"The No Kings protests act as a detoxification," writes James Greenberg. I agree, and let's hope they act as an inoculation. We've been wounded, but on the other side we will be healed, strengthened; our communal immune system fortified. Democracy must grow or wither. Onward, friends!

Where's the protest against U.S. invasion of Venezuela? Surely drug trafficking is a mere pretext. Oil is the real object. It's a shakedown, no?

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

Let's start a campaign in our state. Then we can enable the state to bargain for lowest prices on pharmaceuticals. This is how Canada got nationwide universal health care--it started in Saskatchewan in 1944, spread to other provinces, and went national in 1984. See www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Every health care system has its strengths and weaknesses, including Canada's. Here's how that nation's system works, why it's admired (and sometimes disparaged) by some in the U.S., and why outcomes ...

"Health insurance is not healthcare. It’s a ruse that restricts healthcare and exploits people for profit. The right path is universal healthcare with Medicare for All," points out Melanie D'Arrigo, E.D. of Campaign for New York Health. --Paraphrased from Brad Reed in CommonDreams (.org) 9-13-2025.

Remember your oath, Marines.

You fought in Belleau Wood, Iwo Jima, and against fascism in WW2.

Trump is making a mockery of the USMC. He's deployed you against American civilians, and now he's turning you into prison guards for concentration camps.

You do not have to follow unlawful orders.
