Written by KARINE VANN Posted February 17, 2020 Filed Under: News, News to Us, NEWS+OPINIONS

I WAS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND CAN CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING CHUCK TODD SAYS IS COMPLETELY STUPID

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted February 12, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, NEWS+OPINIONS

My point is to draw a comparison between the horse-race repetition and robotic uniformity of the kind of trash commercial bigs, from putrid right-wing radio to elitist broadsheets like the Post, reported out of New Hampshire this week, and the unique features that our squad produced.

NUCLEAR DECISIONS: THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES DON’T ALL AGREE ON

Written by Posted February 11, 2020 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

“Right now, we just don’t know what to do with nuclear waste. It lasts 100,000 years ... It’s shockingly toxic. We’re going to have to figure out what to do with that waste for sure. I mean, 100,000 years."

A DISABLED REPORTER WALKS INTO A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY EVENT… 

Written by LAURA KIESEL Posted February 11, 2020 Filed Under: FEATURES, News, NEWS+OPINIONS

I attended three carefully chosen events with three separate candidates over the course of 24 hours: Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders. All three candidates stood out for me because they have been more actively courting the disability vote, as compared to their peers in the candidate pool.

SMALL BUT LOUD: THE GRANITE STATE’S RELIGIOUS LEFT REMINDS YOU TO VOTE

Written by CLAIRE SADAR Posted February 11, 2020 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

“The biggest misconception about progressive people of faith is that not wearing religion on your sleeve means it’s not important to you. Westboro Baptist Church’s faith is not more real because they scream the loudest about it."

NO GOING BACK: THE VOLUME ON XENOPHOBIA AND RACISM IS ON BLAST

Written by IRENE MONROE Posted July 24, 2019 Filed Under: COLUMNS, NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

"President Trump’s proclivity for racist remarks comes as no surprise. His comment stating a preference for immigrants coming from Scandinavian countries like Norway, rather than from Africa and Haiti, which he depicts as “shithole” countries, is based solely on his xenophobia."
