Let's make one!
We absolutely must have our voices heard, or things are going to keep getting worse, fast. We need a progressive television or cable network that can present our vision- and it cannot be beholden to corporate interests.

That means we will have to pay for, and build it, it ourselves. I really don't know how much a network would cost, someone said tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. If so, we should be so lucky- that is practically nothing compared to the resources of American Progressive Democrats. There have to be at least 10 million progressives nationwide- and every one of them has a choice epithet at least weekly if not daily for FOX news or the depredations of the corporate media. So it's time to pony up, Progressives! One dollar from each progressive is at least $10 million. Ten dollars is $100 million. One hundred dollars is $1 billion! Moreover, once we get the ball rolling, the show of force will attract more allies to our side.

If we don't cultivate empathy with our thoughts and actions, it's not going to grow. Without a lot more empathy in action we're not going to have a chance of surviving together. So I approve of two tips tonight to cultivate empathy in your life:

stop eating the animals, think about why

give what you can to the people who need it the most
