    Several articles to read about the Boudin recall.

  • Dodging

    I somehow managed to avoid getting listed on K*y*iki (a site that collects data about FB users who are also active in the Left). This is a rough guess about how I did it.

  • Jimmy Dore Coddles Fascists

    This goes back over a year. I mostly missed it, but did hear about it. After having heard Dore on and off for a few years, I had a good idea where he was coming from. I was, and am, critical of these “left-right unity” efforts when people try to unite with people close to…

  • Justice for the Roques
