“We will find a way to make a way out of no way”

The United States has a long history of political repression. That does not minimize what is going down right now, especially what is happening in Portland. No, what I want to convey is that what we are seeing is not out of the historic norm. In fact, this is what…

On COVID: We Are The Silent Majority, We Are Sane

How To Work A Coronavirus Protest Con

“Blow up the bags of sham” — Jean Arp Protest organizers and right-wing media portray this week’s anti-shelter-in-place protests as organic dissent led by ordinary people with no other agenda than pursuit of liberty, want of work, and blah blah blah.
