The Nation Can’t Wait Any Longer

The Nation Can’t Wait Any Longer By Lorenzo Canizares 6/1/22 Somebody would have to be willfully blind not to see the crisis of inaction that we are living through.

Who Are We Kidding About Our Democracy?

Who Are We Kidding About Our Democracy? By Lorenzo Canizares 12/12/21 President Biden has just finished his Democracy Summit, and not many people noticed.
