There are probably no more than five Republicans sitting in Congress today who are deserving of the honour of representing We the People, and of the new ones currently seeking a seat in Congress, not a single one is qualified. And yet, their lies and wild conspiracy theories have gained them a following and there is a possibility that Republicans will gain a majority in one or possibly both chambers of Congress next year. That, in and of itself should make intelligent people of good conscience more determined than ever to overcome the barriers and get out to vote, take their neighbors to the polls, volunteer as a poll worker … whatever it takes to keep Republicans out of Congress. I have never been a member of either party, have always been an Independent, but I’ve never felt as affiliated, even if unofficially, with a party as I do the…

Roe’s Collapse Means Everything is Up for Grabs
What’s worse, is that Justice Clarence Thomas explicitly called for overturning several of these substantive due process cases in his opinion, including Obergefell v. Hodges, Griswold v. Connecticut, and Lawrence v. Texas.
It’s hard to stress the importance of each of these cases. Obergefell guaranteed the constitutional right to same-sex marriage. Griswold gave us the right to access contraceptives. And Lawrence made it unconstitutional to criminalize sex between people of the same sex.

¡DEVOLVER LA TIERRA AHORA! « La tierra para los Indígenas no tiene valor comercial, como en el sentido privado de propiedad civil. Es una relación de identidad, que incluye espiritualidad y existencia, y se puede decir que no hay comunidad Indígena sin tierra »

‘Arrancaron nuestras hojas
rompió nuestras ramas
cortar nuestros baúles
Pero se olvidaron de arrancar nuestras raíces ‘
Y hoy luchamos por la vida. Todavía no entienden.
¡Pero es cierto que los pueblos Indígenas están en peligro de desaparecer!
¡Gracias por mantenerte alerta y movilizado! ¡NO al « Marco Temporal »!
« Los derechos Indígenas están en riesgo en Brasil, como nunca antes en la historia. Los pueblos Indígenas ahora son perseguidos en nuestro país por un presidente que articula el desmantelamiento total de nuestros derechos. »
– Emerson Pataxó

‘Dentro de nós mora um diálogo verdadeiro de tudo aquilo que nos mantém de pé diante dos momentos difíceis. É esse reclame que provoca claridade, que acende as ideias, que mata o que tem que morrer primeiro. É necessário observar, resmungar, manifestar ideias e ações que exigem uma consciência maior do nosso compreender, do que é confiar, tolerar, renovar e escolher tudo àquilo que é sagrado para viver em nossa intimidade, abaixo de nosso respeito e consciência. “

“La brigata dei Bastardi” dell’operazione Alsos che saboto’ la bomba atomica di Hitler

“La brigata dei bastardi” (Adelphi, pp 496) è una spy-story, uno stupefacente saggio/romanzo che il fisico Sam Kean ha scritto su uno degli eventi più decisivi e quasi sconosciuti della storia: l’Operazione Alsos (in greco “boschetti”) cioè la storia degli scienziati e delle spie che sabotarono la bomba atomica nazista anche per impedire che finisse sotto l’ala sovietica. Sembra infatti che i nazisti avessero davvero pensato d’usare l’equivalente tedesco del Progetto Manhattan per distruggere la Manhattan vera e propria.
Il Terzo Reich aveva varato il Club dell’Uranio già nel 1939, in anticipo sul Progetto americano Manhattan che aveva tra i protagonisti principali Enrico Fermi, proprio per costruire l’arma definitiva. E tutti i servizi segreti erano a conoscenza che Hitler disponesse delle migliori industrie, delle materie prime necessarie e di una determinata volontà per l’accelerazione finale sull’ordigno. Se avesse costruito l’atomica il mondo sarebbe definitivamente cambiato.
Le stesse intelligence…

Parashat Korach (קוֹרַח) 5782 & Necessary Hierarchy?
Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
This week’s Torah portion, Parashat Korach (קוֹרַחפָּרָשַׁת), is the 38th (38/54 or 52, depending on the year: this year, 5782, we read 54 separate parshiot…) reading in the annual cycle (B’Midbar/Numbers 16:1-18:32), and the fifth parashah in the book of B’midbar/Numbers.
Ok, more hierarchy, and even more heavy-handed, as fellow Levites, theoretically equal to Aharon (except on Moshe’s say-so…), try to offer incense and assert their equality with the designated Cohen Gadol (High Priest). Plague, fire, and sink-holes are the response. Until recently, I’ve never questioned that response, but now, I have to admit that I can see Korah’s point. The Rabbis say that this parashah, and many of the Tehilim/Psalms, were named for him in honor of… his honest mistake? I forget, now. Maybe Dolly or David will tell us?
Maybe this level of control was necessary at that time, in…
