The Healing Web of Solidarity
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-05-31
As most of us sat at home during the past year, seeking safety from the pandemic and isolated from each other, we had little to protect us from the onslaught of historic national traumas and anxieties. We watched in horror as over half a million Americans died, millions lost their livelihoods while others had to face the virus at work, an unarmed Black man was slowly murdered by a policeman on camera, and our President encouraged a white rightwing insurrection. All of this is superimposed on the global existential crisis of climate change and the economic abandonment of many places across the country. If years ca…

_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-05-31

Memorial Day 2021
Richard Levine | counterpunch.org | 2021-05-31
Memorial Day 2021 The brown splash and swirl in the glass. I set down the bottle beside it, the cork forced back in place. Any smoky, sweet aromatic notes that might escape would be wasted on me, with tree pollen clogging my sinuses. And if my eyes are puffy and tearing, blame it on that,…
