Thom plus logo Is America Up to the Task of Reforming Both the GOP and the Options Markets?

We're in an unacknowledged Second Republican Great Depression.

We're at the Threshold of a Fascist Authoritarian Takeover & January 6th Was Our Kristallnacht

Thom plus logo The work of 245 years & millions of lives dedicated or given to defend the American ideal could vanish

Today is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and is also the day after 45 Republicans in the Senate voted that Trump's attempt to turn America into a fascist state was just fine with them.

How does this kind of horror happen in otherwise civilized, advanced countries?

If America Doesn't Implement the "Buy American" Vision Now, the 21st Century Will Be the Chinese Century

Thom plus logo Technological independence and repudiating "free trade" are key.

The Filibuster Was Grounded in Slavery and Now Threatens All Life on Earth

Thom plus logo It has to end, and you can help

It's time to end the filibuster and bring democracy to the US Senate.

Framing is the key to waking up Americans to the real forces behind GOP policies

Thom plus logo If Dems don't figure this out soon 2022 is a loss.

In politics, framing is everything, and Democrats must get with the program or 2022 will be a disaster.

Merciless Republican Traitors Beg for Mercy While Many Still At-Large

Thom plus logo Don't give it to them: the moment demands justice

America is at a fascist turning point - and only totally disempowering and humiliating Trump will stop it

If Trump isn't exposed as a weakling fraud, our country dies.

Battle lines are now drawn in neighborhoods, workplaces, and even families, as longtime relationships are torn apart over loyalty to America's strongman fascist leader, Donald Trump.

Thom plus logo It's about time the last one, Trump, is held accountable

Trump's impeachment trial is coming up in the Senate, and already his allies are trying to throw up procedural roadblocks to exhaust the effort to hold him accountable. Should America "move beyond" Trump? No friggin' way.

Shameless Radical Religious Leaders Have Now Corrupted Government

Thom plus logo It's time to cut them off from the "free lunch" of tax exemption

It's time for average Americans to stop being forced to subsidize politically radical religious leaders.

America is dying: three steps to bring us back from the brink
