— 118! Sanders-Endorsing US-House and US-Senate Candidates.
We set up an ActBlue page for the growing list of US House & US Senate candidates-supporting Bernie Sanders on ActBlue. Since the New Hampshire Primary 575+ People have made/pledged over 18,000+ small ($2.50+ average for each candidate) donations to the now 118 Sanders-supporting candidates. It has been magic to see small actions brought together for a larger effect, or... simply….we are….so much more powerful together ….click below to read more

I only learned about this by accident a few weeks ago when searching ActBlue.

I private messaged two people I believe will be able to write about this at TOP.

Here's what I sent them:

Was reading that WTF? Story and was wondering if you knew there is a Joint Daily Kos and Bernie Sanders ActBlue fundraiser.

I found it by accident a few weeks ago.

Corporate capitalism has failed western societies. In the western world, inequality is at its highest on record, the environment is threatened, and local communities have become corporate dependencies. Presently, many businesses in a community are not local, but are franchises of a national or multinational corporation that pays its workers as little as possible, ruins the environment, and sends the profits to investors far away. Many consumers are left isolated individually with no bargaining power.
In order to grow resilient local economies, communities will have to develop local businesses and local organizations to break the stranglehold that multinational corporations have on them.
The cooperative is a form of organization for business or for consumers that works for the betterment of the local community - its people, environment, and its economy. This is the first in a three-part series on co-ops. More below.

While going through my undergraduate program, I became very much interested in the politics of media and media politics. I am not talking so much about how media shape perspective, though I find that interesting, I am talking about ownership structure and how much of a given market media companies own. Robert McChesney, Ben Bagdikian, Sy Hersh (who I named my dog after), Noam Chomsky, et el were very important to my evolution on how I view media, and its place in our society.

Inspired by Bernie today... so I decided that it would be fun to think about the political parties and their various characteristics. I finally realized that they all have effects and general ways they make people react. Yes, they affect some people differently than others, but in the end, they all aim to alter your behavior and outlook.

The Political Parties and Persons are DRUGS. And it's pretty obvious which ones they are when you think about it.
