Jon Stewart hit the nail on the head. For decades, politicians used 9/11 heroes as photo-ops, only to turn their backs when those same first responders needed healthcare for toxins that destroyed their bodies. Basic human decency shouldn't require a public shaming campaign!

The “Well, I didn’t vote for you!” scene, one of the funniest moments in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, pits the medieval legend of King Arthur against modern political philosophy. It remains widely quoted because “Well, I didn’t vote for you” has become shorthand for questioning authority.

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
