No Help Is Coming, What Now?

No Help Is Coming, What Now?

By Chris Ladd April 14, 2019 April 14, 2019

West Virginia’s Bargain With The Devil

West Virginia’s Bargain With The Devil

By Chris Ladd February 23, 2019 February 24, 2019

Post-election interviews with Mountain State voters were painful, not worth a link. It feels terrible to resent impoverished, struggling people.

Now It Gets Ugly: Attack the Money

Now It Gets Ugly: Attack the Money

By Chris Ladd November 11, 2018 November 11, 2018

As Trump and the Republicans scramble to escape the consequences of their crimes, we should ensure that this fight extends all the way to their bank accounts. Make bigotry expensive and it will recede from public life.

The Most Important Election of Our Lifetimes: 2022

The Most Important Election of Our Lifetimes: 2022

By Chris Ladd October 20, 2018 October 20, 2018
