Sunday, April 22, 2018Puerto Rico Goes Back Door to Solartopia and the Corporate Media Blacks It Out Puerto Rico has made history by becoming -- briefly -- the largest US territory or state to be powered almost entirely by renewable energy. The corporate media has done all it can to black the story out.
Monday, February 26, 2018Trumputin's "Policies" on Guns, Drugs, Puerto Rico, Golf, Mueller and Russian Election Theft Are All About Mob Money Of course, the US itself has flipped scores of national elections around the world since the 1890s. That would include Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union, when the CIA illegally installed the drunken Mafioso idiot Boris Yeltsin. Trumputin is our imperial vulture come home to roost.
Saturday, February 17, 2018It's Time to Deal With Trumputin's Second Amendment Idiocy Trumputin and those like him are criminally insane when it comes to (among so many other things) guns. That the slumlord-in-chief has issued a statement blaming the victims, and without mentioning gun control, is par for his course.
Sunday, February 4, 2018Will We Get Trumputin's Tax Returns Along With the Nunes Memo? Stopping Trumputin will require the full force of the social democratic movement ignited by Bernie Sanders, riding the popular wave of BlackLivesMatter, Occupy, etc. Only a massive grassroots uprising can stop the fascist coup now taking place. It's time for the social democrat, true democracy grassroots to rise up to protect our common humanity and our Mother Earth.
Friday, January 26, 2018Trump's Assault on Solar Masks an Epic Crisis in the Nuclear Industry A major crisis in the nuclear power industry is threatening to shut four high-profile reactors, with more shutdowns to come.

Sunday, December 31, 2017"Call Me Sluggo": A Life-long Activist Sheds His Slave Name Enough is enough. Especially when it comes to a name. Many of you have undoubtedly faced a crisis or two about your own. It can come from anywhere, like changing (or NOT) your family name when getting married. Or dumping the curse of one you never liked.
Friday, December 15, 2017Fighting the Assaults on Net Neutrality and Our Economy Trump's "tax reform" and internet assault are at the cutting edge of a suicidal war being waged by the psychotic rich against the rest of us -- and the planet. The center is not holding. Our social and ecological fabric is giving way. Our survival is at stake. These turning-point elections in Virginia and Alabama give us hope. Like those elections, these are conflicts we cannot afford to lose.

Saturday, November 25, 2017Earthquake Risk Keeps Heat on Vulnerable Nuclear Reactors Diablo's wind-blown emissions could irradiate the Los Angeles megalopolis in less than six hours if an earthquake destroyed the plant.

Wednesday, November 22, 2017Is Puerto Rico Being "Ethnically Cleansed" for the Super Rich? Two months after the Sept. 20 landfall of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico -- like the nearby Virgin Islands -- is still in a state of horrifying devastation. The help being offered by the Trump administration is thin to the point of being cruel and unusual.
Sunday, November 12, 2017Will Alabama Voters Be Next to Reject "Trumpism"? Steve Bannon's attempted fascist putsch in Virginia and New Jersey has failed. Is Alabama next? Can the Democrats keep it from being stolen? Given the Virginia/New Jersey rejection of hate, Alabama is now in play. The Democrats have shown they can beat Trumpism. In Alabama, they also must show they've learned some lessons from recent elections.
Friday, November 3, 2017Can Democrats Stop Virginia, Alabama Elections From Being Stolen? The brain-dead corporate DNC shows no willingness to do anything. So Schumer, Pelosi and Perez need to stand down, and let independent election protection activists do their work. Until they do, Donald Trump will once again run wild, with no effective opposition, leaving the GOP free to steal every election for the foreseeable future--with potentially apocalyptic consequences.
Tuesday, October 31, 2017Swamp Tales: Puerto Rico Cancels $300 Million Trump Crony Electrical Grid Rebuild Contract For Puerto Rico's 3.4 million residents, restoring power is a matter of life and death.

Thursday, October 12, 2017How Gore, Kerry and Clinton Put Trump in the White House Trump's federal commission on "voter fraud," headed by Kobach, with Blackwell by his side, is escalating the Jim Crow assault on our voter rolls.
