Trying to be a "citizen" in Heinlein's sense of treating the safety of the nation as a personal responsibility. Anybody can be that kind of citizen. Nobody needs permission. It's learning the issues, taking the risks, and doing the work.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Donโ€™t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, thatโ€™d be super.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.

It isnโ€™t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Will someone please ask the 89 million Americans who didn't vote in the last election if they are being affected by anything this administration is doing to the other Americans?

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

The US Let Afghanistan Fall. Now It's Deporting Afghans. As the Trump administration escalates deportations, tens of thousands of Afghans are in the US without permanent legal protections.

"Mustafa served alongside the United States military in Afghanistan. Like so many other Afghans who helped American forces, he later came to the US for its promise of refuge. When I met him recently, though, he had only just left an ICE detention center after months behind bars."
