NO, “WOKE” DID NOT ORIGINATE ON THE LEFT:
IT’S ORIGINS MAY ACTUALLY SURPRISE YOU
In the summer heat of 1971 in broad daylight in front of thousands of people protesting “offensive ethnic stereotypes” in New York City, a stranger approached Mafia godfather Joseph Columbo and blasted three bullets into his body, including two into the head. More on that story in a moment.

IT’S TIME FOR DEMOCRATS NATIONWIDE TO “GO NUCLEAR” ON TEXAS REPUBLICANS
Remember when conservatives once stood up for Constitutional principles and espoused a deep commitment to institutional traditions?
Not anymore.
Certainly not in Texas, the state of my birth and the lone star of current mass ignorance and blatant hypocrisy, as it continues to soil it’s dismal rankings near the bottom of nearly every statistical metric on quality of life

MY PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT (LONG POST)
Forgive the self-indulgence which follows. I need to address a few things and announce a few changes.
I’ve taken a break recently from my usual public activism. Admittedly, right now is the wrong time to NOT engage in advocacy and current affairs. Call this pause a serious abdication of citizen responsibility. Common decency demands more of us–all of us. Decent people must speak out. The dangers we face are real. The consequences of silence and indifference are self-evident, and likely about to worsen.
During my sabbatical, I resisted the daily urge to post on Facebook. Moreover, I ceased meaningful social media exchanges. I also suspended my own personal writings at my website and sidelined my contributions to online content sites that regularly publish my work which gives much wider attention to my ideas .

THE END OF PBS AND THE RISE OF MASS MAGA PROPAGANDA
What kind of sick sycophantic stooges *celebrate* the looming mass cancellations of longtime-running popular television programs like Sesame Street and Nova?
Seriously! Look at what this sick and demented society has become. These MAGA Trumpsters are some really twisted and perverted fucks. Openly cheering the cancellation of science and children’s educational programming? Really??? Hell, they drool at taking food out of the mouths of hungry schoolchildren (school lunches being slashed) and apparently don’t give a rat’s ass that Trump and his rich friends have doodled hundreds and perhaps thousands of teenagers (Epstein/Trump Files) ——- so what’s the big freakin’ deal about losing a kid’s TV show? So typical of MAGA depravity.
There are no words. But, I’l try to sling a few choice comments here and now.

ORANGE KOOL-AID TIME
We’re now approaching Kool-Aid time.
Read More– If you ever wondered how a huge fandom of devoted followers could be so brainwashed they’d willingly go along with a mass suicide, well then — here we are.
– If you ever wondered what would make otherwise good people follow one maniacal leader who believes only he knows the way forward, well then — here we are.
– If you ever wondered how members of a mass cult could possibly isolate themselves from reality, ignore facts and data, distrust science and experts, suppress all dissent, threaten non-believers, and go after anyone who disagrees with the dear leader, well then — here we are.
