Dear David,

The Democratic Party is a party of the billionaires and war. How else can we explain their decision to force the longest government shutdown in history, with dire consequences for federal public-sector workers and millions of poor people, and gain absolutely NOTHING for us? They held the shutdown just long enough for the 2025 elections to get done, to win some electoral battles against Trump. Then they picked a group of Democratic Senators who are either retiring or are not up for re-election in 2026 to be the ones to vote to allow the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies to expire, which will cause working people's healthcare premiums to skyrocket.

The 'Peace Movement' still alive and well. Maybe it's you that's missing?

Love this place. Truth reigns. For the most part, anyway. But still seeing here and there 'the peace movement has been missing for the last 8 years', 'where is the peace movement ?, but you know, sorry, but hey, fck you. Where are you? The peace movement has continued on from the 60's. Sorry if you left it. Sorry if you never joined. Sorry if you are ignorant of it's workings.

Just read Steven's excellent essay sharing his family recent healthcare experiences.

As usual when I read this type of news I am motivated to stave off depression by going to my favorite antidote, the website or twitter stream of PHNP .

I feel like I am in a waking nightmare, with so much happening that seems to be rolling us back to the bad old days.

Back in the 80's we once heard Aussie Dr. Helen Caldicott speak in Austin while she was on a tour promoting doing away with nuclear weapons. She said Americans were suffering from 'psychic numbing' with all the fail and catastrophes that were surrounding each day, and thus were not taking the necessary action destroy nuclear weapons.
