Activism
Activists, surviviors, and Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui marked the 73rd anniversary of the U.S. dropping an atomic bomb on the Japanese city by calling for the total elimination of the world’s nuclear weapons.
People are starting to wake up and see the complete lack of wisdom behind the U.S. and its hostile foreign and domestic policies. Peace marches in Afghanistan and Japan are two shining examples.
Robert Reich offers 6 big reasons we should all be hopeful for America’s future in these times with Donald Trump as President.
Prosecution of Julian Assange is a persecution of American ideals. Criminalizing the act of publishing through the Espionage Act destroys the First Amendment as the guardian of democracy. This not only sets a dangerous precedent for press freedom, but it could allow the beginning of a new totalitarianism. We must break our silence and refuse to participate in the destruction of values that founded this country. It is time for us all to put aside ideological differences and unite in solidarity with people around the world who are engaging in non-violent resistance against this assault on WikiLeaks and our right to free speech.
The heart is not a technological construct. It operates on a wavelength which is critical to the flowering of our spiritual path. It responds to a Universal rhythm of which man is an integral part and which is every individual’s birth-rite. Had we been consciously operating on this heart and spirit led frequency over the past centuries, mankind and planet Earth would not be in the perilous psycho-physical state of imbalance it is in today.
Children led a protest on Capitol Hill on Thursday as the Trump administration missed the deadline to reunite all of the families it has forcibly separated. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) accused the administration of extreme negligence in how it carried out the “horrific, dark act of injuring children in order to take a political position… The administration was incompetent on top of it, or callous, and did not track the connection between the parents and the children, and so it’s having an enormously difficult time reuniting the families.”
Tens of thousands of teens and pre-teens — most often, the poor and people of color — are locked up in substandard, often privatized penal facilities. Children who go through these forced family separations often wind up experiencing trauma, grief, shame, and dehumanization.

George Goehl: We hear people say that what is happening to migrants in the United States right now is un-American. I wish that were true. Sadly, American history is full of periods where children of color were routinely taken from their parents. Resistance and organizing, on the other hand, are truly American. In fact, many of our nation’s best moments have been when we heeded the call to stand down hatred and racism.
Here are some ways that YOU can undermine the Evil Cabal: Firstly, understand that systems of political and economic control are heavily dependent on the acquiescence, cooperation, and participation of many millions of people. Furthermore, you must recognize that taking it upon yourself to assemble and collate every possible fact and insight into every conspiracy and every nasty event is self-destructive. That is, by becoming a library of terrible truths, you are willfully imposing upon yourself a subtle but powerful form of mental slavery.
This past Friday in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province, Hazara girls joined young Pashto boys to sing Afghanistan’s national anthem as a welcome to Pashto men walking 400 miles from Helmand to Kabul. The walkers are calling on warring parties in Afghanistan to end the war. Most of the men making the journey are wearing sandals. At rest stops, they must tend to their torn and blistered feet. But their mission grows stronger as they walk.
Several times each day through many years, you have changed nappies (Am: diaper) and each time it stinks. How do you treat your baby? Do you rant and rave at him/her about it? Why not? What holds you back? You want your baby to be happy and stress free and so you focus yourself on that and the nappy change is quickly done. You go into love and stay there and the shit just doesn’t disturb you. It is now time to change the nappies of the politicians who have sold themselves to the bankers. For many decades they have been shitting on the rest of humanity because no-one has changed their nappies in love. Now we are going to do it.
Fighting back against the Trump administration’s “vile” new policy of separating young migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, the ACLU is launching “Families Belong Together” rallies at immigration enforcement offices nationwide on Friday in an urgent effort to “end this practice for good.”
Hoisting signs that read “The War Economy Is Immoral” and “Ban Killer Drones,” demonstrators gathered at the capitol buildings of New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, and several other states to denounce a militaristic system that profits “every time a bomb is dropped on innocent people.” Hundreds have been arrested.
National Football League (NFL) team owners were widely rebuked Wednesday for a new policy to penalize professional football teams whose players exercise their right to protest after athletes across the league locked arms, raised fists, or knelt during the national anthem the past two seasons to support a movement against racial injustice started by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
