Vote for the Auteur from Amarillo

Berto O’Rourke is the punk rock candidate. He rides a skateboard, curses frequently and in his first debate with The Cruzmobile, he dropped a Clash reference on live TV when referencing his opponent.

The Sky Is Falling, No Seriously, The Sky Is Falling

Following Tuesday’s run-off election, former Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez is now the Democratic Party’s nominee for Governor of Texas. She has an incredible story.

Veterans May Help The Democratic Party Reclaim The House

Politically speaking, left is now right, and hawks are now doves. It’s a mixed up world. What’s not confusing is how mainstream Democrats can be.

Gina Ortiz Jones, for one, is a […]

Social Media Is A Breeding Ground For “Sowing Discord”

Buying followers—real or fake—on Twitter and other social media platforms has been an irritating problem for years. The shady firms who offer these services play the vanity card to perfection and it works. It works because we are human and humans need to organize.

Michigan Attorney, Dana Nessel, Promises To Keep Her “Non Penis” In Her Pants

Dana Nessel, a tenacious advocate for justice, will not sexually harass staff.
