  • America is dying: three steps to bring us back from the brink   3 years 35 weeks ago

    Walls and guns were to protect the inauguration, only after an attempted coup by the Republican Party. A coup attemt that was organized and well financed by the Republican Party.

  • America is dying: three steps to bring us back from the brink   3 years 35 weeks ago

    Hopefully, President Biden did not paint himself into a corner with his mask mandate in Federal property. If that is to be the case there should not be an uncovered face seen for at least 100 days. That decision may be a bit of a faux pas and come back to haunt anyone who violates that mandate.

    I also noted the right-wing was quick to point out speaking to the left, "for a group that is anti-gun and anti-wall they sure brought in a lot of guns and walls for the inauguration."

    Probably best to tread on eggshells for a few days.

  • America is dying: three steps to bring us back from the brink   3 years 35 weeks ago

    The skills required for world class education (quality learning and teaching) are the most important that a human can acquire, thus investing in our educational commons is the most important use of our tax dollars. Without role model education available to all Americans, we will be subject to the whims of the oligarchs who will trash our collective healthcare and the livability of our planet. As long as the 21st Century fascists are empowered to control our government, our elected and appointed officials will continue to ruin our general welfare. Therefore, our citizens must stop the mechanisms of bribery and coercion that oligarchs wield over our democracy. Then we can get about the business of doing exactly what Thom proposes.

  • "Trumpism" is just reinvented Reaganism with added brutality   3 years 35 weeks ago

    Let's all hope the Biden/Harris admin. can deliver some benefits the workers really need, like peace, healthcare, green jobs, to name but a few. Most of all, we the people need truth about who and what this nation is, and how it treats most of the globe in its persuit of ever increasing wealth.

    Admitting we're an empire would be a good start.

    900+ military bases around the globe, and we're supposed to fear China and Russia, or whoever is the villian of the day is.

  • The distressing truth: Why white people are embracing fascism   3 years 35 weeks ago

    The wealthy must keep the mules working persuing the carrot, to keep them in their place.

    It's a CLASS war, and always has been.

    All other issues are distractions.

    Speaking of paying for things.

    Have you noticed that you are getting more and more things to pay for

    foisted on your backs? More paperwork as well as the corporations

    sit back and let YOU do the paperwork.

    They pay less, or no taxes so YOU pay their bills.

    And then whine and cry if you ask for a handout.

    Slydell has a great idea of increasing the Board of Governors for the Post Office to get rid of Dejoy. I hope someone repeats it on the airwaves.

  • America is dying: three steps to bring us back from the brink   3 years 35 weeks ago

    Sadly! We have our own home grown ISIS under our nose and we will not see!

  • America is dying: three steps to bring us back from the brink   3 years 35 weeks ago

    Also, Biden MUSt increase the number of board members of the Board of Governors fotr the post office so that we can get rid of DeJoy! The Board NORMALLY consists of 9 members appointed by the President with advice and consent of the senate. The nine governors select the postmaster general who becomes a member of the board, and those 10 select the Deputy Postmaster General. Democrats control the senate. Let's get this done, now!

    "If it bleeds, it leads."

    That's the unfortunate fact of ad-sponsored "news" manipulated by giant monopolies with the singleminded goal of making as much money as possible by attracting as many eyeballs as possible, truth be damned. A disjointed jumble of fast-paced sensationalism that barely scratches the surface of current events is what passes nowadays as "informing" the public -- consumers ever more addicted to the quick-and-easy hits of dopamine induced by a culture of violent entertainment, conveniently provided by those same media monopolies, completing their circle of lies by omission.

    By design, citizens are endlessly distracted from fully realizing the foundational power structures of Big Money and Big Lies that corrupt society. If serious students of history and contemporary news are not heard in the full context of the bigger picture then we are left with the shoot-em-up fantasies that appeal to our darker nature and the plastic lives of feel-good sitcoms that appeal to our yearning for escapism. We are capable of so much more than that.

    Hidden in the blizzard of shallow infotainment are the often thankless efforts of earnest truthtellers and scholars, such as Thom, who do the hard work of actual investigative journalism, providing the background and platforms to disseminate the sometimes unpleasant truths (for example, a power-hungry Republican Party slaved to the interests of the wealthy one percent) that move society forward, hopefully in a more positive direction.

    In a typical 24-hour news cycle of blaring headlines and cheap thrills, there is little space left for in-depth analyses that strive to uncover the deeper truths behind the fascinating yet often tragic stories of our lives amidst the harsh yet wonderful realities on a pale blue dot lost in a strange and magnificent universe.

