That's the British Broadcasting Company, not the Bisbee Breakfast Club, about which more later. The video below just came up in my YouTube feed. It's a feature about the border, the wall, the President and his Party. Click through to see the vid and I'll supply some background.

Six Simple Ideas to Strengthen Democracy in America

Ms. Liberty Bears Six Good Ideas

Fair and reliable elections, an informed citizenry, wide participation in governance -- these are cornerstones of democracy. But the recent election in the U.S.A. has pointed out serious cracks in those stones. Gerrymandered districts weakened voters of one party, and made races non-competitive. Recently-erected hurdles stopped many from voting. Big media focused on the horse race, and ignored policy issues. Persons trafficked in misleading and fake news on social media. And, in the end, demagogy and crackpottery carried the day. What follows are six simple ideas that can, I think, be easily implemented, and that might well go a long way toward fixing those cracks and strengthening our democracy.

NoDAPL Protest, Tucson, November 15, 2016

More than a thousand people gathered in downtown Tucson at twilight to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, the largest outpouring in Arizona of support for Standing Rock (so far). And we didn't forget the fights for Oak Flat and Rio Yaqui, which are ongoing.

Yes, we stand with indigenous people!
