MAKE IT REAL....

* The US bombs Yemen and it is taken as a given that expanding the "war on terror" is the only thing to do. We are becoming slaves to endless war and we seem to gladly carry our chains around with us.

* Last night it was just Karen Wainberg and me on the corner in Bath for our weekly Bring Our War $$ Home vigil. The wind was blowing 40 mph and the weatherman was saying that with the wind chill it was essentially 15 degrees below zero. We stayed 20 minutes. The wind on the face was rough.

* This speech above, by Jaribu Hill, Exec. Dir. of the Mississippi Workers' Center for Human Rights, fits into the must listen to category. She makes it real.....we have to connect the war spending to economic collapse here at home.
