A coercive fascist government is clearly a problem.

But an equally big problem is that orgs such as CBS, ABC, UC Berkeley, Paul/Weiss, and others are capitulating. Every one is a domino encouraging others to do the same.

Here's how to protest ABC's censorship of Jimmy Kimmel.

Being an American means a
being engaged in a never-ending struggle for freedom, liberty, and justice for all. It is our birthright and our burden. It is our past, present, and future.

Let us celebrate and dedicate ourselves to this struggle today and every day.
July 4 seems like a good day to try this one out.

I recommend an early gem, Supply Lines of the Revolution (Northern Theater). I’m late to the party on this one, and you can be as well. It’s great.

It is hoped there will be more storks in future years, if the project in Staffordshire continues its success.
