The world of the Plutocrats runs on our exhaustion - it blows up when we refuse to be tired.

It's More Than That

Robert Arnold

We can do better. So what the fuck are we doing not even trying to do better?

Robert Arnold

Sometimes, you have to stop and consider a full blown purge.

Robert Arnold

Plutocrats aren't your friends. They're not your allies. They're not even your fellow citizens.

Robert Arnold

People's suffering is not acceptable collateral for someone else's comfort.

What we're doing now

is what we'd be doing

in 1930s Germany

or 1960s America

Robert Arnold

The danger is real.

The plutocrats are busily scheming away.

And it looks like they're winning.

They're not. 

Robert Arnold

On redistricting.

Robert Arnold

Sometimes, hope is a choice we make in the dark.

We can make that choice when truth is a burden

and the outcome is anything but certain.

If It Hurts, It's Alive

So stop trying to deny that first part.

Robert Arnold

He's mad. And righteously so.

If there was a god,

I'd pray for peace.

but since there isn't,

I guess I'll have to work for it.

Robert Arnold

We pay for the war in lots of different ways.

Selma to Montgomery

The Selma to Montgomery March occurred on March 21 to 25, 1965, and was led by Dr Martin Luther King. This march was the culmination of several weeks of activity, during which demonstrators had tried to march on two occasions. They were stopped on both occasions, once violently, by the police. Approximately 25,000 people joined the March and it became a landmark event in the Civil Rights Movement, leading directly to the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The march brought public attention to the injustices faced by African Americans in voting.

In 1996, it was designated as a National Historic Trail in an act proposed by President Bill Clinton and passed by Congress, to be preserved by the National Park Service.

In March 2005, a re-enactment of the march took place to commemorate its 40th anniversary. This anniversary led to the creation of a pedestrian walk around Selma.

In 2015 the Marion to Selma Connecting Trail was designated to connect the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail with the site of Jimmie Lee Jackson's murder.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 directed the National Park Service to study potential additions to the trail and whether it should become a unit of the National Park System.

On The Mythology Of Greatness

God does not need help from Generals.

The purpose of the separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.

--James Madison, in a letter objecting to the use of government land for churches, 1803

Robert Arnold Responds

"...and when they rise, they do not whisper - they thunder and they rage."

Democracy is not something we have

if it's not something we do.

She Was A Mom

History will not be kind to the assholes perpetrating these horrors,

nor to the rest of us if all we do is watch and say nothing.

Closing Out 2025

" ...without labor, capital is just a spreadsheet hallucination."

"We're done pretending that endless growth for a few will somehow trickle into mercy for the many."

A timely holiday message that ought to be a daily thing.
