They Came for the Press, but I wasn’t a Journalist, So I didn’t Speak UP.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” -Second Amendment, U.S. Constitution- Read that again. I know a lot of people who have spent their entire adult lives, politically, fixated on that one sentence. They haveContinueContinue reading “They Came for the Press, but I wasn’t a Journalist, So I didn’t Speak UP.”

Yes, we WILL!

I have never had any doubt that the American people could stop Trump and his sycophantic mob from taking total control of our country. Could. I have not always been all that convinced that we Would. Trump is a bully and a coward, and he is surrounded by more of the same. He has beenContinueContinue reading “Yes, we WILL!”

This is How We Get There

In the aftermath of the killing of Rene Good by a federal ICE agent, this essay reflects on protest, nonviolence, and the moral stakes of resistance in the Trump era. Drawing on recent demonstrations in Minneapolis and the Midwest, it examines whether violence in language, even when physical violence is rejected, undermines both the strategic effectiveness and the spiritual integrity of movements for justice. Through the lens of radical love, somatic healing, and the teachings of figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Valarie Kaur, and Loretta Ross, the piece asks what it means to confront authoritarianism without becoming hardened by it.

The Golden Age?

A clear look at how “prosperity” is being defined and who it actually benefits. Using long-term consumer spending data, this piece contrasts hard economic facts with political spin, showing how gains have increasingly flowed to the top while the majority struggle just to get by. It challenges readers to question who today’s economy is really working for and why scapegoating has become a distraction from widening inequality.

The GOOD In U.S.

A reflection on where the country is headed and the choices still in front of us. This piece argues that while the United States is facing a deep democratic and moral crisis, renewal is still possible if people reject apathy, resist authoritarianism, and take responsibility for rebuilding a fairer, more just society together. The question is not what has been lost, but how we respond now.

The RENEE GOOD Act

This essay argues that the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and ICE laid the groundwork for a police state that now threatens everyone’s freedom. Using the killing of Renee Nicole Good as a turning point, it calls for repealing the Homeland Security Act, restoring civil liberties, and rejecting fear-based politics. The piece urges collective action to honor those harmed by unchecked federal power and to demand a future grounded in dignity, equality under the law, and true constitutional freedom.
