I am unfazed by Duterte's violent gesture against me. After all, he dug his own grave today with his personal invitation to the ICC. I welcome the pronouncement of Malacañang that the Philippine Government, at long last, will cooperate with the ICC and Interpol, should they…

The new secretary of genocide.

The challenge, after a loss, is to learn something *new.* Most people aren't doing that right now. They're taking in information and trying to fit that within their prevailing world view. The NEW thing I'm learning is: People do not and will not vote for harm mitigation...

Seniors voted to gut Social Security. Men voted for their wives and daughters to die from miscarriages. Immigrants voted for deportation raids. Poor people voted for tax cuts for billionaires. Women voted to have fewer rights than men. Police voted for a convicted felon.

Everyone must watch all 8 minutes and 24 seconds of this speech by Michelle Obama. It might be the finest I’ve ever heard on the topic of abortion rights, as well as the stakes in this election for American women…and the men who love them. Share widely.
