Sometimes it can be difficult to find a lot of stories about pushback. That doesn't mean it's not happening; it just means that I haven't found a story from someone else. Down in the Legal section, I try to summarize some of the court

Sorry for the delay - had some website issues last night and couldn't send, but here you go! A lot of protests, a lot of government news, and a lot of Pete Hegseth. As long as the government news is about protests of Pete Hegseth, I'm

Pushback 13

For a moment I considered skipping the number 13, with its connotations of bad luck, as though I were the architect of a high rise office building. But frankly, Trump has been having some bad luck, so I thought it was appropriate. May he have much more! I'm

Another Monday is in the books, friends, and while we may have taken off a day or two, thankfully a few federal judges did not. As with his Stop the Steal litigation, Trump is mostly losing in the courts. This is because he is a loser. There's a

This one is a quickie because I keep swearing I will take the weekend off but then a bunch of good people show up and push back. Given that transfolks only make up .8% of the population and the recent order banning trans athletes affects only TWELVE athletes, I think

Today I was listening to a popular politics podcast and the hosts were running through the laundry list of horribles, gnashing their teeth and rending their garments over Elon's coup crew and bemoaning "Trump's America." One complaint they had was that "Democracy doesn&

Finally started to see a little action from our elected officials today. Hopefully it's just the beginning of the leadership we will need in person in DC to slow the wheels of Trump's off-the-rails train. By the way, let me know if you prefer this in
