Labor Priorities
Looking
at the political landscape, I think labor and social activists will
have their work cut out for them fighting privatization and defending
New Deal programs such as Welfare, Social Security and Medicare.
Jumping
on the 'clean energy' bandwagon (that only benefits Wall Street) is not
an effort with any payoff to society, except in manufacturing and
construction jobs, but it still supports increased consumerism and
militarism that drive the increase in CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

Break Free Corruption
If it wasn't for the nuking the future aspect of the 350 'clean energy' Ponzi scheme, the Break Free from fossil fuels campaign might be amusing, in a fairyland sort of way. I mean, Wall Street's always at least a dozen steps ahead of these bozos prancing around like they're saving the world. Ponzi schemes are just part of the new world order, and the do-gooders are always the last to catch on.
But then there's that little aspect of this exceedingly pompous foolery generating some genuinely pissed off responses from some not so tolerable sorts, who might get it in their heads to commission some revenge against innocents like the Indian tribes, who are just trying to look out for their treaty rights--all because the idiots with nothing better to do are threatening to put people out of work.
So then we have to come out of our lovely retirement and clean up the mess these idiots caused with their fanatic fantasies about politics that brings out the worst in some folks who harbor racist resentment and start looking to do some wilding on our Native American friends, like they did twenty years ago--which was a real pain, and not a bit like the jolly camp out of May 14-16 at March Point.

Fact-Checking Hillary
Polls show Sanders has a better chance of defeating Trump than Clinton does. Clinton, although as yet unindicted for her proven crimes of money-laundering and influence-peddling as Secretary of State, is especially vulnerable to impeachment--even if she did win. Without having the corrupt corporate media, super-delegate system, and DNC behind her, she wouldn't even be a contender.

Attitude Makes a Difference
Native Trauma
Peter D’Errico reports
that Native suicides reflect an infection of the soul by the disease of
silent despair, an unresolved grief from the civilizing of Indians by
Europeans. The ongoing loss of lands, resources, and ways of life, he
says, leave Native communities in a state of perpetual mourning as each
new generation is born into “a world in shambles”.
