Shout Out

Congratulations are in order for my former boss, Dave Robinson, for landing top billing on www.commondreams.org for his article, This Election, Values Voters Should Choose the Common Good Over Fascism.

My favorite line:

Today, the polarization that infects our nation and its political discourse works as a ready tool for current day fascists to deflect and divide. There is no room for common ground when a cynical manipulation of “faith” demonizes all “others.’ There is no room for common ground when every challenge is framed as “us’ against “them.” This elimination of common ground leaves little place to make the case for the common good. But it is that very case that we must make.
