What is Mifepristone and The Comstock Act?

Mifepristone, also known as RU-486, is a medication used for medical abortion (termination of pregnancy). It is a synthetic steroid that blocks the action of progesterone, a hormone necessary for the maintenance of pregnancy. By blocking progesterone, mifepristone causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.

Tornadoes And Climate Change

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Governor of Arkansas, is now faced with realities that fly in the face of her inflammatory partisan rhetoric. Her state was ravaged by tornadoes (climate change) and now she’s asking for federal help (socialism). At least the Governor has enough sense to know when to put down empty rhetoric to secure aid for the people of her state. For the uninitiated, here is how climate change impacts tornadoes. PS-it will continue to worsen.

Is Democracy Under Attack?

Yesterday, we learned that former President Donald Trump will be indicted. The charges appear to revolve around Trump paying hush money to a porn star in order that she remained quiet before an election. This is a campaign finance violation among other things.

What is it?

White Supremacy And The Threat To America

In the recent past, it has been easy to assume white supremacy is a fringe idea that may have had prominence in America’s checkered past but is no longer a threat. This perception feels naive now. The days of the Ku Klux Klan marching down Main Street may be over, but now they are hiding in plain sight.
