About My Blog

My blog is about history, popular culture, politics and current events from a democratic socialist and Irish republican perspective. The two main topics are Northern Ireland on one hand and fighting anti-Semitism, racism and homophobia on the other. The third topic is supporting the Palestinians, and there are several minor topics. The three main topics overlap quite a bit. I have to admit that it’s not going to help me get a graduate degree, especially because it’s almost always written very casually. But there are some high-quality essays, some posts that come close to being high-quality essays, political reviews of Sci-Fi TV episodes (Star Trek and Babylon 5), and a unique kind of political, progressive poetry you won't find anywhere else. (there are also reviews of episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and reviews of Roseanne)



(The "Table of Contents" offers brief descriptions of all but the most recent posts)


(If you're really cool and link to my blog from your site/blog, let me know) (if you contact me, use the word "blog" in the subject line so I'll know it's not spam)

YOU NEED TO READ THE POST "Trump, Netanyahu, and COVID-19 (Coronavirus)" here. It is a contrast of the two on COVID-19 and might be helpful in attacking Trump. And see the middle third of this about Trump being a for-real fascist.

A GREAT WAY TO OPPOSE TRUMP!!

In late Oct. I stumbled onto an ad for a “funny t-shirt web-site” (as I call them). One of the pictured shirts had something that caught my attention and what I saw was a shirt that said:

"VOTE PALPATINE 2024

MAKE THE GALAXY GREAT AGAIN"

With an image of the Death Star.

Palpatine was the Sith Emperor in the Star Wars movies.

I ended up buying six of them (one for each color except yellow, which I think might be so light that you’d have difficulty reading the text) and have been wearing them almost every day since then. Although it’s been cold out and few people have seen me wearing it, I have gotten about 5 very positive responses in Boulder County.

I am not sure how many Star Wars fans there are in the US, but I think this might be a great way to oppose Trump.

You should buy one, here.

Tom
