wildfires

Dear Friends, In America today, large and devastating wildfires that were once relatively uncommon have become an increasingly common occurrence. In California, five of the largest wildfires in the history of the state have happened in the last five years. And, as you read this, one of the most…

I don’t often agree with Elon Musk...

But he is right when he says the Pentagon “has little idea how its annual budget of more than $800bn is spent.” Dear Friends, I've written an op-ed in the Guardian today outlining why I’m voting against the military budget. The United States needs a strong military, but we do not need a defense …

Today in America

You won’t hear it discussed in corporate media (for obvious reasons), or on the floor of Congress (for obvious reasons), but the most important issue facing facing the American people and the global community is the rapid rise of oligarchy. Dear Friends, You won’t hear it discussed in corporate…

Tough times ...

Will the Democratic leadership learn the lessons of their defeat? Dear Friends, Tough times. The American people understand that our economic and political systems are rigged. They know that the very rich get much richer while almost everyone else becomes poorer. They know that we are moving rap…

No more arms sales to Netanyahu

Please read my op-ed in The Washington Post Friends, The American people have had enough. Poll after poll shows that a majority of Americans oppose sending more weapons and military aid to fuel Netanyahu’s war machine. We should listen to the American people. Please read my op-ed in The Washingt…

Justifiable anger

Please read my op-ed in the Boston Globe Dear Friends, The results of the 2024 election have confirmed a reality that is too frequently denied by Democratic Party leaders and strategists: The American working class is angry — and for good reason. Please read my op-ed in the Boston Globe that add…

It should come as no great surprise

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. Dear friend, It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white w…

No matter what the outcome of this election...

Many of you have differences of opinion with Kamala Harris on Gaza. So do I. But we cannot sit this election out.

On this issue, Donald Trump and his right wing friends are worse. Dear friend, Yesterday, I recorded a video which now has over 7 million views across multiple platforms. The message of the video is simple: even if you strongly disagree with Kamala on Gaza, as I do, please vote for her. We simpl…

This book is for you

I recently wrote a book, "It's OK to be Angry About Capitalism" that attempts to break through a lot of the irrelevant discussion that is taking place regarding politics and the economy in America today. Dear Friend, Politics is not a baseball game. It is not a soap opera. It is not a Grammy awa…
