  • Awesome Detroit Resistance to the Gaza War Genocide

    Awesome Detroit Resistance to the Gaza War Genocide

    Detroit resistance to Israel’s assault on humanity will not be stifled. There is a vital thread of increasingly-informed, peaceful, credible people who know they are on the side of rightness.

    Call them undecided voters, or uncommitted or demanding.

    July’s VanLife escape took us on our north-south loop from Detroit to Clearwater. Or more specifically, Royal Oak to Dunedin and back.

    McConnell’s SCOTUS and Political Violence: The Buck Stops Here

    Political violence is never good or justifiable. SCOTUS should not leave people hopeless. Rule of law cannot touch Trump. But political violence can touch Trump. These two interconnected points are all the Trump shooting investigators need to know. Indeed, insight into the entirety of American tragedy follows from these two points. This is where we…
