As a person who is associated with progressive political groups and an information junkie intrigued with how we as a people create systems of meaning and belief, I sometimes notice patterns to which other people give little attention. As a progressive who lives in Arizona, I see patterns of extremism all around me, and have […]
Colorado City, TX to Dickson, TN

Another F Word Day – Friday Finds
