We wake up this morning to another person killed in an ICE involved shooting. This time in Maine. One week after ICE killed a father/grandfather in Houston. ICE isn’t law enforcement. ICE is the antithesis of law enforcement. And the vast majority of the American people get that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My weekly tequila talk conversation with Democratic strategist Cliff Schecter. Also joining us is Richard Chew of WCPT radio in Chicago. We talked about the Dem party and what they must do to win. Great conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My weekly sit down with my younger socialist friend, Xander Schultz. And we get into the whole “label” thing - when people throw out terms like communist or socialist, how best to take that stuff on. Xander had a great rebuttal- focus on corruption. Also, how do we get people who disagree with each other to actually listen to each other. Hosted on Acast.

By supporting Donald Trump, Republicans told the world they don’t give a damn about personal character. Democrats, don’t do the same, it’s wrong, personally Al character matters, and you can still win by electing “fighters” with good personal character. Hosted on Acast.

On June 18, Trump’s Justice Department issued a memo claiming that federal disability laws don’t require state level integration, guidance in direct conflict with the 1999 Supreme Court Olmstead decision. This memo must not stand. Time for Congress to codify into law the Olmstead decision. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A lot of talk these days about certain people who “hate” America, and the right is going to town on certain elements of the left that clearly don’t like America. And there are folks on the left who despise what America is. But nobody hates America more than someone who loses an election and refuses to accept the results. No one hates America more than someone who opposes our founding principles. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My younger socialist friend and I chatted again this week, focused especially on the problems of homelessness, addiction, and mental health, what to do, what not to do, what if anything government should do. We agreed that letting these folks hang in public spaces isn’t the answer, we looked for a better term than “institutionalize.” Neat conversation Hosted on Acast.

From the moment he was sworn in, he’s been stuffing his pockets with money and his family has been stuffing their pockets with money…to the tune of billions. We’ve never seen anything like it. He singlehandedly fucked up the economy, he illegally took this country to war, and he’s desecrating the people’s house. And along the way, he’s personally enriching himself. He doesn’t care about you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
