For ‘No Kings,’ maybe we need more than an occasional ‘day’

Millions of Americans will take part in the third 'No Kings Day' multi-pronged protest today, and yet there are those who question the efficacy. ⁠"The needle isn't moving" said one Substack scribe,⁠ and she's not wrong, but she isn't just talking about the last year. 'Occupy Wall Street' was fifteen years ago. FIFTEEN YEARS! On ⁠this week's "Politics Girl" podcast⁠, host Leigh McGowan and guest Ezra Levin opine that it’s […]

(Guest Opinion by Al Pearson) Another Paul Revere Moment

(Guest Opinion by Al Pearson) Another Paul Revere Moment On January 28, 2026, the FBI appeared at the Fulton County Georgia election center with a search warrant for the seizure of all records relating to the 2020 general election.  The seizure seems calculated to empower President Trump to do what Vice President Pence would not and constitutionally could not do on January 6, 2021: reverse the outcome of the 2020 […]

(Guest Opinion by Al Pearson) Elections in Georgia: Why They Can Be Trusted

(Guest Opinion by Al Pearson) Elections in Georgia: Why They Can Be Trusted Donald Trump’s preoccupation with the 2020 presidential election remains very much alive.  In his telling, the Democrats not only stole the 2020 election, they were so “good at cheating” they could do it again in 2026.  This reflects a dismal view of human nature in a society where we trust in the honesty, competence and good will […]

Opinion: Five years is long enough – Georgia’s Election Board must enforce the law

For more than five years, Georgia voters have been told to trust a voting system that does not comply with the most basic laws.  The highly flawed touchscreen system selected by Secretary Raffensperger, and defended for five years by the State Election Board, simply violates multiple federal and state laws, although Raffensperger improperly certified compliance in 2019.  This week, we at Coalition for Good Governance filed a formal complaint with the Georgia State Election Board asking it to do something it has avoided for half […]

National Guard member Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom

Opinion

OPINION: Misuse of National Guard killed a woman not even old enough to do what she was doing in D.C.

Not that you need ANY more information to BE outraged about this tragedy, but did you know that, in 20-year-old Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom's home state of West Virginia, the minimum age to even BECOME a police officer is 21? She was 20. She was 20, in the National Guard, serving essentially in a law enforcement capacity for no rational reason, and was there in camouflage - which camouflages you […]

Opinion: Marjorie Taylor Greene taps out, and (again) she’s making sense to me

I've spent a lot of time the past few weeks marveling at the moderation of one Marjorie Taylor Greene. Whether it's appearing on 'Real Time with Bill Maher' or 'The View,' more recently with Dana Bash on CNN even, the formerly bombastic Greene had found a tone of civility so unlike what we'd seen of her that not many can (or do) believe this is who the "notorious MTG" truly […]
