Who will stand with them?
The battle of Los Angeles has begun, apparently, and I can’t help but wonder what it will take for the other half of the voting population to see what is really happening. Rounding up people whose only crime is the color of their skin and the nation of their origin is not only unconstitutional but…

Why Do Liberals Lose So Goddamn Always?
A Progressive Critique of Political Messaging, Economic Misunderstanding, and Voter Psychology A rerun of sorts, I know.
