Help KY Get Mitch’s Knee Off ALL Our Necks

By DerbyRose August 2, 2023Radicalized Republicans

Daniel Cameron wants to be Kentucky's next governor. No, not for an election in 2024, but in 2023. Kentucky is one of three states, all red, that has a governor's election in this off year. In just three months! THIS IS URGENT! Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron lied, and lied multiple times, when he explained why a grand jury decided not to charge any police officer with a crime for killing Breonna Taylor, according to this article in Intelligencer. Not only does Cameron want to be Kentucky's next governor, but Mitch McConnell wants him to be as well. Of course…

Kentucky’s Largest School Board Under Attack

By DerbyRose October 29, 2022Radicalized Republicans

Liberty Caucus/Election Deniers/MAGA Extremists/White Nationalists. Some would even call them Fascists. Whatever you call them, they are dangerous. And four of them are running for each of the open seats in the largest school district in Kentucky. WE MUST STOP THEM AT ALL COSTS. #ByAnyMeansNecessary Their campaigns have been supported by dark money special interest groups from out of state, such as the ones documented in a 42-page complaint that was filed with KREF on Sept. 9, 2022. To date, the leaders of the groups behind the right-wing candidate endorsements have been unable to be served by KREF officials. District…

Justice for Omari Cryer

By DerbyRose May 25, 2022Issues, Radicalized Republicans

Today, President Biden signed a long-overdue Executive Order on policing. Unfortunately, it came five days too late to protect Omari Cryer, the 25-year old Black man who was gunned down by US Marshals in Louisville, Kentucky's West End Friday morning. The night before, VICE News aired a damning expose about the corruption, theft and cover-ups taking place within the Louisville Metro Police Department, including new insight into what happened the night Breonna Taylor was murdered, and more unanswered questions. It's been a busy news cycle since we learned the results of our local primary races last Tuesday, which I recap…

Justice for Breonna Taylor

By DerbyRose May 19, 2022Issues

Cover photo is from Aaliyah's Lost Mind: A no-knock situation, available on Amazon. UPDATE: The morning after I made post, following the most damning of VICE's two-part series aired, US Marshals shot and killed a Black man in the back and left his dead body laying in an alley in the hot sun, with no answers for family members, for hours. A similar "power play" was used on our community two years prior when the National Guard was brought in during our peaceful protests and one of them shot and killed local business owner David McAtee, and is too eerily…

KY Primary: Win Some – Lose Some

By DerbyRose May 17, 2022Dark-Money Dems, McGarvey, Scott

Favorite son Charles Booker will be taking on Rand Paul in the November 8 election. Charles should have won in 2020 to run against McConnell, but we took our eyes off Kentucky before the primary was over and he lost. Booker had more voters turn out than Amy McGrath in the 2020 primary, but due to voter suppression and disenfranchisement (we documented it), he didn't have enough votes at the end of the day. Milquetoast McGrath took on Mitch in the General, only to lose badly. I still believe Charles would have won the General if we'd have given him…

Happy Mother’s Day

There's not much we can say to draw more attention to how tone-deaf Congressman John Yarmuth's endorsement of another mediocre white man to "protect the seat," than to hear it straight from his own mouth. I can't remember if I shared this video clip in my last post, but even if I did, it's worth repeating until everyone in Louisville has had a chance to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TunFEJSNHAc&feature=youtu.be Instead of recognizing that no one can represent voices of those missing from the tables and back rooms, from Washington DC to Louisville, KY, better than a proven progressive mother like Attica…

Louisville Dems should get behind Attica Scott to replace retiring Congressman John Yarmuth before it’s too late

By DerbyRose April 30, 2022Alternative Candidates, Scott

The only Democrat to represent Kentucky in Washington DC is retiring. But instead of Congressman John Yarmuth getting behind the progressive Black female KY House Representative with a proven track record pushing back on outsiders, predators and grifters, and who had already filed to run for the seat months earlier, the supposedly progressive white male decided to recruit and endorse another good old white boy, Senator Morgan McGarvey, in order to "keep from losing the seat." To whom, John? A Black woman? Do you not even realize what you just said? But then when asked about the optics of favoring…

Establishment Dems are wearing no clothes

By DerbyRose April 26, 2022McGarvey, Scott

The Courier Journal published an article today, but unfortunately, it's only available to subscribers. I've made a PDF of it until I hear back from the author or paper about making it accessible to all, especially since it's the only people the limited access could be protecting is white cis male establishment dems, which are the paper's favorites. Or at least, that's how it looks from here. https://www.alleyesonkentucky.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Kentucky-3rd-Congressional-District_-Morgan-McGarvey-vs.pdf One of the quotes near the end of the article says, "You can’t predict if Black voters will support someone by talking to a few people, even if they're prominent residents,"Still, McGarvey’s…

Hey, at least the GOP is honest!

As I start to share links to this website while it's still in development to ask people I trust to review and provide feedback, I suspect more will learn about it and find it. This means there will be people who are not happy about the site and what it contains, and there will be efforts to discredit, detract and change the subject. Don't let them. As we've learned from experience, these detractors are either the predators themselves, people who are employed to enable and empower them, or "useful idiots" who are easily gaslit into doing their bidding. As time…
