Remember how fast the Chinese built their coronavirus hospital in Wuhan. Fourteen days, 1000 beds, six acres.

And the US government has yet to step up to the coronavirus plate, nor has it taken any action on the climate crisis, our teetering economy, or institutionalized racism.

So, again, how do we the people organize ourselves? Can we build our own “Wuhan hospital”?

I recently spoke with Ernestina, who I helped to organize our Sanctuary Movement. She said she felt defeated. I said I felt hopeless. But then there was a light, a thought, the conversation shifted and a plan emerged.

The first place I go when I visit caucus99percent.com is the community content section. The phrase virtual community gets tossed around a lot, especially during these social distancing times. And you might say that hippie communes have evolved into what are called intentional communities. But what does community really mean? When have you experienced community? Our conversation continues, below the break, with the story of Clarence Jordan and the story of The Simple Way

Anybody from the Asheville area?

Got one of my own (BernieBro progressive) moving down to Asheville from up here in New Yawk (Albany area) (originally from Connecticut), and could use help with orientation. Email contact is great if a Pub is not your thing. Ray is 55-ish, politically energetic, with your basic New England accent. Should fit right in!

An examination of an old essay and apology

Submitted by Strife Delivery on Wed, 07/11/2018 - 2:28pm

This will be an odd essay for me.

This isn't regarding a new topic or breaking headline. This is something I wrote that looking back perhaps I shouldn't have.

In my essay "Politics of Hate" written back in February here, I went on a rant regarding various things that I hated at the time.

now open for biz! Well, mostly.
Steven D posted a message to some of us here to gauge the interest in any c99 individuals interested in posting a podcast once or twice a week, or just once a month, even, as the mood strikes. For those interested pods need to be limited to 10-15 mins. max., but they can be as short as 3 or 4 minutes. Totally up to you, the c99 podcaster.

A road not taken: major disagreements and the continuity of cohesion

Submitted by Alligator Ed on Tue, 12/19/2017 - 8:26pm

On Friday, I left my home to travel to Marin County, visiting my brother, Alphonse, and his family. As such, I was detached from an apparent brouhaha developing over the issue of sexual harassment, leading to flame wars, outrage, and abandonment of this site.

Why I Am Proud of Caucus99percent

Some of us disagree with some others. We are strong enough to tolerate disagreement. There is no hatred here, and little vitriol that I've seen.

Macabre, murderous circuses like Charlottesville and the corresponding media furor do not shake us from our principles of reason, truth, and civility. They do not destroy our friendships.
