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.

What Jesus would do
Recalling the humble beginnings of Christ in the straw of a manger,
animals all around, Mary and Joseph not being able to afford a doctor
and there was no Obamacare... Today's regressive conservatives would
likely say they were lazy and shiftless and deny them any food to eat.
They have forgotten the origins of their own professed religion, which
they flout when it comes to values but they do not enact any of them. If
Jesus as a strange beggar came knocking on their door for help he would
be turned away. And that's the thing, the poorest and weakest among us
have Jesus in them too, and deserve our respect and help. With the
regressives set on ending the extension of unemployment benefits a few
days after Christmas, as well as gutting food stamps, we all need to
descend on them with the wrath of Jesus to the moneychangers and tell
them to do what Jesus would do.
