By Mark | September 8, 2019

Yesterday evening, I had the pleasure of attending a housewarming party here in Ypsilanti for Washtenaw Community College graphic design instructor Ingrid Ankerson. Here, for those of you who haven’t already had the pleasure of meeting Ingrid, who just moved to Ypsi from Wisconsin — by way of Baltimore and Ann Arbor — is her […]

Our racist president, being a racist, says something racist

By Mark | July 28, 2019

I didn’t want to write about Donald Trump’s most recent racist statements, as, to be honest, I didn’t see as how any good would come of it. It was just a week or so ago that we were talking about how he’d told four freshman Congresswomen of color to “go back” to the “crime infested” […]

Cohen testifies before Congress, sheds light on Trump crime family

By Mark | February 27, 2019

Well, the threat of Trump loyalist Matt Gaetz apparently didn’t work. Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s personal attorney for over a decade, the man our President called a “rat,” showed up this morning as scheduled to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Over the course of approximately seven hours, Cohen, who started his […]

By Mark | January 23, 2019

Hearing that Michael Cohen had given word today that he would not be testifying before Congress on February 7 as promised, citing threats made against members of his family by Donald Trump, I decided to pull together a little “witness intimidation” timeline for us to go over as a group. I hope you find the […]

Armed with just one of Trump’s tweets, Bernie Sanders attempts to fight off the forces of darkness that are massing to repeal Obamacare

By Mark | January 4, 2017

I’m usually pretty wary of gimmicks, but I think the fact that Bernie Sanders took to the floor of the U.S. Senate this afternoon, during a debate on the repeal of Obamacare, accompanied by one of Donald Trump’s magnified tweets, was one of the most brilliant things I’ve seen in a long time. The Trump […]
