Are the Streets of #Chicago Showing Us the Future of #American #Democracy?
When federal agents turn weapons on citizens, it’s not just a local scandal — it’s a national reckoning.
Thom Hartmann

..."Federal agents, dressed like soldiers and armed with the weapons of war, rammed a civilian vehicle on 105th Street, using a maneuver outlawed by Chicago police, and then fired tear gas into a crowd of bystanders and local officers."...

#NOKINGSDAY — SEEKING BETTER #SIGNS
Tell #America what we’re FOR, not just what we’re against

..."The audience is always the American people who are trying to decide who they can trust; who will not embarrass them. If you win them, you win power at the box office and power to make positive change. Everything else is a waste.”...

Republicans are holding American's health hostage

Crypto: destroying the world so
certain people can feel superior
AI: destroying the world so certain
people can carve out and hoard
even more wealth

We are rightfully concerned about the
effects of intelligent machines on our
lives and livelihoods. Yet, to some
extent, we are already there. Not machines
with human intelligence, but those
humans with machine intelligence that
push themselves to the top, ruling
from their obsession with wealth.

Within

It’s not the isms that are destroying
us, our better lives
It’s the humans – notably unreliable
often cruel
just cause it feels good to let loose
that pent up pain into sister’s face
Oh! boy! Life is not your bitch,
is it?
Not due to projects to demean you,
but that you never learned to be
the you you need.
The one that can heal you,
find the joy of kindness,
set you free.

Do the work you want to see
done. If you don’t know how,
learn; or find the people who can
and help them get together

I have finished the first draft of my novella length "Chirona: a word opera"

more projection -- from the actual terrorists

We could, even now, work together,
figure out how to survive,
even thrive, overcome what we have
wrought from denial and some desire
to divide and fight,
destroy resources out of spite.
Why would such abysmal jerks
deserve the joys life might allow?

We see it all fall apart before us
like some 3D documentary of
Homo Sapien collapse.

How is it that cruelness prevails,
that meanness means popularity,
that babies are exhorted to quell
emotion before they know their own
humanity?
Who tells us how to see each other,
how to be?

I think we can agree that sexuality
is not binary.
Do we have to get to the coming
technology that will make reproduction
nonbinary before we get beyond this
particular accident of birth, chromosomal
sex, no longer defines human lives?

there are always those who seek power
for their own ends
if we don’t have a government that we
make work for us, they will

when The People act, we can win
