The only reason we in the US are not acting to heal Earth and save Humanity is that HyperWealthy Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Unnatural Gas , Big Bombs - and the Big Banks that fund them -- use their wealth to buy Power. Power to cancel out millions of voters.

No secret police, no "Portland" -- Anywhere Dear friends, "Today Portland, tomorrow all America!" is the boast of Trumpist officials who have already announced they are planning to do "Portland" anywhere and everywhere. The American public needs to stand against this vile tactic - - more than a tactic, a strategy to smash the growing majority ready to throw out of office an anti-democratic government.

The Torah vs. Jared Kushner What would it mean to bring Torah to bear within or upon one rich, powerful, and unjust Jew --- Jared Kushner? I want to lift up a perfect example of how Torah values are trampled underfoot even while the semblance of piety is claimed. A story of one man who at this moment holds great power and exemplifies in his own person the "kleptocracy" -- rule by thieves -- that now afflicts us:

Becoming Elijah For the Shabbat just before Passover (this year March 28), Jewish tradition assigns the last chapter of the last of the classical prophets -- Malachi, who spoke about 2500 years ago -- to be read. The passage takes on an uncanny significance for our generation:
