This week on Act Out!, in a special hourlong episode, we not only fill you in on the actions from the streets of D.C. last weekend, we more importantly discuss, analyze and project a path forwards. Local D.C. musician, activist and writer Jason Yawn will join me to talk tactics, what to do now, and the role of artists in the movement.
Ideological rigidity is not only keeping us from making inroads with mainstream society and growing our numbers—but effectively preventing us from accomplishing any actual policy goals.
If any of us hope to stop Donald Trump from becoming the 47th president of the United States, it will have to be done from the ballot box, not the courts.
Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.
From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.
Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

The star-studded summer blockbuster has been lauded as a feminist film. But Barbie is not just pro-women—it’s also very pro-men.
"POTUS" is an acronym political journalists frequently use when talking about the President of the United States. However, "POTUS" seems a woefully soft and inadequate word to describe the current occupant of the Oval Office.
Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell talks about how Americans are welcoming surveillance devices like Ring and Nest into their homes, and — as they can now watch their front doors, babysitters, children and pets all day long — how surveillance has become normalized.

Additional media platforms
Occupy, and Act Out! should consider the following as ulterior or additional social media platforms: minds.com and vidme.com. Peace, great show as always Eleanor Goldfield.

The questions get right to the point
Act Out provides great coverage of Disrupt J20, more than you would ever see on MSM.
Eleanor's sharp questions reveal the contradictions in the system and it's response to violence. They get right to the heart of the matter. Basically she asks:
Isn't poverty a form of social violence
Isn't homelessness a form of social violence
Also as economist Rob Urie suggests in his counterpunch article "Liberalism as Class Warfare" aren't gender and racial bias in economic outcomes a form of social violence
There are many more.
Of course they are forms of social violence by the system against the people but capitalism can never bring itself to admit to it. The consequences of this position could not be clearer.
