Is Barbieland Sam Alito’s Nightmare?

When Barbie has more integrity than six Republican members of the US Supreme Court, you know American democracy is in a crisis. It’s time for Congress and the Department of Justice to do their jobs and force the “corrupt six” Supreme Court justices to follow the law. It looks like the clan has been writing Florida’s curriculum. Cultist Trump new threats over impeaching Biden. Russia's new dystopian crackdown coming. Geeky Science!

Will America Face “Narcissistic Collapse” as Trump Descends into Legal Hell?

He’s already using the language of narcissistic collapse, priming his cult followers to experience rage and act out revenge fantasies on his behalf in a clear call to stochastic terrorism...Is the US government hiding alien spacecraft? Or not?  Is it a sign of how lost the GOP is that they are floating impeaching Biden? Rudy Giuliani has conceded he participated in the "big lie" Steve Bannon is a criminal who hangs out with criminals: why does he still have a popular podcast?

Death Penalty for Birth Control?

A deadly serious group of powerful men are fighting to make birth control a death penalty offense. Women are already in jail right now for breaking draconian fetal personhood laws, will we see the GOP execute a woman because she refused to give birth? Plus, health insurance companies are ripping off Medicaid now, as well as Medicare advantage, The science of how highly dominant men get endorsed as leaders in times of conflict & crisis, and DeSantis has a new video that is very, very weird and ends with storm troopers heading toward spinning swastikas.

Are GOP Governors Killing Their Citizens to Protect Billionaires?

Rightwing billionaires (who pay an average income tax of 3.4 percent) think the world is made up of “makers” and “takers." They see us voters as an impediment to their oligarchic plans, so every Red state in the country is working today to make it harder to vote and, since five Republicans on the Supreme Court legalized it in 2018, they’re also working to throw people in largely Democratic precincts off the voter rolls in massive purges.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
