    It Always Starts with Black Folks

    It Always Starts with Black Folks

    So I was listening to an interview with Jason Stanley, a Yale professor who wrote a book about How Fascism Works and he was talking about the ten pillars of fascism (spoiler alert: we’re batting a thousand on that score). When he got to the propaganda pillar, he made an interesting point: the disinformation machine that’s been chugging along, spitting out fake news, twisting facts into lie and up-ending reality – started with lies told about Black folks that were woven into o

    A Pretty Lie or the Ugly Truth?

    Since the beginning of time, people and the societies they built have said one thing and done another.

    And They Hold Their Noses

    And They Hold Their Noses

    The fever pitch of hypocrisy has reached a deafening roar. Layers of lies are being unsheathed as quickly as a tux on prom night. People who claimed to stand for family values separate them at the border. The hope of overturning Roe v Wade (plus voting rights plus imperial presidential powers plus corporate citizenship) overtakes the brutalization of women and a temperament that is far from judicious. Law and order types were switch hitters during the Kavanaugh debacle. I
