Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - AOC.

AOC is talking about creating a society for the rest of us rather than for the American billionaires who have enriched themselves by than a $1 trillion during the COVID-10 epidemic; while more Americans have died of COVID than died in combat during WWII; while more than 40 million Americans are about to become homeless.

AOC is talking about making America a more humane society. Let’s join her and make change for the better happen for all of us today.

Whatever she is cooking… it is the right stuff.

Hero Nuns

Since my childhood I have considered nurses, nuns and certain clergymen and doctors to be the real heroes of our times. Others like them have historically been the "first responders" when it came to fighting for those who could not defend themselves. Many have lost their lives trying to right social injustices, and certainly, today, they make the difference to millions of everyday Joes, like me.

To say that I was impressed with Sister Simone Campbell's presentation at the recent Democratic National Convention is very much an understatement. She brought tears to my eyes with her clear and uplifting presentation as she related her experiences.

While I have come to consider myself a humanist rather than a religious person of any variety, I feel Sister Simone and her colleagues are heroes, ranking among the most outstanding examples of "the good" which Christianity and the Catholic Church, in particular, has to offer. Why? Because they are standing up for those who have repeatedly been and continue to be the victims of our profit-first society.
