One thing that's been constant with the Trump administration is cruelty. From attacking a dead senator, feuding with Gold Star families, insulting women, racist slurs, shithole countries, encouraging rally participants to beat up up protesters, ripping families apart, throwing babies in jail and forcing them to go to court alone, to defending Nazis, this administration...

If you're the cynical type who believes students have a much greater chance of attending elite universities, like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, USC, or UCLA if they're rich, well connected and white, you're right.

I drew this cartoon for The Seattle Times Sunday edition. Washington's retiring Superintendent of Public Instruction, Randy Dorn, might throw his hat into the governors race as an independent. Governor Jay Inslee isn't very popular right now but he's still running for reelection. He'll probably win as the state is very blue. His opponent is... Continue Reading →
To sum up, Washington state had charter schools. Nine across the state to be exact. Then the Supreme Court said they couldn't be funded from the state education budget. This week the state legislature, the House and Senate, passed a funding bill that supports the charter schools. Democrats joined Republicans to push the bill through.... Continue Reading →
Mark Cole is a Republican representative to the Virginia House of Delegates. He represents parts of Spotsylvania County, Stafford County and the city of Fredericksburg. This is the community I live in. We have a lot of insufferable, right wing, intolerant, fundamentalist lunatics in this area. But dammit. All the other Yahoos coordinated and got...
