Operation Saving Democracy: the newest large pro-democracy organization in the United States

 Former military officers and others form new group to defeat Trumpism

A new group of 500 former U.S. officials have banded together to form what looks to be a powerful group fighting to save democracy and essentially defeat fascism.  Members of the new group Operation Saving Democracy spoke on MSNBC yesterday.  If this trio of highly credentialed speakers is any indication, this new organization is sure to be quite helpful in the effort to stop Trumpism.

Even with such powerful voices, I believe more is needed. First, without in any way excusing the far-right, we need to recognize that the pain and suffering of many Americans has deep roots in historic racism, economic and financial systems which suffocate individuals, as well as the diminution of the authority of major institutions, especially the church.

Let us wish Operation Saving Democracy all the best in their patriotic mission.

This Is Your Pilot, Bob Reich

In the video linked to below, former Secretary of Labor, Bob Reich, succinctly and brilliantly explains why airplane travel has become unpleasant — and expensive.  The cost of add-ons for services which were formerly included at no extra charge, has led to higher prices, and frustration.  Yet, Secretary Reich says, the  airline companies are flush with cash.

Informative and entertaining:
