We can’t love away or argue away the guns. We have to go hard Left and politically destroy the Patriarchal White Christian Nationalists who breed the shooters and defend the indefensible.  www.charlesbursell.com

Democrats have Lefties wondering: Is this real? Can it last?  Also, conflicting moods over new Covid infections and vaccine politics. www.charlesbursell.com

Spring reflections on public spaces, retirement, abandoning the car, and the degenerate nature of television. www.charlesbursell.com

Humanities vs trade school, no more traffic cops, and preparing for the next emergency. Also: if money poisons politics does it poison everything else? Of course, it does. www.charlesbursell.com 

Upstart news networks, what’s really happening in Portland, rainforest emissions, and rooting for anarchy. www.charlesbursell.com

Topics I’ve been avoiding: Woody Allen, Andrew Cuomo, and how sand, yes, sand, is killing the planet. Ugh. www.charlesbursell.com

Smoking out Stephen Miller’s bad White House juju, Harry and Meghan create a new Right/Left divide, and marking one year of Covid. www.charlesbursell.com

Don’t’ let Radical Christian Fascists fool you on trans athletes or “strong” border policy – It’s pure bigotry. Also: Blunt Senate politics. www.charlesbursell.com

Dems went big on police reform, voting rights, and Covid relief, and now they must bust the filibuster. Also: the notorious eight, RoJo the Dumb, and what would Mitch do? www.charlesbursell.com

While pollution kills millions annually, right-wing Fossils cling to whale oil and spittoons. But climate revolution in both policy and narrative ARE possible.  www.charlesbursell.com

I spent the whole weekend watching CPAC. It was brutal, but the new American Nazis are powerful and we ought to keep a damn close eye on them. www.charlesbursell.com
