Ed Markey Sets Standard on Opposing War with Iran

January 3, 2020 By thegreenmiles 34 Comments

July 19, 2019 By thegreenmiles 4 Comments

Pilgrim Nuclear Plant

While I fully support permanently shutting down rickety old Pilgrim nuclear this week, I'm agnostic on nuclear power in general. Sixty years into the nuclear era, it remains disaster-prone and we have no answers (never mind good ones) when … [Read more...]

Ban All Guns Now

November 8, 2018 By thegreenmiles 21 Comments

The progressive position on gun control should be that we should ban all guns now. Can we negotiate on guns for cops, hunters & people in extremely remote areas that cops can't quickly reach? Sure! Let the NRA ask for those & we can … [Read more...]

ONCE AGAIN, I am asking @massgop candidate for Secretary of State Rayla Campbell (@RaylaForMA) to tell us who told her child this. #mapoli

Matt Stout@MattPStout

.@RaylaForMA, accepting party endorsement at @massgop convention, tells crowd: “You can’t just sit and say … ‘That’s not so nice.’

“I don’t think it’s nice when they’re telling your 5-year-old that he can go and suck another 5-year-old’s Dick. Do you?” #mapoli

Thank you @leung for the opportunity to share our story. No one should be forced to leave Massachusetts to access compassionate abortion care.

Conservative Catholics want Catholic orthodoxy enshrined in law.

Christian dominionists think God sent Trump to "save" the US as a Christian nation.

The Majority wants majority rule in a Republic that respects minority rights but does not enact minority rule #mapoli #hnpolitics

MP Arizona@AzPetrich

Sooo, an Oklahoma bill would fire teachers for "offending Christian morals" by teaching biology. WTH?

The bill would allow parents to sue teachers $10,000 "per incident, per individual." The fine would need to be paid by the teacher "from personal resources" and the
