Justice

Maybe We're Just Screwed, Simple as That

In the last installment of "Big Al's Written Record for the CIA, NSA and FBI", I proposed a national referendum against oligarchy and plutocracy and for democracy and freedom.

That was two days ago. I had done some reading about the vote for independence in Catalonia and became inspired to publicly voice the proposal. I was like, "ya baby, let's have us a referendum! Let's go get us some FREEDOM!! Yippie Kay Yay MFers!"

Rest in Peace, Tahoebasha

Barbara Murphy, who many of us knew as Tahoebasha, passed away on the afternoon of November 1. Tahoe's online activism began on Conyersblog in 2005, where we became close friends. She posted often on Docudharma in the early years of that wonderful progressive website and was a strong and inspiring voice for peace, justice, and equality on Daily Kos and Firedoglake and Facebook.

Everything happens in a context. The actions of Bernie sanders are in one of the most unique contexts in history.

Bernie made a conscious decision to join the Democratic Party knowing more about what it was than we have come to learn now. He knew he had to bite the bullet more than once to try to accomplish something and his accomplishments are beyond anyone's in this day and age.
