The Empire Strikes Back!

Text Mess!
The 1/6 Commission hit a mother load this week in the thousand page document dump by former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Inside this treasure trove were damning texts by Fox hosts, Republican Members of Congress and Trump's own son--begging for help on 1/6. The question remains though--with all this evidence within our grasps will those complicit in the attempt to overthrow our government continue to evade accountability or has their time finally come?

The Rise of White Extremism
The most recent school shooting in Michigan at the hands of Ethan Crumbly should be an alarm. His parents are Trumpers through and through who wrote the former disgraced president a letter honoring him and the 2nd amendment. Ethan also journaled his rage and no one paid attention. So, now we are here. Are we prepared for a society filled with armed, white, rage filled teens?!?

Reclamation of Whiteness
Roe is dead, voting rights is on life support and we just experienced our 28th school shooting this school year and it's only December. 53% of white women voting for a misogynistic racist is how we got to our current moment of despair and the Republicans time of triumph.
