“Wendell Berry died on August 31 at his farm in Port Royal, Kentucky. He was 92. For more than half a century he farmed with horses, wrote in pencil, adamantly refused to purchase a computer, and insisted that the health of a person cannot be separated from the health of a place. That faithfulness to a place is the part of his thought that the health freedom movement most needs now.” (09/17/26)

“On October 12, 1960, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev pounded his shoe on the podium during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, yelling at the capitalist countries: ‘We [the socialists] will bury you!’ Within 30 years, socialism, not capitalism, was dead and buried in Eastern Europe. The USSR disappeared from the maps. Why was the Russian leader so confident in the victory of Marxism? Why was his prediction so wrong? The answer lies in the nature of socialism as a way to organize production and exchange. Capitalism relies on entrepreneurial profit-seeking and market price signals. Socialism relies on benevolent controls and the wisdom of experts.” (09/17/26)

“Nearly 60 Democratic members of Congress signed a letter to sound an alarm: black Americans are being found hanging, including some from trees, in a wave of possible ‘modern-day lynchings’. Their letter to the Justice Department and FBI stated, ‘The series of deaths raise significant suspicion of foul play given the role of lynching in our nation’s history’. Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley (MA-7) called it a ‘national crisis’. Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), who signed the letter, tweeted about ‘widespread modern-day lynchings’ and ‘racial terror’. Every suspicious death deserves investigation. But history is not evidence. What are the facts?” (09/17/26)

“The United Kingdom criminalized support for the direct action network, Palestine Action, at a minute after midnight, Saturday July 5, 2025. Hours later, Pink Floyd star Roger Waters shared a video clip to his Facebook page of him writing on a piece of cardboard, the words: ‘I support Palestine Action …’ Waters then declared ‘I am Spartacus,’ – invoking George Monbiot’s take on the ban from a week before. The day after, UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) reported him to British Counter-Terrorism Police for ‘expressing support for the newly proscribed Palestine Action.’ Around the same time the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) threatened to file a private prosecution if the authorities did not take action. But since that day, nothing has happened to Waters. No charge. No case against him. Over a year has gone by now, and still – no charge filed. The Filton Four are appealing their sentences.” (09/17/26)
