Greetings Everyone: As I've already mentioned a while back, I decided to join this forum after all, but mostly as a silent observer (no, I'm not a spy for Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump!). Roy Kosonen

Dem science candidates in 2018       We have been looking for a really good list and description of Dems running in 2018 and are not satisfied with what we have found as yet. We came across this list of Dems from Science Magazine -- maybe some or all of these are viable and appropriate candidates to support. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/02/

Today’s NYTimes has an article examining the case of Janus v. AFSCME, to be argued before the Supreme Court next Monday. “A Supreme Court Showdown Could Shrink Unions’ Power,”  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/22/us/politics/supreme-court-unions.html.  This post offers a perspective on how the very conservative five-member majority uses a case like this to reach its ideological

One of the purposes of this blog is to share with each other what actions we are taking as individuals to change politics this year (before it gets even worse). And by sharing our involvement, magnifying our efforts and sharing part of our lives with each other. Whatever we may think about the Democratic Party (we volunteered for Bernie), the Democrats are all we have at this moment to affect

Brahmin left v. Merchant right: an opinion piece from NYT, which I found useful: . May shed some light on the so-called "populist" revolt, and why some Sanders supporters voted for Trump.

Dear Chorus Members, We should like to respectfully suggest that the Chorus initiate discussions amongst ourselves, telling each other what we might do to effect positive political change this year. Why? Because obviously our lives, our children’s lives, our grandchildren’s lives will be affected by what we do and what we don’t do. Being mindful that the disarray which we see is not pure
