I really didn’t want to comment on the situation in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. I was happy to just sit back and share a few posts from people who also just want peace in the region. It feels impossible now. I see posts from people, from all walks of life, that I just can’tContinue reading “On Behalf of the Innocent”

The January 6 Insurrection
The events at the U.S Capitol building on January 6, 2021, should be sickening to every single American. I posted my initial disgust in the moment on my social media pages, but a long form breakdown and rebuke of those involved and those who have enabled these traitors, is necessary. Days like Wednesday, are whatContinue reading “The January 6 Insurrection”
Too Big to Steal
Joe Biden, by historic margins, is going to be the next President of the United States. Ironically, he will win by the same electoral margin that his predecessor did in 2016. What is different about 2020, is that Biden did not win by razor thin margins in a small number of states like Trump didContinue reading “Too Big to Steal”
Democracy’s Last Chance
In this, my final before election day, I will not be laying our a case on any policy positions for or against Trump or Biden. The last month has made one thing abundantly clear, this will be the last free (relatively depending on your state) and fair election of my life time if Trump winsContinue reading “Democracy’s Last Chance”
The Shooting Started
I’m sick. I’m angry. I’m saddened. Last night in Wisconsin was the all too predictable, natural progression of where the protests for police reform were heading. In case you haven’t seen, because Facebook loves to push down news that paints white nationalists in a bad light, a 17 year old white supremacist shot and killedContinue reading “The Shooting Started”
Mailing It In
As discussed previously, the upcoming November election will end up being one of the largest “vote by mail” elections in our nations history. If you are like me, living in Massachusetts, you will have already been mailed an application to vote by mail, and would have already been sent your ballot for the primary takingContinue reading “Mailing It In”
Build Back Better
You’re dollar, doesn’t buy as much as it used to, or in my case, it ever did. For too long, the middle/lower class has been left behind when it comes to economic prosperity. We are the richest country on Earth and have been for quite some time. Why then does our money not get usContinue reading “Build Back Better”
Self Evident Truths
Like most of the U.S last night, I watched “Hamilton” with my family. It was wonderful, especially the supporting actors and the music itself. Of course, being so close to July 4, the story of one of the major players of the American Revolution has inspired some thoughts. The founding fathers had their warts. ManyContinue reading “Self Evident Truths”
Where is the Bottom?
I haven’t written a lot since the protests against police brutality began. I’ve taken a lot of time to study, and understand more, about the movement in general. I encourage you all to as well. This blog will not be about that particular movement, but will instead update you on the absolute abhorrent conduct ofContinue reading “Where is the Bottom?”
Two Americas
Democracy in America is far from perfect, hence this blog I created. Fundamental flaws permeate it: voter suppression, the electoral college, gerrymandering etc…. There is a common denominator to a lot of these flaws, the impact on diverse communities across the countries. All deserve a hard look at their impact, but on aggregate, they allContinue reading “Two Americas”
