1760 new cases, 6 death, NY21 1211 deaths 1/12 as #StefanikVariant of #TrumpVirus rampages on in NY21, convinced your MAGAt supporters that mandates unconstitutional, steffie silent
I, too, watched 60 minutes, as i always do....and was really touched by all that Isay said (and his continual work to get people to listen). I am terrified really of how hate and contempt and violence are encouraged as if this is the voice of the people. I think of the Brown Shirts, the Black Shirts, the ease with which a people can become a herd of hate, storming the capital and threatening anyone who dares to be bipartisan and disagree with the "leader." I do believe we can and must talk to people who are able to listen and speak what feels true to their heart. I also believe that most people have a deep kindness and generosity and care for their family and even our earth. I don't think i could talk to some of the hate mongers, the Alex Jones and the now "leaders" of the republican party that sanction and spout misinformation, threaten and punish dissenters even in their own party. .There is a partisan divide but both parties are not equally responsible for the hate. When i listen to Raskin and Biden and Schumer and Sanders I hear anger at injustice but not approval for violence. And not a desire to threaten and use force. Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin Luther King and Reverend Barber do not promote violence but, rather, action to create a real democracy. Almost all the thoughtful historians see the grave danger to democracy. And I need to repeat that the danger is more from the leaders (not the people) on the other side.
So Ken i thank you for your blog and i have continually thanked the Post Star for always trying to give local, national, and international news that is informative and impartial, one of the few local papers that has survived, that everyone should support, a paper that informs...like BBC, like NPR, like some of the excellent columnists that I listen to every day because i want to learn...and i always learn from 60 minutes....
Thank you, Mr. Tingley, for your commentary and quoted material. Dividing and distracting the populace (divide and conquer) has effectively caused a destructive and dehumanizing effect on way too many people. That new term makes me understand where it comes from, and like the older military industrial complex, it certainly is not based on democratic ideals or even on an outlook of a future where all people on earth could constructively and collectively tackle important issues that affect all of us. Ultimately, it is causing all kinds of moral, social and environmental disasters because of these divisive attacks. And I'm not even a pessimist!!
Once again you have hit the nail on the head. Dividing the nation only serves those with evil intent. We must resist those inclinations and strive to unite.

I also regularly encourage folks to watch PBS Newshour. An entire hour where they cover the world fairly - and no commericials.
Excellent.
