Let the new world begin!
Here it is again, from me: For all of you (us) depressed and negative about Bernie’s possibilities on the Democratic ballot: 1. We knew back in April of 2015 when he announced his candidacy for the 2026 elections that it … Continue reading
Justice: a boil that must be lanced / La justicia: un forúnculo que hay que reventar
