The Lost American Value: The Truth

from Progressive Voices Hosted by Progressive Voices

The Lost American Value: The Truth We live in a country where the most controversial thing you can do is tell the pure, unvarnished truth. Why? Because many think the truth is relative, that the truth changes, and that the truth can be argued and debated. Take the recent weather issues all across our country and our globe, from Long Beach to Long Island. The truth? We did it to ourselves, we were warned, we ignored it. All of us. Oh, I went vegan for the planet. And I drive a 70 mpg motorscooter. But I still have a 2001 Lexus SUV that take 17 gallons of gas. I blame not being to afford electric, I blame the oil companies, I blame government for not making cities more walkable. But the truth? I know driving it kills the planet every single time I drive, but I still do it. It's convenient. It's necessary. And it's killing my home. I could take busses. Walk, Bike. But I don't. And my home is not solar. I blame the HOA. But I could move to where I could be solar. But doing the right thing takes sacrifice, and myself, and others, will only do so much. The truth? Donald Trump should have been removed the first time around, and then jailed. He wasn't. MAGA is an infestation that started during the civil war, because we never dealt with the South properly, just like we didn't deal with the J-6ers properly. They should have been tried, and capital punishment for treason dished out. But nope. Here's the truth. Most of this is because we won't face the truth. Because it's often uncomfortable, and ugly. And that goes for me like anybody else. #TheKarelCast, #Karel, #TheTruth, #UncomfortableTruths, #AmericanValues, #ClimateChange, #ClimateCrisis, #ExtremeWeather, #PersonalResponsibility, #ClimateAccountability, #PoliticalAccountability, #Trump, #MAGA, #LGBTQ, #vegan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYDASEDLXVg

Brill AN OPEN FORUM FOR PROGRESSIVE WRITERS AND THINKERS The Athletes' Voices Andreia Do you believe that female athletes are not as interesting as male athletes? Not as strong or performant? What if I told you that your perception probably comes from the poor media coverage in women’s sports? UNESCO estimates that globally 4% of sports media coverage is about women. According to a study published in 2020: Female athletes receive the same amount of news coverage as they did in the 1980s. They are also often photographed in “passive” poses, compared to the “active” poses of their male counterparts. I believe, it’s time to change that! This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn about women’s sport. But I’m doing it mostly for women who like me felt like they could never understand sports, that it wasn’t their place but still deep down had an interest in it. So let’s keep learning with the athletes’ voices!
