It was great talking live today with astronaut and social entrepreneur Ron Garan. He has a profound understanding of what it will take for humanity to evolve beyond this critical inflection point at which we find ourselves. Much of what he learned came from epiphanies gleaned while working both at the bottom of the ocean and in the further reaches of outer space. How fortunate we are to have his w...

In an era when cynicism and despair can feel overwhelming, how do we recover the firebrand spirit needed for effective resistance without losing our moral center? Marianne Williamson talks with historian Harvey J. Kaye about Thomas Paine's role in turning rebellion into revolution, the power of education in nonviolent movements, and why history can be both instruction and inspiration. Plus, why th...

Who are the techno billionaires who have decided to put their money behind the destruction of democracy as we know it, to be replaced by a corporate authoritarian state? Who are they, what is their vision, and what are they doing to effectuate it?

When hate is loud, love cannot afford to whisper. When forces of oppression are on the move, lovers of freedom must respond. When those who seek to replace democracy with theocracy are gaining ground, those who are sworn to preserve and protect democracy must stand our ground. Jesus, of course, was neither oppressor nor hater nor promoter of theocracy. There are those who claim to speak for him at...

When I read Madeleine Albright's book FASCISM: A Warning, I became deeply aware that what happened before could happen again. And it could happen here. But what is fascism, really? Is it hyperbole to make any mention of Hitler, to draw a comparison between today's politics and the Third Reich? The issue is critical. Nuance is important, but history's lessons are important too. History is a great i...

Christian Nationalism is now a hot topic in the United States. It is not a religious movement articulating the love and teachings of Jesus as they relate to public policy. Rather, it is a political movement that bears little resemblance the teachings of the gospels - healing the sick, feeding the hungry, helping the poor, and being good to the stranger seem to have fallen by the wayside - and prom...

When I was growing up, my mother believed the food she fed her family was safe for us to consume. In fact, the 1950's was just the beginning of the corporate takeover of agriculture and food production in the United States. Over the next thirty years it would culminate in Big Ag, Big Chem, and Big Food all having their hey dey producing corporate profits at the expense of American's health. In a p...

Israel has begun a ground offensive in Gaza City that promises a new round of horror in an already existing humanitarian disaster. Despite widespread global condemnation, Netanyahu continues doing what he is doing to carry out his Right Wing messianic vision for Israel. Unfortunately, with Trump - just as with Biden - the U.S. continues to send financial support for the Israeli effort. While our S...

On September 5, 2018, an anonymous Op Ed appeared in the New York Times entitled I am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration. Obviously that caused a stir, followed by the publication of a book by the same author called A Warning. Someone was yelling from the inside: Get away from this man as fast as you can. You get the drift. Ultimately the Anonymous author revealed himself to be...

I've been a fan of Sam Daley Harris for many years. His thinking and activism has motivated and inspired my own efforts in the non-profit world. An organization he founded called RESULTS is a citizen lobby dedicated to creating the political will to end poverty and hunger. His work has literally saved people's lives. He founded and now leads Civic Courage , providing all of us the opportunity to m...

There's a general consensus about a few things regarding AI: It's here and it's not going anyplace. The world will never be the same. It's extremely convenient to use at times, though people should realize that sometimes it lies. The environmental damage it causes is huge. In the hands of corporations like Palintir, it's already being used for what could be government control and totalitarian purp...

From deporting innocent citizens to criminalizing homelessness, America's government today is breaking laws and normalizing cruelty. Tens of thousands of America's unhoused population work part or even full time. Many have children. When homeless encampments are removed and people's belongings trashed, how are those people to keep their jobs? How are the children to go to school? The level of trau...

Earlier today I posted a video about the shameless Congressional redistricting plan going on in Texas. I said I'd be back with my interview with Beto O'Rourke, so here it is! He's filled with great information and I'm glad to share it. No one need feel helpless in the face of Trump's onslaught, because there's a lot we can do. But We the People need to do it. Beto's organization POWERED BY PEOPLE...
