♫A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song ’bout the home of the brave in this land here of the free
One time one night in America

A shot rang out in the night
Just when everything seemed right

This week marks the second time that WordPress has chosen a new editing format as default. (Café Babylon is on WP blogging software.)

Can we be in solidarity with them is any material way? Often that’s all that’s left to us so far away. More on those ways at the bottom…

Because most of us need some spirit-raising; and yes, I continue to believe that First Nations and Third World women will lead us out of the hellish mess we’re in.

This film by Class War films is a potent and unsparing critique of the mythological version of American history that has for too long stood in the way of our fighting the plutocracy in order to become a nation that might have actually deserved to be called ‘Exceptional’.
