Were You REALLY Surprised By The 2024 Election?
We all know what a joke our presidential elections have been for the last 12 years. It's been a bad road circus with rodeo clowns running the show, and they ONLY had a trapeze act. We keep this statement exactly as it is, and almost ALL Americans can agree with each other.

I Don't Know What To Say. Content Warning.
Introduction I have no words for what happened. I did not see it coming, because I knew how it would destroy the lives of so many close friends. I can't find anything about this dark day. I always want to be positive and raise people's spirits but I am struggling today.

How Project 2025’s Plan to Censor Porn Impacts Us All, Not Just Sex Workers
In today’s digital world, accessing adult content is easier than ever. For many, pornographic content is a click away, making it seem like a permanent part of modern life. However, the ease of access to sexual content that we often take for granted was not always the case. Only in 1969 did the U.S. Supreme Court rule that adults could view explicit content in the privacy of their own homes. Since then, publishers, artists, and advocates have fought hard to protect our freedoms in this realm. But now, a group of conservative activists is pushing to remove those rights—and they’re going after a wide spectrum of sexual expression online, known as Project 2025.

The Changing Face of America
I live in Indiana. It's a 'Red State.' 🤢🤮 When Trump was elected President in the abysmal year of 2016, his Vice President was Mike Pence. Pence was the former governor of Indiana. Mike was a typical conservative in most ways. He was a notorious homophobe.

Who's Got the 270?
When you realize that you have lost both Quincy Jones and Teri Garr, and that those are not the most newsworthy items on your screen and in your ears, it must be an election year...

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election: A Choice Between Two Uninspiring Visions
The 2024 U.S. presidential election is less a celebration of democracy than a study in disenchantment. Both candidates—Kamala Harris and Donald Trump—have come to represent not so much the best and brightest of American leadership, but rather the last resorts of their respective parties. With Biden’s unexpected withdrawal from the race and Harris stepping up in his place, voters are left with a stark choice that feels less about inspiration and more about resignation.

I don't want to live through another Trump presidency.
When I shared McSweeney's list of the damage that Trump has done, my uncle laughed at me. I thought that the people who raised me taught me about integrity. I thought they believed that lying is wrong. My dad warned me about the sex offender's in my grandma's neighborhood, and warned me that it wasn't safe to walk alone.
