Bleed, Grease, Die, Rise
Submitted by progressive1982 on Sat, 06/04/2016 - 4:13amMy body is the sacrifice
My person is the fuel
My arms give way to motion
My legs push the machine ahead
My mind gets sorted
My thoughts blend with the software
My heart gets taken to the center
My soul works from the hardware
I scream and it's the output
I cry and it's the anomaly
I fight for that which I believe
I am cursed by everyone around me

Yes, heavy snark, but it's almost getting that bad over there.

America's Last Chance: The 2016 Presidential Campaign of Bernie Sanders
Submitted by Rusty1776 on Fri, 06/03/2016 - 8:59pmElecting Bernie Sanders is America's last chance to redeem herself, to confront the Oligarchy that President Carter and so many others have warned about, to shut down the crime syndicates of GoldmanSachs and CitiGroup, of Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, to put an end to the greed and lawlessness of the corporate establishment, to break the entrenched power of the degenerate political establishment.

"We Do Not Accept Those Choices!"
Submitted by Nightprowlkitty on Fri, 06/03/2016 - 8:35pmOne of the most difficult conversations I've had to have during this election season is my answer to those who claim that Donald Trump is so clearly worse than Hillary that if Hillary wins the nomination it would be crazy not to vote for her to defeat Donald Trump.
I have no feeling to defend either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. I refuse to accept that framing in toto. It's thinking in the box to such an extent that I can't take it seriously.
A Weed Killer we may need to "Weed" Out
Submitted by progressive1982 on Fri, 06/03/2016 - 8:30pmSo there's this weed killer used just about everywhere in the U.S. For some details:
Atrazine is the second-most widely used herbicide in the United States. Manufactured by the chemical giant Syngenta, farmers have sprayed, on average, 70 million pounds of the weed killer on cropland across the country for the last twenty years. Half of the corn grown in the United States — some tens of millions of acres — is treated with atrazine.
Busy Day on the Dem Platform I/P front
Submitted by FischFry on Fri, 06/03/2016 - 8:03pmHowdy. Just made the leap to caucus99percent (not entirely voluntary, as I've been handed a long timeout at the big Orange). I have no clue what the audience is, but today was a busy day for me on the internet, responding to developments regarding the Democratic platform and the Israel/Palestinian question. I thought I might share some observations. I expect it'll go over better here, anyway.
