<P>One of our principal reasons for doing this work is the
shared understanding that <A

is a racket</B></A>, the Pentagon is a bloated corporate
welfare machine, and the U.S. government needs to stop
meddling in other countries’ affairs. While the
more-bloated-than-ever military budget is likely to pass, <A

Bernie Sanders bravely stood up to denounce it and make clear
he would vote no</B></A>.<BR><BR>Other stories worth reading,

the perspectives that Americans need to hear. Thank you for
your time -- and for taking action in addition to sharing
those stories.<BR><BR><A

Sanders Votes Against $778 Billion Pentagon War
Budget</B></A><BR>Bernie Sanders said he would vote against
the legislation because it enriches the military-industrial
complex at the expense of desperately needed social programs
and climate action. “Many of my colleagues tell the American
people, day after day, how deeply concerned they are about the
deficit and the national debt.”<BR><BR><A

"Breathtaking Cover-up" Of U.S. Airstrike That Killed Syrian
Civilians</B></A><BR>This <I>New York Times</I> report on the
cover-up of U.S. war crimes in Syria should make your blood
boil. The U.S. wantonly kills civilians, covers it up, and
then tells other countries how “democracy” works.<BR><BR><A
href="http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=NH2GLl%2BXCIvVKAXDYvh%2BliAfoPG6ZTSu"><B>Nicaragua:
Chronicle Of An Election Foretold</B></A><BR>The vote was
carried out in a climate of fear and intimidation, with a
total absence of safeguards against fraud, and several
potential candidates in jail. Amid a breakdown of the rule of
law, Daniel Ortega carried out a wave of repression since
May.<BR><BR><A

Rittenhouse Is Part Of America's Long Embrace Of
Vigilantism</B></A><BR>Even though the data show that 93
percent of Black Lives Matter marches are peaceful, the
defense in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial this week is hoping to
capitalize on white panic to pretend that shooting three
people, killing two who were unarmed, was
self-defense.<BR><BR><A

To Construct Next Pipeline As Biden, Leaders Do Little At
COP26</B></A><BR>The Line 3 tar sands pipeline is already an
unconscionable expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure at a
time when the science is clear: we need to reverse the carbon
economy’s growth before it’s too late. Line 3 will result in
more carbon emissions than the entire state of Minnesota
currently produces, roughly equivalent to building 50 new
coal-fired power plants.<BR><BR><A

Union-Busting Inoculation Video EVER — Thank You John
Oliver</B></A><BR>October saw the largest number of workers on
strike in years, and 2021 has seen a dramatic rise in coverage
of unionization efforts. John Oliver, host of <I>Last Week
Tonight</I>, took aim at the efforts to keep unions
out.<BR><BR><A

<I>Buffalo News</I> Helped Keep Socialist India Walton Out Of
City Hall</B></A><BR>The current mayor, Byron Brown, had the
key support of the hometown daily paper, the <I>Buffalo
News</I>. In its editorial endorsement of Brown in the general
election, the paper propped up Brown’s power of incumbency
against Democratic nominee India Walton, whom the paper called
“dangerously unqualified” and “an inexperienced and
unqualified leader who is sometimes driven by grievances.” In
other words, the powerful corporate media outlet supported the
corporate candidate against a genuine grassroots
progressive.<BR><BR><A

Help Democrats Survive 2022, Biden Should Legalize Marijuana
Right Now</B></A><BR>In states where recreational marijuana is
legal, things are going well. Tax revenue has surpassed
expectations in many places, opioid deaths are down, and
teenagers are actually using marijuana <I>less</I>. With
strong evidence in hand that full legalization works, Biden
has everything he needs to make the political case for
legalizing marijuana federally.<BR><BR><A

Day Is For Ending War</B></A><BR>In many parts of the world,
principally but not exclusively in British Commonwealth
nations, this day is called Remembrance Day; it should be a
day of mourning the dead and working to abolish war so as not
to create any more war dead. But the day has been militarized,
and a toxic alchemy cooked up by the weapons companies is
using the day to tell people that unless they support killing
more men, women and children in war they will dishonor those
already killed.<BR><BR>We don’t always reply to your
suggestions for stories to cover, but we pay close attention
to all of them, slowly building our list of excellent sources.
Shout out in particular to the smaller ones you won’t often
see flash by on social media. Keep those suggestions coming,
and remember that the media landscape won’t change on its own
-- it needs your involvement.<BR><BR><A
