A quick note from Taylor Harris: This installment detours from my typical style of sharing actual events from my life and trying to make sense of them. What you’ll find here is satire.

Communities living near mines often bear the brunt of pollution, environmental degradation, and the economic instability brought by boom-and-bust cycles, while end-users and proprietors enjoy the economic and environmental gains.
“Moving to the center would enable Democrats to confront [Trump] more aggressively and effectively because voters would see them as credible.” — From “The Partisans Are Wrong: Moving to the Center Is the Way to Win” by The New York Times Editorial Board

American politics today can seem to be dominated by extremes. President Trump is carrying out far-right policies rooted in white supremacy and open brutality, while some of the country’s highest-profile Democrats identify as democratic socialists—two exactly equal sides of the same coin. To those of you who are not writing this editorial, moderation probably feels a little outdated.

A mass movement against the Trump administration is essential, but no one should take an Iraq War booster’s advice.

Jonathan Morrison, the new head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reportedly worked for Apple’s top-secret self-driving car project — but won’t say for sure.
Democracy should mean the rule of the people. But in modern Britain, democratic will is often subverted by the rule of money. Financial oligarchy and political democracy are incompatible. This is the deep contradiction at the heart of capitalist ‘democracy’. On the one hand, the intrinsic equality of universal suffrage guarantees every citizen the same […]
This Labour government would have banned the Labour movement – alongside all the other protests that secured our freedoms. Imagine a movement arising in this country that seeks to overthrow established power. Imagine that it begins with a series of rebellions, in Scotland and south Wales perhaps, that shut down workplaces, confront police and soldiers […]

Wait, when they said they were going to dismantle the Department of Education, they were talking about, like, America’s Department of Education? The one that funds our schools? Shoot. Our kids will have to learn how to read from the back of cereal boxes. But at least the cereal doesn’t have Red Dye No. 2 in it. And as we all know, the libs are OBSESSED with Red Dye No. 2. Owned!
