We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.
—Frances Moore Lappé, excerpt from Time for Progressives to Grow Up

Posts that I especially recommend for days: Saturday & Sunday, December 12 & 13, 2020

  • AOC Schooled By NFL’s Justin Jackson On Forcing Med4all Vote Now! featuring Jimmy Dore blasting AOC (Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) as a careerist--her career comes first rather than needs of her constituents. My reaction: She will definitely lose her position in Congress if she crosses Pelosi. Look what happened to Sen. 
  • How the Media Wants You To Think featuring JP Sears, a comedian, and others performing their versions of fascist collaborators in a 3:17 post on his channel belonging to YouTube. (satire) He also has been threatened by YouTube about the loss of his channel.
