So like, what happened to the ‘Raise the Wage Act of 2021?” The Dems removed it from “President” Joe Biden’s 2 Trillion dollar COVID-19 Relief package in order to appease the Republicans. They were supposed to have a separate vote on raising the federal minimum wage as soon as possible. That was back in January. […]
Matt Gaetz, a prominent neo-Nazi Republican congressman from Florida – and one of former “president” Donald tRrump’s most ardent boot-lickers – is under investigation by the DOJ for sex trafficking of a minor. The utterly loathsome Gaetz has been accused of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paying for her to […]
The local music scene in Albuquerque has been hit especially hard by the COVID crisis. Before the pandemic began there was a major issue with the number of small venues going out of business. Even with the explosion of brew pubs over the last few years, few will be in a position to support live […]
It’s official. Following last weekend’s annual ultra-conservative CPAC confab in Orlando Florida, the GOP is now the American Nazi Party. Photos of the CPAC stage floor plan went viral on social media, with thousands of Twitter users sharing posts comparing its design to an Odal rune, one of the ancient pagan symbols Nazis adopted in […]
Black History Month is upon us once again; a time when corporate America gives lip service to the men and women who built this nation. The hypocrisy of all that “freedom and justice for all” bullshit is never more odious or obvious than during the month of February. Following the race riots of 2020, the […]
The Gamestop saga is over. The forces of evil have won again. If you’ve been anywhere near social media this week the big story has been the GameStop fiasco. The meteoric rise of GameStop stock was fueled by small investors snapping it up when it was cheap, using trading apps such as Robinhood, Trading 212, […]
[This is a re-post of a column I did for the Daily Lobo newspaper at UNM, back in 2012 or 2013. I posted it to my blog in January, 2015…sadly, it’s still relevant today] “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged […]
[Here is a re-post from 2016…] Martin Luther King, Jr.’s heartbreaking 1963 Letter from a Birmingham Jail is a classic rhetorical response to social injustice and to those who seek to perpetuate injustice either by ignorance, complacency, or tacit approval. MLK eloquently calls out the clergymen in Alabama who condemned him as an “extremist” for […]
As Americans, we have been taught to believe in the historical myth of The Alamo, rather than the reality. Few of us are aware that the rebels who died defending The Alamo weren’t the legendary folk heroes we’ve been led to believe. They were defending the Alamo from the Mexican army, not for any noble […]
I woke up on January 6th, 2021 and told my wife it was going to be a pivotal day in US History…I kind of expected something but didn’t know what. For some reason I was compelled to watch tRump’s entire speech that morning. That was the first time I actually saw him speak more than […]
