The Fight for the Environment And the Fight for Blue-Collar Jobs Are One And the Same.

In both cases, it's a fight for democracy against plutocracy.

The US and Russia are cooperating to fight PISSI in Syria.

Evidently, Russia is not withdrawing all its forces from Syria quite so fast.

This cooperation is useful. It also demonstrates that the US and Russia don't need to be enemies. To be sure, Putin is capable of various sorts of aggression. Nonetheless, if the US avoids pushing too hard (for instance, inviting parts of the former Soviet Union to join NATO), the US and Russia need not be in conflict.

It will still be a shame that Putin has done away with democracy, the independent press, and other human rights in Russia. But the US is not in a position to do much about that.

I am concerned that Russian bombardment of Raqqa will be indiscriminate, a series of war crimes. The US makes some effort to avoid killing civilians, though it denies these killings when they happen. Russia hardly bothers to try to avoid killing civilians.

US citizens: call on the Department of Justice to investigate Arizona voter suppression.
