@fred_guttenberg I have been saying this forever, AM and small local FM Radio is still a powerful information tool in many area's.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest.

As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

Rain diminishes through this evening as the low pressure system departs, but this will quickly be replaced with another low pressure system tracking just north of Lake Superior. This system will bring strong winds, rain and snow showers, and decreasing temperatures. #906wx

People who say this election could be the "end of democracy" are so extra...

Or maybe they know the TRUE history of the election-denying white supremacist who led a violent insurrection, overturned a presidential election and ended democracy in America.

@HGHildebrandt @ChrisMurphyCT Interesting! Thank you. Looks like similar concepts to some of the healthy forest initiatives, and loss of biodiversity and soil structure from large corporate logging practices that I have researched. Will read some more on it.

@Kingofhonkys @CurtisHouck @julieroginsky It's should not be an issue, it was that it was politicized, once that was allowed it became something people took sides on. We Have gone through other language changes over the decades, with and without major backlash, we need to look to history and move forward in smart ways.

@HGHildebrandt @ChrisMurphyCT Not specifically, I have been working locally on Local Food Sovereignty, and where I live practice small scale agroforestry, and native crops. I am a supporter of distributed local climate and energy solutions, but big corporate renewable is just another resource extraction.

In Ojibwe our word for shell is miigis (pronounced mee-gis; hard g). Quahog clam shells were used to string wampum. Wampum belts were mnemonic devices used for treaty making and to record history. Wampum at @LaurentianU during Treaty Recognition Week.
