent of the smallest and most pathetic banana republics, the low IQ serial loser started a war. History repeats We have seen this before. Our granfathers…

  • Fascism on the march

    Today’s “Army 250th birthday party,” which “coincidentally” fell on Emperor Taco’s birthday, was lightly attended and was protested peacefully throughout the country. The emperor god has watched his “deal making” spiral out of control, as Putin treats him like the joke he is and Israel continues to dig its own grave picking fights with bigger…

  • Concert subverted expectations

    I went to a concert and it was nothing like I’m used to. The guy talked the entree time and took nearly 30 mic to finally begin playing. He had a full set up but the band only played once, and then only the bassist and drummer. He’s an alternative genre artist, but he has…
