WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Jonathan Capehart on Santa Monica

One of my favorite journalist-thinkers, Jonathan Capehart, has some thoughts on the recent Santa Monica shootings.  It's in the Washington Post's  "Post Partisan" section.  I'm posting a link because we need the mitigation of gun violence to remain high on our priorities list.  We can't allow it to disappear from the consciousness of the country or from the "to do"lists of our elected representatives.  This horrifying "incident" has gotten little attention.  "Ho hum, only a few people killed" is not where we want to be.   It seems to me it would be a good "jumping off place" for bringing the background check bill back—for passage this time!
