I feel compelled to repost this spot-on Substack essay by Mitch Jackson. Here's a related post about Robert O. Paxton’s book, The Anatomy of Fascism. Tick-tock, fellow US Americans. MAA The evidence is not opinion. It is public record. And it demands your attention before November. Apr 04, 2026 Listen to the audio version A … Continue reading A Historian Spent 30 Years Interviewing Nazis. He Identified 12 Warning Signs of Fascism.

What Do We (Anti-Zionist) Jews Talk About When We Talk About Zionism?
This is a repost of a Substack essay by Phil Rockstroh, another anti-Zionist Jew whom I deeply admire for speaking the truth about the apartheid and genocidal nation of Israel. Below is an Arabic translation for my Palestinian friends and colleagues: ما الذي نتحدث عنه نحن اليهود المناهضون للصهيونية عندما نتحدث عن الصهيونية؟ Peace & … Continue reading What Do We (Anti-Zionist) Jews Talk About When We Talk About Zionism?
The Blood on His Hands
Ladies and gentlemen - the president of the United States of America. From Vincent Peters via LinkedIn. He could have added that Trump has broken all Ten Commandments. I respectfully disagree with Vincent: I don't think redemption is in the cards. I included "racism" as a tag because there are (surprise!) no people of color … Continue reading The Blood on His Hands
It’s Not Trump. It’s America.
Image created by ChatGPT based on the second paragraph of this post. I often hear this comment from well-meaning US colleagues: "This is not who we are." Perhaps it's a manifestation of wishful thinking rooted in the mistaken belief that MAGA 2.0 is an aberration. My interior monologue always quickly responds, "This is exactly who … Continue reading It’s Not Trump. It’s America.
Americans are Beginning to Notice
This is a repost of a Facebook post by the one and only, Michael Jochum, whose tagline is Not Just a Drummer: Reflections on Art, Politics, Dogs, and the Human Condition. My response to the title of this post: May it be so. Peace & Justice, MAA There are moments in history when the façade … Continue reading Americans are Beginning to Notice
A Pedophile Protector
I feel like Michael Jochum's publicist. I can resist reposting some of his Facebook posts. He says what needs to be said eloquently, forcefully, and succinctly. No wasted words. To say he is "Not Just a Drummer," is a understatement. Here's one of his recent posts about the Ford worker who spoke truth to power … Continue reading A Pedophile Protector
Racist-in-Chief
Source: Heterodox Academy, 2018 As one colleague put it, Dear Leader "has no bottom. And the off-the-charts hypocrisy of his Evangelical Christian supporters. Just wow." It's no secret tRump is a racist just like his father. He hates the Obamas for four main reasons: 1) they're Black, 2) they're well-educated and successful, 3) Barack Obama … Continue reading Racist-in-Chief
Dear Leader’s Rap Sheet
This is a repost from Scott Brandt on Facebook. Keep in mind that it's a partial list. I added two items for 2015. One of them alone would have disqualified a candidate from even running in saner times. I thought about adding links to credible sources for the sake of convenience but decided it would be … Continue reading Dear Leader’s Rap Sheet
Not a Riot—A Reckoning
WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 6: Trump supporters clash with police and security forces as people try to storm the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC. Demonstrators breeched security and entered the Capitol as Congress debated the 2020 presidential election Electoral Vote Certification.

These Beautiful Flames
Here's one of the latest results of my ongoing experimentation with AI. This is DeepSeek's upbeat version of a song about the US as a metaphorical dumpster fire that I promised to share with you in this 10 October 2025 blog post, The USA as a Metaphorical Dumpster Fire. It's not bad, but it's not … Continue reading These Beautiful Flames
