I’m not leaving but I’m changing my focus. Will you join me? My reason for being on Medium has never been to make money or to even build a big audience. Okay, the latter was a goal as means towards a bigger goal — saving the climate and building a…

Don’t let climate criminals cover their tracks with euphemisms. We keep hearing that, due to climate change, we can expect an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. That’s a lie. The climate isn’t changing. The climate is BEING CHANGED. Actually, destroyed. Fossil fuel companies, financial companies and…

Social services — that is, actual benefits that go to taxpayers — must be paid for. But tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and military spending — both HUGE expenses that grow all the time are studiously overlooked by alleged “deficit hawks.” I often feel my writing should be by-lined…

How I learned that the system is hopeless, and that reform from within is a deadly waste of time. Not so many years ago, I was a Progressive. I was registered as a Democrat and, although I thought the so-called “center” was a rubber-stamp for corporate America — similar to…

I’m surprised I’ve dodged the bullet for so long. A little while ago, the City of Philadelphia issued a warning via smart phones, that the tap water is no longer safe to drink. They “recommend” we drink bottled water. A chemical spill in the Delaware River has poisoned the proverbial…
