Normalizing Hate

Normalizing Hate

MOTION DENIED I was there every day of the hate trial of Dylann Roof, as sketch artist. I sat through the whole thing. He had every chance to defend himself. All he did offer was a strangely detached, yet spiteful "manifesto," which incidentally reads like it was...

The Monetization of Hate

The Monetization of Hate

I believe there is an evil in the world, a dark presence that thrives on hate and fear. Call it the devil, call it ideology or conviction of the heart. But something is forcing us to fight each other. The Jews striking back at the Muslims, Trump blaming immigrants for...

The Epstein Affair

Trickle Down Fascism

Trickle Down Fascism

I finally watched the horror show from this past Friday with President Zielinski and the Trump Syndicate.. It's difficult for me to watch abusive content because it is so triggering for me personally -- good luck over the next four years, right? Aside from the ganging...
