America, It's Time for Moral Clarity
We do not have the right to remain silent. Miranda rights don’t apply to morality. Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself; it is more universal, more contagious, more dangerous.

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file. (Published May 2023)

Unfortunately it sounds like this was a bad case on both facts and law. SCOTUS is likely waiting for a better vehicle to reconsider Obergefell

Kathryn Bigelow's A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is fascinating because it's very much a throwback: it's a good old-fashioned nuclear panic movie! What does that say about our geopolitical moment? Well ... nothing good!

This is such a great callout… Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November? If not, you’re at the wrong church.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Really sad that the Vice President can’t just say the texts are bad and troubling and condemn them and lead for once - and instead feels the need to deflect and run cover for it and signal to young republicans that it’s actually no big deal.

Generational trauma will not heal itself. Until we acknowledge what is true about our country (that white supremacy is at the root of said trauma) we will continue to destroy ourselves.

We should have ended it all when he started openly monetizing the presidency at his DC hotel & sending his kids to represent the 🇺🇸 government at official international events. But he is One Special Boy and we appear to no longer be a serious country interested in the rule of law or the Constitution.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.
