It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.

Hi guys! Kinda nervy, but I just posted my first essay on here! It’s an essay about my take on stereotypes placed on the African American community and where they came from. Please check it out if you’re interested, I would greatly appreciate it!
The Truth Beneath the Stereotypes: A Black Woman’s Reflection on Race, Reality, and Resilience
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

There is an old saying we all know, “Where there is smoke, there is fire.” Meaning smoke is the natural and unavoidable outcome or evidence of fire. In kind it is accurate to say, “Where there is the spirit, there is obedience.” or “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” John 14:15 Just a Thought

HUGE FLIP: Democrat John Ewing Jr. just turned Omaha blue—defeating the longest-serving GOP mayor in the country and becoming the city’s first Black mayor in history.
Hi Larry. I do not remember how/where I first heard about your work, but in rummaging through files yesterday looking for something, I came upon a 2019 article of yours on analogical thinking, bunched into a folder on personal development/ideas for project, along with some others that just happen to be relevant to this post (role of worker/labor vis a vis the corporation/business-owners of capital and means of production).
I gathered it all up to help me think about responding to another recent post from within a group thinking about transforming society - capitalism, democracy-governance, spiritual development. The article was "The Adaptation Economy".
Part of my reply to it, should I write it, will address the crux of this post as part of necessary strategies for both changing/evolving Capitalism and emowering workers. It would be based on the principles delineated from the Democracy Collaborative, who is doing very good work. Broadly, these principles are: 1- Labor matters more than capital, 2- Local, broad-based ownership matters, 3-Active democratic ownership & participation matter, 4- Multipliers matter (community ecosystem of mutual business), 5- Localizing investment matters, 6- Collaboration matters, 7- Place really matter, 8- Community Wealth is where the next system begins.
I will explore other articles. Thanks for this post and what you are doing.
