Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Tariffs on Penguins but not on Russia might be a tell.

It’s not just the tariffs that are going to wreck the US economy. There will be product boycotts as well as a decline in tourism and conferences held in the US because people have other options and won’t risk this stuff. The US is internationally viewed as a dysfunctional country (as it is).

GOP: Trans athletes playing in girls sports is cheating. Also GOP: it’s ok to block or purge 4 million voters from voter rolls, if they lean Dem.

A vote for Trump was shameful. Trump voters in my circle need to feel shame, as do non voters. Telling them this is the least that I can do. They need to own the shame, if not responsibility for the onslaught of pain he will inflict.

The bothsidesism of blaming Democrats for Trumps victory is nauseating and nonsensical.
