  3. What is so striking about the scene at the gun rights rally in Richmond is what you don’t see: almost no cops. Just that little cluster of state police there. No lines of riot cops. No law enforcement in riot gear.

  9. If we are to honor and love Martin Luther King, we must be clear about who he was. In this historical moment, we especially need to remember the real Martin Luther King, because there are a lot of false portraits that are being pandered in the public square.

    Trump’s NAFTA 2.0 is an enormous, multinational prize for climate deniers and the fossil fuel industry. It’s a carbon emissions nightmare that locks the US in for YEARS & blocks whoever wins the presidency in 2020 from negotiating a better deal. It’s a bad idea, folks.
