The Truth has been banned at Daily Kos, but it's alive and well here. You'll see it on the front page, you'll see it in the essays, you'll see it in the comments and videos and images we post.

I had intended to write a piece about my impressions of this year's Primaries, some possible scenarios leading to various outcomes, and posit some questions as to why we have (or have not) seen certain moves by certain camps. I can still go there; but most of this has now been tsunami'd by the events of this past week, most notably the Nevada DemConv; furthermore the news that networks will no longer be hiring Exit Pollsters for the remaining Primaries.

Vermont is one of the states in which transgender people theoretically have equal rights.

I'm sure that's what AJ Jackson thought when he sheepishly walked into the boys' bathroom at Green Mountain High School in Chester, VT recently.

But the way some of his classmates see it, A J was still Autumn Jackson, a girl in boys’ clothing, who had violated an intimate sanctum, while two boys were standing at a urinal, their private parts exposed.

And that has led to students channeling their parents.

This is a very important message from Bernie to the Democratic Party:

This is a bone-chiller video. I was a scientist, until Federal funding disappeared. I may actually have some plasmid DNA in my freezer, but not this.

CNN actually has a rather nuanced article on Bernie/Hillary - it must be the end of the world........

Hi there everyone.
