And our most deadly silence of all? Continuing on with our present course of energy and ecological practices of the status quo of our civilization without any attempts toward a determinative effort to move to a new way of living on this earth. MLK appeared on the world stage with the Montgomery Bus Boycott and then the Civil Rights Movement, Continue Reading

As a participant in the Occupy Movement , now over a decade ago, I am not at all unaware of the many economic dangers of the greatly increased hegemony of the 1% (even more so of the 1% of those 1%), but I continue to be vastly worried at how few people who are warning us about these dangers (which Continue Reading
America should inaugurate MLK, not Trump. I know , he’s no longer with us here, but MLK Day is, and that has more to direct us than that idiot, selfish, bigot ever has or will. And the sold out sycophants who have sold their souls to kiss his a**.
The only thing “Automatic” is that the Chiefs will continue to benefit from the absolutely ridiculous coddling of Patrick Mahomes by NFL officials.
After two wet winters fueled the growth of grasses and brush — ideal kindling for fires — across SoCal mountains and hillsides, the last few months saw an abrupt shift to record-dry conditions. This kind of weather whiplash is a hallmark of global warming. Source: Sammy Roth (LA Times) via For reality – by Bill McKibben – The Crucial Years
Haven’t done this in a while. Back when I first began using “Post Types”, thinking they were going to be big.(It had been 4 years and a couple of months since I last published an “Occupy” Post Type) I had , when I took great pains and many hours to set up this system of 3 Post Types (Regular “Post” Continue Reading

There’s something actually disturbing about “messages of comfort and support” (see https://www.oikoumene.org/news/amid-california-fires-we-have-the-certainty-of-the-accompaniment-of-the-love-of-god) for victims of disasters when there is NO TALK of working on addressing the causes of the conditions that create more and more of these disasters. Of course, there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with this message, such as the one I shared, but when we hear all of Continue Reading
I have many problems with the Democrats arguing this: Trump’s claim that “we had the best economy ever” under him is a lie because the “economy is actually the best ever RIGHT NOW, under Biden, and that it’s ‘proven” by lower unemployment, falling inflation rates, and record Stock Market levels.
