Some of Us Are Not Convinced Y’all’s President Won’t Start a Nuclear War
Let select members of the Tropicana Jong-il administration tell it, we needn’t worry about the threat of looming nuclear war. During an appearance on ABC’s This Week, national security adviser H.R. McMaster was asked whether or not the United States was any closer to war with North Korea than it had been in recent memory.…

Trump’s ‘Both Sides’ Fist Bump to White Supremacists Causes Ocean of Salty White Tears
So now that Donald Trump has made it very plain that he is a racist, Nazi-sympathizing piece of shit who was elected by equally racist, white-trash pieces of shit and is proud to represent them, little Timmy and Becky are crying white tears over being misunderstood for defending him. First, let’s start off with that…

Trump Disbands Advisory Councils After CEOs ‘Greyjoy’ off His Sinking Ship
Clearly it isn’t a courageous move by CEOs to abandon the president of white supremacy right after his off-the-rails white nationalist rant, but in a symbolic move, top corporate leaders have left the executive councils, forcing the president to end the groups altogether. According to the New York Times, Stephen A. Schwarzman, the chief executive…

Yes, Anti-Fascists Are Violent … and Necessary
When Donald Trump said in a press conference that “many sides” were responsible for the white supremacist melee in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday, he was right.

Here’s Why the CEOs Leaving Trump’s Councils Aren’t Heroes

‘Black’ Surrogates Take to Social Media to Tap-Dance for Trump’s White Supremacist Bullshit
President Donald Trump defended white supremacists in George Wallace fashion yesterday at Trump Tower in New York City, and like clockwork, his black surrogates took to social media to step and fetch for him. It doesn’t matter that a white supremacist is being held on a second-degree murder charge after, law-enforcement officials say, he rammed…

Ala. Mayoral Candidate Randall Woodfin Is a Sign of the Growing Progressive Movement in the South
Randall Woodfin believes any political revolution that takes off across the nation starts in cities like his hometown of Birmingham, Ala., where he is running as a progressive candidate for mayor.

To White Folks Who Dance With Devils: ‘What Kind of Extremists Will You Be?’
In a press conference during which Donald Trump shed any pretense of being anything other than a white supremacist demagogue deploying his power in the service of fascism, hate-mongering and violence wrought from the desperate need whiteness has to preserve itself, he said this: Trump: Well, George Washington was a slave owner.