    Information is neither positive nor negative; it just is. Conditioned human thought is what colors it, correctly or incorrectly.

    With DeVos out, a strong proponent of net neutrality heading the FCC, maybe the end of private prisons and a president who understands climate change maybe we've passed the nadir. It will be an uphill fight but outling what has to be done is the first big step. Good discussion of some of the many things that must be done. At bottom I'd add (I am an educator, after all) decent teaching from elementary school on. As frightened conservatives in the '60s, a population with the facts and willing to use them can't be fooled. To paraphrase Robert Heinlein, you can't stop a thinking person from using his mind, you can only kill him.

    Today's blog is more positive than the title suggests.

    Good job Sue. Much needed.

  • "Trumpism" is just reinvented Reaganism with added brutality   3 years 35 weeks ago

    Thank you, Sue, I will do that. Beating a dead horse does nothing to improve the state of the country. Time to look forward to better things and stop the divisiveness that has plagued the country for the last twelve years.

  • "Trumpism" is just reinvented Reaganism with added brutality   3 years 35 weeks ago

    I haven't seen today's blog yet, but since Thom did some blogs over new year and is now doing 7 articles days a week, and the newsletter is only 5 days a week and not holidays, I have a backlog of blogs to upload, most of which date from before the inauguration.

    So don't be surprised to see some with pre-inauguration tones and blame Thom. If you don't subscribe to Medium.com, you can check the day of publication over at HartmannReport if you are interested.

    Why are your posts always so negative and telling Thom what he should do?

  • "Trumpism" is just reinvented Reaganism with added brutality   3 years 35 weeks ago

    Thom, I was wondering how you would handle your blog on inauguration day.

    Yesterday was the "out with the old and in with the new" day and instead of rejoicing and embracing the complete democratic control of Congress, you revert to the same old anti-republican rhetoric you have been pumping out for years. It's like you are caught in a time warp.

    Your dire multiple predictions of Trump refusing to leave the White House and thousands of heavily armed white people storming state capitols all over the country, dominating the unarmed military presence, and totally destroying Washington DC fell flat on its face.

    Instead, once again America was treated to Portland, and Seattle being looted and burned including federal property and of all places, the DNC headquarters just because a few radical leftist groups were unhappy over Biden actually winning the election. WTF?

    Deciphering your column, I can only conclude you fall out of the 74 million people that were unhappy over President Trump leaving office and the 80 million people that were enjoying watching the New President Biden being inaugurated, and instead, you choose to join the few hundred violent anarchists that are just generally unhappy with everything in general.

    That last group, be they on the left or right, should immediately seek professional counseling.

    Thom, you are better than that. Cleansing breaths, it is long past time to unwind and embrace the big win.

    Trump pardoned another Campaign Manager, Steve Bannon. He did not pardon the others that are tied into the fraud charges with Bannon. He pardoned several other crooks. But, he did not pardon any of his storm terrorists that he had attack the Capitol Building. They face years in prison. Ruined lives. They were nothing but pawns to him. Sacrificed for his own ego. Hope that they dig a lot deeper into this. Several of his Campaign Staffers were organizers of the insurrection. More will come out. Don Jr and Rudy were just as guilty of inciting the insurrection. None of the family or Rudy got pardons.

    The 4 years that I literally counted down every day is finally over. Trumpsters will slowly realize how stupid they were. In some cases, very slowly.

  • "Trumpism" is just reinvented Reaganism with added brutality   3 years 35 weeks ago

    Welcome home from Opposite World, we had a rough trip and visit there, but we are back here in a place "lit" with LEDs instead of gaslight.

    Something President Biden said in his excellent speech was that he would level with us. I feel that he will try to do that. He makes mistakes, he learns, he grows. He is really good at "adulting".

    And what did VP Harris say after exiting the limo? She was headed down the street and said something to the effect that she was walking to work. Just a bit later, there she was in the Senate working.

    I have stood on the Capitol steps (legally), sat in the Senate gallery, visited The Archives and the monuments. Can a city have gravitas? The usual power buzzing around DC is palpable. Things are so different these pandemic days. So kudos to the inauguration organizers; visually it had a stark beauty. The music, poem, and tribute were all loving, elegant, and moving.

    President Biden talked about there being enough of us to bring about the unity needed to repair what isn't working, help each other, and get moving. Exactly! The percentage that doesn't join in will be experiencing the future we build regardless. Are MAGA tears good for anything? How can we monetize them?
