If we are to fight for treaty rights, then we must all work together 
February 1, 2017 - Last night, a group of campers moved materials onto private land. This group’s actions do not represent the tribe nor the original intent of the water protectors. If we are to fight for treaty rights, then we must all work together. Tribes came to Standing Rock in support of our tribe’s effort with the recognition that it will reflect back on us all. This type of action was not undertaken in that spirit, because instead of empowering us, it undermines us....

The media that should have upended and embarrassed the propagandist legitimated him with billions of free advertising....

Reviewing Keith Ellison's animal welfare record 
After realizing I'd inaccurately characterized Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison's animal welfare record, I wanted to correct the error and take a deeper dive into his voting history as it relates to nonhumans. For those unaware, Ellison is a candidate for chair of the Democratic National Committee. During the 2016 presidential primary, he was an ally of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders....

The Civilization Crisis: Post-Factual Criticism of Politics In Trumponomics, falling tax rates for businesses should increase tax revenues. When businesses do not invest in an under-financed infrastructure, then tax gifts lead to lower state spending or higher state debts at the end. Trump wants to lead us into a world where subjective perception is everything and what he says is always reality-the post-truth world. He can create "facts"-the US has the highest corporate tax rate in the world-while most big corporations pay no federal tax. Between $21...
