Bernie at the Democratic Convention: Let Us Not Talk Falsely Now

The lies of corporate politicians are the foundational cause of every crisis America is facing. Let us not talk falsely now is Bernie’s message to the despised political establishment, to the depraved economic establishment, to the degenerate media establishment, to the degraded military establishment, it’s his message to everyone in power, to everyone in authority at every level of society, to the police and the judges, to business owners and employers, to every American trapped in this twilight struggle for survival as the pursuit of corporate profit strangles the economy and the GOP casts the shadow of fascism across the entire political system.

Police both dead-named and misgendered Walker, even though friends and family identified her as a transgender woman.

The suspect's family is alleging that Walker was attempting to sexually assault the teen. That's what happens when government officials paint us as sexual predators.

How the ted Cruz dropout benefits the Sanders campaign

Just saw this piece on twitter from seth abramson. Articulates some things that have been in the back of my mind, and brings up some things that had not even occurred to me.

Give it a read.

Trump as Republican nominee may just be a blessing in disguise . . .

This is short, but I don't see any reason to layer this analysis with anything more than this:

If presumptive republican nominee Trump (after his win tonight and Cruz dropping out) goes after the democratic anointed nominee (Clinton) tomorrow, the Democratic establishment may end up on that road as yet not traveled: the nomination of an insurgent candidate: Bernie Sanders.
