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.

Fact Check: violence on the left and right
Now that Republicans were targeted in the recent DC shooting the right is saying that the left is equally to blame for violent attacks. Fact checking that proves it is wrong. Granted there are some violent groups on the left like Antifa, discussed in the article. And they too should be, and are, condemned for their methods. But the facts, according to J.J. McNabb, an expert on political extremism at George Washington University: "In the past 10 years when you look at murders committed by domestic
extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are
responsible for about 74 percent of those murders." So no, the left is not as bad as the right on this one, not even close.
