Thank you Charles, for this comment. I know it’s hard to stand up to propaganda when an admired, dying man is proclaiming it. I admired Dan when he stood up in ‘71 and told truth to power and I admire all the whistleblowers of all the past years, most especially Assange and Chelsea who have really suffered for their work. (PS, Dan took his time to stand up for Assange, and I’ve never heard him do so for Chelsea.). I’m sorry he’s dying and hope he has no pain but as to listening to what he says, I’d rather listen to Rev Barber, or the GREAT thinker Fredrick Douglas, or Ida B. Hays. They fought the battles from an oppressed position that the middle class is more and more finding itself in today, as the elites take away the New Deal from whites. It’s a great awakening and we already have new hero's, who daily slog thru the work—Christian Smalls, Rev Barber, Greta, The Squad. And Caitlin. She may not know it but what she does here on this site is exactly what the heroes of my day did to open minds and form coalitions. Thank you Caitlin.
PS I know people are going to jump on my admiration of The Squad, but that just shows a lot of ignorance. And that they are being effective. Many so called liberals jumped on Ellsberg, Chomsky, etc. and LOOK what the Libs did to Assange. I love and admire and respect the Squad, because I know how hard their work is an$ unless YOU run for some positions of government, you have no idea what you’re criticizing.
