On Election Day in the U.S., our economy was the envy of the world. Ten weeks after assuming office post-election, The Economist magazine is calling our economy Ruination Day. Great! 🙄

The barbarians are no longer at the gate; they are sitting in the seats of power. We cannot become a nation content to watch our neighbors “disappeared”without due process. Freedom was never free, and it will not be reaffirmed without a demand from We the People!

Thank you for taking the time to provide me with four articles that offer a more complex, nuanced picture of some of Chomsky’s contradictory views on democracy. 😵💫

GOOD TROUBLE
I support Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who earlier this week repeatedly shouted to POTUS, “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!” The 10 Democrats who joined Republicans in recommending Green’s censure for this breach in decorum need to get a clue: unwarranted cuts will hurt everyone.

“STAND OUT. Someone has to. It is easy to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken” —Timothy Snyder

It’s time for Congress to twist and shout. WTF is DOGE doing looking at individual US treasury records on citizens? Nobody elected Elon Musk the head of any legislative branch of government. The public needs an explanation that can be verified—today!

2 QUESTIONS FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH: (1) How would your life be different if the United States acknowledged the legacy of its original sin: Slavery?
(2) Without being tethered to the social construct of race and the privilege whiteness confers, how would your life be different?

Like the backside of a barnyard animal, we can’t be surprised by what comes out of a political bully’s mouth. What we can do is be precise in the language we use to oppose their agenda. Let’s stop propelling their propaganda by using their terms. Let’s start calling things what they are.

Isn’t it amazing how little has changed in 300 years? ”Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect… “(Jonathan Swift, 1710)

Happy Thanksgiving! I love the intentionality of this holiday. Our world is not perfect, but we are still here and able to make a difference. Remember to set a place for spiritual peace at your table and joy will follow!

ON CIVILITY - I welcome a range of opinions as long as these do not violate Rule 2 of this group’s guidelines: “Treat others with respect.” If I don’t feel someone is a respectful, honest broker of ideas and is also cruel, abusive, or hateful, they’re getting the 🥾.

With the couch winning so many votes, the 50:49 split has put “The Art of War” at the top of my reading list.

WHY I VOTE
I vote to keep faith with my parents and all the ancestors before them who had no say in how they were governed. To me, there never has been a greater experiment than representative government. I believe informed backtalk in the form of a ballot is sacred.
