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 checking McConnell's ties to Russian contributor
According to this fact check, "Blavatnik’s company, Access Industries, gave $5.25 million to various conservative super PACs in the 2016 election cycle — including $1.5 million to the McConnell-affiliated Senate Leadership Fund." Blavatnik is tied "to Oleg Deripaska — a Russian businessman who had been sanctioned by the Treasury Department." According to the Mueller Report Deripaska is described as a "Russian oligarch [who…] allegedly received updates on then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign through Paul Manafort." What did their money buy from McConnel? "Blavatnik co-owns a company that has a 26.5 percent stake in Deripaska’s aluminum company, Rusal, according to reporting from Bloomberg. In April, Rusal announced plans to open a new aluminum plant in McConnell’s home state of Kentucky." Pay to play with Russians, plain and simple, aka treason.
