    Yes, it's possible. I have a sneaking suspicion that a significant number of voters are voting against MAGA candidates rather than for progressive policies. And I think that's a promising sign....

    I would tend to agree, to an extent. What both ends of the bell curve have in common is ideas rather than ideologies. Ideas bubble up - or are resurrected - out on the edges and trickle in toward the...

    Indeed ... that particular saga goes on and on and on ... practically every place you look. You'd think the right wing would clean up its own house before going after teachers, books and gender...

    I agree that there are age-appropriate ways to teach behaviors. What I have a problem with is the assumption that children are not already familiar with such behaviors as violence, bullying and sexual...

    Re your quoted post, telling of what, I wonder? Meanwhile, the trump-worshippers here are equally silent ... so why is that? For myself, while I am following the various investigations, I don't...

    I have been amusing myself lately trying to spot deepfakes. Have definitely seen one for sure and one possible in the past month. I wouldn't be shocked to discover that there's way more than that. I...

    Seriously? We're back to whining about whether the Jan 6 Committee was bipartisan? The committee had minimal representation from the Republican Party because they refused to participate after...
