Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

MIchigan Governor knowingly poisoned his people
See this article, where the Governor appointed an emergency manager to balance Flint's budget. In doing so to save money they switched the water supply from the Lake Huron to the polluted Flint River, which eroded the old pipes thereby releasing lead and poisoning people. And the Governor knew this was happening and didn't stop it until it was too late. Your Republican agenda at work America.
So now the US is being sued by TransCanada
Over rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline, thanks to the Investor State Dispute Settlement section of NAFTA. Meaning the trade agreement's provision allows a corporate to sue a government if it interfere's with its profits. And the arbitration panel overseeing the suit is governed by corporate lawyers who otherwise represent corporate clients in these very same lawsuits. The same provision is in the TPP. Free trade, eh?

Sanders v. Clinton on the economy
See this article. Sanders breaks up the big banks and reinstates Glass-Steagall, Clinton does not. Sanders will invest 3 times Clinton for infrastucture updates and jobs. Sanders miniscule tax hikes on the middle class will increase social security benefits, Clinton will not increase them. Sanders will have free public college tuition by taxing the wealthy, Clinton will not. Sanders is a proud democratic socialist because it works as evidenced by Scandinavian countries, Clinton is a corporate capitalist as witnessed by her contributors and past Senate votes and that system only works for the wealthy.
FBI defintion of terrorism
Now tell me that doesn't apply to the Oregon terrorists? Or the regressive nut jobs that kill abortion clinicians?
Trump supporters are misinformed
And no amount of factual evidence can change their minds, thanks to Faux News and Trump. Also thank the regressive agenda to dumb down our education system. See this article for more info.
Borowitz on the NRA's rights
He does it again in this column, copied below:
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In
testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, National Rifle
Association C.E.O. Wayne LaPierre warned that the N.R.A. would
vigorously oppose any legislation that “limits the sale, purchase, or
ownership of politicians.”
“Politicians pose no danger to the public if used correctly,” said Mr.
LaPierre, who claims to have over two hundred politicians in his
personal collection. “Everyone hears about the bad guys in Congress.
Well, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a vote is a good guy with
a vote. I’m proud to be the owner of many of those guys.”
Mr. LaPierre’s comments drew a sharp rebuke from Carol Foyler, a
politician-control advocate who has spent the past twelve years lobbying
for stricter limits on the sale of politicians.
Senator Warren on the regressive Obamacare repeal vote
Her FB post:
"The Republican-controlled Congress is very proud of themselves for voting to repeal a law that has given millions of uninsured people access to health care. Bragging about repealing a law that makes sure people with cancer and heart disease won't be denied coverage, that lifts lifetime insurance caps, that closes the prescription drug donut hole and that lets kids stay on their parents' heath care plans. And because that's not enough, they're also very proud to defund health care clinics that 2.7 million women and men use every year. The Republicans want everyone to know whose side they stand on, so let's help them. Share their image and let your friends and family know: The GOP wants to take away health care access for women and families."
