This feels very much like information overload. We know all this, and we do not doubt a word of it, and we would love to act on it. But how many of us are there, and what can any of us do that will have any significant impact? We can hope that the spontaneous uprisings and protests in cities around the country will make some difference. We can use social media and write letters to the editor. But otherwise, the feeling of helplessness is debilitating. The horse is out of the barn. If more people do not see the evidence and corporate media do not stop ignoring the obvious, it is hard to imagine what will stop this evil. Time is no longer on our side. Let me get my letter to the editor sent, which follows one from only ten days ago. They might not publish another one so soon. It's a good thing that so many of us are inveterate optimists. Or is it?

Bernie's speech in Iowa yesterday was truly inspiring. He asked the crowd to have their Republican congresswoman set up a town hall meeting before the vote, hoping they could persuade her to vote no. Several thousand people attended each of the venues where he spoke. Bernie is doing this coast to coast. Why aren't Kamala Harris, Barrie Obama, and the Clintons doing the same across the US? Instead, they are shoring up potential speaking engagements, and Kamala receives awards from the NAACP.

Robert, to which editor are you referring?
