Facts matter.

So does an independent news organization, in these strange times. Celebrating their 39th year on air, “Democracy Now!” brings us news from ALL OVER THE WORLD. I believe their reporting is fair and also brave. The daily livestream broadcast airs every weekday at 8am. The archive of this broadcast is up on the website once the broadcast has ended, usually by 9:15 AM (Eastern) or so.

Mohsen Madawi’s interview with Amy Goodman of “Democracy Now!”. He recently walked in his Columbia graduation ceremony, after being released from ICE detention. His words are important and true. NOTE BENE: He was the President of the university’s Buddhist Association. This informs his speech and action, his PERSON. A well spoken and thoughtful man, an insightful interview….This video is worth your time. (May 16, 2025)

Paywalls suck. A great nation MUST HAVE an informed citizenry.

I subscribe to the New York Times, but at $28 a month, it is a line item, and it is not an item everyone can afford. Being informed should be free. To that end, I share with you the link to the US edition of The Guardian. This is a good news source, and it is free for all.

I watched “Ohio Confidential” - part one of this two part documentary, a couple of nights ago. Well done! Worth the time if you have access to HBO. I look forward to part two.
