I was out and about paying a few bills today, and when I was in the customer service line at our local grocery store, I saw a woman behind the counter wearing a rainbow pin that said “love will always win,” and a little pin next to it listing her pronouns as “She/They” and I…

The 2024 Election Brigade Cometh
Sometimes, people ask me why I’m not a Democrat. Some folks say that by not choosing to fully support Democrats I’m letting democracy be dismantled, but the truth is that democracy has long since been dismantled. Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin: capitalism. They both support a capitalist system that requires…

Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility. If you have some trans friends in your life, take a moment to tell them that you care about them, and that they’re not alone.To all of my trans sisters, brothers, and enbies, you are not alone, I love you, and I will continue to do what I…
Foreign Policy
The United States takes no breath as it kills mercilessly, tromping around the globe in gore covered boots, and a smoking gun in its bloody hands. It rifles through the pockets of the dead for their resources, and then thumps its chest in anger at the shocked faces staring back.
Twitter In The Rearview
Well, my account was suspended permanently from Twitter, after 13 years. Twitter would like to say it was verbal harassment of a fellow Tweeter (ugh), and I can’t help but agree.

Sun Goes Down Another Day
I’m back, for now. Turns out that social media sites don’t take too kindly when you’re using your forum to help women find birth control medication thanks to the recent Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade. I mean, can I prove that my site was deleted because of that? No. Am I an idiot?…
Abiding Eos
I have an idea about what I want to do next.I’d like a forum for leftists. I mean a place for socialists of all stripes: Democratic Socialism, Marxism, Anarchism, et. al., to come and talk without interference from moderators. Certainly, there are a few spaces where socialists can talk, but they’re almost always governed by…
A Closer Look at Dave Chappelle’s “Closer”
So I watched the Dave Chappelle “Closer” special, and if I had to choose a reaction for how it went, I’d have to say ultimately I was frustrated. There are points Dave makes in the show that are spot on, I mean SPOT ON about civil rights struggles we’re still having in the US. When…
