R.I.P. The Republican Party
Or as R.E.M. once said, "Welcome to the occupation." The Lincoln Project tweeted, “Tonight, the nation marks the end of the Republican Party. What remains shares the name and branding of the traditional GOP, but is in fact an authoritarian nationalist cult dedicated only to Donald Trump.”

Reclaiming Environmentalism
Since Derrick Jensen posted this on his cite as an open letter, I assume it to be fair game to reprint here. This is very, very heavy reading. To submit to this vision of a new environmentalism requires a huge degree of commitment and I'm not even sure how it can be achieved. And yet when you read the points Jensen makes-…

Music midtown in Atlanta canceled
So, Livenation has not confirmed, but Music Midtown in Atlanta is canceled, apparently due to the promoters inability to enforce a no guns allowed inside the concert since it is on public land (Piedmont Park). Georgia laws have changed and you cannot tell someone they can’t bring a gun. While I don’t have tickets to this…

Buffalo
I read this in an article this morning: "The Erie County sheriff, John Garcia, would later refuse to speak his name at a news briefing: “As far as we’re concerned, he’s Inmate Control Number 157103.”" I though that was very appropriate. It's much more important and worthy to recognize and remember the victims than it is…

Should Amy Coney Barrett be appointed to the SCOTUS?
Now that we've got a nominee, let the discussion of her possible appointment commence! Should she be appointed or are republicans playing by their own rules to stack the courts unfairly?
