The Unfinished Sentencing Of Donald Trump
Of course, we all expected it. There was no chance that a Republican-controlled Senate, and a Republican Party controlled by Trump and #MoscowMitch, would do anything other than acquit Donald Trump. It was as inevitable as Tuesday following Monday. In fact, I rather wonder why the Democrats even bothered with the process, knowing the outcome…
Read MoreWatch Your Back: Why I Believe Liberals Must Be Cautious
Editor’s Note: This piece first appeared back in September of 2017. I’m re-running it today because things have changed…but that may not make us safer.

Editor’s Note: This piece originally appeared in this publication on August 26, 2017. However, given current developments, it seemed like a good idea to run it again, just to remind people of how we got into this mess, and what we need to do to get out of it again. Vote blue in 2020! Haven’t…

AI As Your Corporate Master

The Corporatization of AI is a Major Threat to Humanity *** Michael Jay Tucker is a writer and journalist who has published material on topics ranging from the Jazz…
