If you want to see change in the direction the nation is heading, this is the best way you can DO something about it. Get out there and vote. One of the greatest rights we have in this nation is our ability to vote. Despite all the messages of disempowerment we receive,
When taking a stand, it is important to be for rather than against. Why does that matter? Because when you are for a thing, you are proactive and working on action. When you are against a thing, you are reactive, and usually working with inaction. Carl Jung said, “What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.” Consciousness creates reality. Because of this truth, when we stand against a thing, since that is where all of our focus
Like everything in life, there are times to be stubborn, and times to be more flexible or yielding. How do you know when to fight and when not to? This is dictated by a combination of logic, reasoning, and emotion. Some fights are on a pretty grand scale. For example, politics in the United States. Resisting the anti-science, pro-business, anti-intellectual rhetoric and policies coming out of Congress and the White House is something of an imperative. If we do not
Are you concerned about the actions President Trump is taking? Do you worry about his possible conflicts of interest, and his ties to Russia, and their hacking of our electoral system? Are you worried about the apparent instability of President Trump, and his unpredictability, utter lack of tact and decorum, and total disregard of protocol? Are you concerned about the choices he’s made for his cabinet? If you answered yes to ANY of these question – it is time
Truth. Most of you reading this know it already. Those who most need to see this, to fundamentally understand it for what it is, probably won’t. And even if they did, they would likely dismiss this as liberal bullshit, or some such. Mexicans are not pouring across our border as though the dam is broken. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Illegal immigrants are not everywhere, and taking your jobs! This is simply a great big lie. Refugees are
One non-violent action we can ALL take: We KNOW that Congress is going to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). I have never understood why, except that it was an Obama idea and thus an affront for whatever reason. I know a LOT of people who benefit from any number of provisions of the ACA, and who are far too likely to suffer if it is taken away. There are even more people I DON’T know that will be
I am sorry if this offends you, but I feel rather strongly about this, so I am going to say it. This is the reality of the situation. We have two choices for President. Trump or Clinton. Unless you agree with a self-aggrandizing, hate-mongering, sexist, racist narcissist, it is in your best interest to vote for Clinton. She may well be the status quo, and a corporate shill, but that is of far less import than we give it. I

It is time to take a stand. Full disclosure: I am a white, straight, non-Christian male. And I believe that EVERYONE deserves equal rights. I do not care in the least if you are white, black, Hispanic, Asian or what-have-you; it does not matter if you are male or female or gender fluid or no gender at all; it doesn’t matter if you are straight, gay, bi, omnisexual or any other option; it is of no matter to me if
Dear haters, bigots, misogynists, and homophobes, Congratulations – you are on the wrong side of history. I am sorry to tell you that your hatred will not change public policy. Blacks, women, homosexuals, Hispanics, Hindis, Muslims, transgendered, fat and thin people and everyone else all will win equality, because that is what is right. There is no “gay agenda”, except maybe they want to be treated like everyone else. There is no Muslim world take-over conspiracy, the vast majority of
