Trout Fisting In America #49 – Elections
In theory it’s the only power any of us actually have, those of us without money, without access to power. No wonder the government wants to keep us from voting (note: all links open in a new tab, b/c there’s a … Continue reading
Trout Fisting In America #48 – Civility
For a nation that implicitly & silently supports mass murder and a white supremacist police state, we sure are sensitive about which words people use. You’d think after all this time people would realize that civility and good manners don’t … Continue reading
Trout Fisting In America #47 – Racism
