No one is talking about Michael Flynn’s proposed coup???

The Progressive Wing Posted on December 3, 2020 by phatkhatDecember 3, 2020

Michael Flynn, recently pardoned, has called for Trump to suspend the Constitution, hold a new election under different rules, institute “partial” martial law, and basically become the king that the theocrats want. The Daily Beast: Retired Army Lt. Gen. Flynn, who was Trump’s first national security adviser and before that his most important military validator, circulated a petition for martial law in a Tuesday tweet. “Freedom never kneels except for God,” Flynn commented. The petition, from a Tea Party affiliate named Tom Zawistowski, implored Trump to proclaim “limited martial law” and order the military to conduct a do-over of the … Continue reading →

The most awesome anti-Trump video I’ve seen!

The Progressive Wing Posted on September 12, 2020 by phatkhatSeptember 12, 2020

It is uplifting, clever, well-cone and totally creative. It made me smile more than I’ve probably smiled in a week or so. The Liar Tweets Tonight…

What’s wrong with the Democrats?

The Progressive Wing Posted on May 3, 2018 by phatkhatMay 3, 2018

We lament the neocons leading the party. We know they hate the left far more than they hate the GOP. Norman Solomon of TruthDig wrote a truly incisive essay. I nodded so much while reading I think I hurt my neck! It concisely sums up why I couldn’t vote for HER, and why they worked so hard to smear Bernie and disenfranchise his supporters. They will do it again, too, if another progressive runs against them. Do read – it’s a great piece, even if it’s preaching to the choir. http://www.therealnews.com/t2/component/content/article/3570

Connecting the dots… Bannon and Trump and… Propaganda.

The Progressive Wing Posted on December 15, 2017 by phatkhatDecember 15, 2017

I’ve stumbled across a couple of articles in the past couple of days that have profoundly troubled me.  We know that Bannon wants to demolish the government and create something different, some dystopian land harking back to the 19th Century or worse. He admires Stalin. Ivana said Trump kept a copy of Mein Kampf in his nightstand. (Not sure how well he can read it, but perhaps it is rambling and crazy enough to make sense to him.) We know they both dog whistle the Alt-Right constantly. (Did you catch the Nazi salute by Bannon in Alabama?) One story is … Continue reading →

If you don’t care for theocracy…

The Progressive Wing Posted on October 5, 2017 by phatkhatOctober 5, 2017

My biggest fear is the increasing power of the theocrats, or religious right. Roy Moore kind of epitomizes them. So does Pence. They are a small minority in this country, but have political clout FAR exceeding their numbers. This came up in my inbox, and I found it interesting. Especially since some of the candidates discussed here at TPW are also on the Freethought endorsement list. This may help to decide between progressives to support, if, like me, you are not a fan of religion and politics mingling and mixing. 18 Candidates endorsed by Freethought Equality Fund PAC A bit … Continue reading →

Today is Net Neutrality Day – Take Action!!

The Progressive Wing Posted on July 12, 2017 by phatkhatJuly 12, 2017

Ajit Pai, formerly a Verizon corporate Attorney, is now head of the FCC. It is his stated intention to gut the net neutrality we worked so hard for recently, and turn it over to the big telecomms. Today, it is a national day of protest against his plan. This first link came from eBay to my email this morning. Have a look: https://netneutrality.internetassociation.org/action/?utm_medium=web&utm_source=ebay&utm_campaign=nn-action Common Cause has this: https://secure2.convio.net/comcau/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&page=UserAction&id=2020&autologin=true&s_subscribed=y Demand Progress: https://demandprogress.org/?t=10&akid=5943.2062877.uyuMn- Scroll to the bottom for several links. Don’t just sit there – DO SOMETHING. TODAY!!!!! Even Netflix has suffered from Comcast throttling them. That’s how bad this is and … Continue reading →

Maybe the genie is out of the bottle… and 2/11 open thread

The Progressive Wing Posted on February 11, 2017 by phatkhatFebruary 11, 2017

Resistance and progressivism seem to be springing up all over. The American Spring? As a former St. Louisan, I found this post at Kos interesting… and yes, I was slumming. For the first time in months! http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/2/10/1632332/-St-Louis-mayoral-candidate-s-brave-open-letter-has-people-all-over-the-country-applauding#comment_65479513 St. Louis has always been very racist. I hope this woman gets elected and can get the support she needs to make it better. It could be a great place to live… lots to do and not too big, as cities go. And lots of great ethnic food!

Please help! Advice needed – searching for “asylum”

The Progressive Wing Posted on February 10, 2017 by phatkhatFebruary 10, 2017

We are preparing to flee Arkansas. We are considering New Mexico, California, and Maine – Vermont would be peachy, but no cheap real estate. Anyone from any of these places who can advise on pros and cons (besides the weather, LOL), please weigh in or PM me. Or anyone else with suggestions on good places. My depression has given way to anxiety/panic attacks living here. We really need to depart from Jesus/Trump Land and find some kindred spirits.
