I wanted this to be a Trump-free zone today, but I can't not mention that Trump – the leading Republican in the polls, in case you forgot, and very much the spokesman for the party's heart, soul, and base – is big with white supremacists. That should tell you something. Anyway, on we go…

Frankly Curious: Fascists and the power elite share common goals.

The Rude Pundit: Cops need to narc out other cops for change to happen.

The Brad Blog: The fight against voting rights goes to SCOTUS.

Alas, a Blog: Anti-transgender discrimination continues to be rampant.

Happy Friday!
