Every time I look at the current Supreme Court, I think of all the times I tried telling fellow  progressives who weren?t going to vote for Clinton, ?but the Supreme Court!!!?   And here we are.  Voting is about tactics.  Have ambitious and radical projects.   Build them, make them, support them.  Have the courage to turn the force of the river.  Make change.  And, yes, Biden is, imho, criminally wrong about many things.  As was Clinton.   But in the meantime don?t let Trump get a second term.  There is so much at stake for so many people.  So many people.   If Trump is re-elected and enacts project 2025, and you didn?t help to keep him out of office, how will you live with yourselves?

Feels like it’s more to do with alternatives than negations.

Now we’re forced to reckon with global social democracy, which seems to bother some folks, as Max fluidly described.

Here’s hoping people can see where they overlap with their local communities.

Somehow the verses (if you can call them such) from Ministry’s “N.W.O.” simultaneous with Local Native’s cover of Talking Heads’s “Warning Signs” lingers in my ears.

Peace ya’ll,  Louis
