Another World Is Possible
Don’t we wish the US oligarchy were ancient history instead of daily reality? The term “oligarchy” applies to the US because of the military-industrial-congressional-insurance-incarceration-MEDIA-complex in our country. Too few people have too much money which creates too much power over our lives and those of our children and communities and planet. Change is coming, however, […]
Image by kalhh from Pixabay My wish for the new year is that we might … What might get in the way? “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido.”“The people united will never be defeated.” BUT, the people divided WILL be defeated. This haiku came to me last week: Divide and conquer,a device that hurts us […]
Photo from World Without Exploitation I don’t think the women will shut up. It’s so wrong, and the women want to do what they can so that other young women are not used the way they were. “Courage is contagious” is a phrase that has stayed with me since I heard it in this Democracy […]
I wish I could prove to you the truth behind all of the lies told about other countries in the Americas, but I cannot, it’s too vast.

We can grow from this experience. Only recently has the US started to acknowledge the possibility that we have […]
Trifecta state governments across the nation present an opportunity to exert strong pressure toward what you want — not just what you oppose! It’s a chance to pressure those governments that are “on your side” — rather than focus on what you don’t want. PRO-TRUMP? I know I have beloved friends and family — brothers […]
