They are. Examine “Medicare for All.” Why should this ONE system which has never been tried anywhere in the world out of many that have been tried be the litmus test for whether you are a health care advocate? It’s a demand to perform a radical experiment with the health care system, our economy and people’s lives. So…

We in Oh-11 did vote better than Nina Turner, an unpredictable, indiscrete grudge-holder. One obscure councilman in a small suburb claiming he didn’t endorse Shontel even though his name appeared among 200 other endorsees who didn’t say that isn’t indicative of anything. He probably did in fact promise to endorse her…

I will just add that if she won we could have expect the slogan “Dismantle the Pentagon and the prison state,” which was painted on that funky campaign bus she had driving around, would have been deployed by Republicans in every campaign against an Ohio Democrat next year. 

Nina lost the race because she was a candidate who turned people off. I live in OH-11. Countless people told me that Shontel came across approachable & warm and Nina came across dark, negative & accusatory. There’s little difference between the “progressivism” of the two: they both basically have the same goals. The…

I’m sorry but I can’t take anyone seriously who grovels at the feet of someone who tried to have them killed.

Why are they just honorary members? Can’t they join for real? A state rep in the district next to mine joined just a few years ago when she was in the late 30s.

I like that Howard hired Coates even though he dropped out of college and doesn’t even have a bachelors degree (the story I read said he plans to work for it when he gets to Howard), meaning they looked at actual accomplishments and the real value a person can bring rather than check boxes on academic credentials.

Once again this confirms the utter worthlessness with which our society regards women. And I’m a white woman. I cannot even imagine what Black women feel.

The thing about integration meant kids spreading venereal disease made me laugh. I vividly remember when I was a kid in Chicago seeing on TV a bunch of white Polish ladies in beehives (my mother called them “anti-busing hairdos”) greeting a bunch of black kindergartners getting off a school bus, their faces contorted…

You spelled her name wrong throughout this article. Everyone knows it’s KayLie.

I had to read this just to find out what a “KKK Princess” was (I never heard of this actress). We didn’t have those when I was growing up on the south side of Chicago.

I take enjoyment from thinking about how Symone Sanders anywhere in the administration is driving Briahna Joy Gray crazy.

You also probably had a stable home with dinner on the table at 6 and two parents ( or at least one) who were home to make sure you were home “once the street light came on” but that is not the reality in today’s world with wages depressed and parents working 2 or 3 jobs to put food on the table and neighborhoods…

Where is the scandal in Cullors buying what for California is a rather modest house? And what difference does the demographic of the neighborhood make? I’m scratching my head about where the “scandal” is here?

They’re going to do this in CHICAGO, my home town? This I have to see! The only neighborhood I can see this happening in is Mt. Greenwood on the far southwest side — that’s where all the white cops live and was the only one of Chicago’s 77 distinct neighborhoods to go for Trump.

Does anyone else get those robocalls from police groups where they try to make it sound like a real person is calling you, saying “As you know it’s been an awful year for the officers, with attacks on them escalating. If we were to send you an envelope, could you return a small donation to help us fight for…

I believe we could decrease sedition and treason in the U.S. by incarcerating Tom Cotton, along with Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Gym Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Mo Brooks, Madison Cawthorn and Matt Gaetz. (We have a fair shot at the last one for other reasons.)

Agree. Sure. Overturn his death sentence. No one should even THINK about overturning his conviction.

I get terrified about the director this country is heading too — every time I hear about the latest ludicrous Republican contention, hear threats from Mitch McConnell or see GOP candidates rushing to announce that THEY are the Trumpiest human being running. That’s scary. I’m not that concerned with what Mardi B and Meg…

“Sex obsession” is a fancy name for misogyny.
