Here, in 2015, being one of two fracking towers was exciting, then exhausting. Even tho we got mainstream media hits, polluters built their fracked gas sh*^t on the Bay.Years on, I ask, what is a successful blueprint for restorative social or political change that’s desperately needed?

Another creative visual tactic in an existential crisis-besides mocking our oppressors-is to hold up beauty that everyone can agree on. …In this case, Chesapeake Bay creatures under threat from a fracked gas refinery and export facility ON the Bay. Yes it was built. Was it worth trying this tactic?

Another anti Iraq war action from 2007. We were tragi-comic police bobbies dancing and singing our way through our rage. At whom? Congressional Democrats whose votes proved their complicity in that tragic war and its aftermath, with terrible consequences continuing til today.

In 2011, after the Citizens United case, where the Supreme Court voted to allow corporate personhood, groups did a satirical rally. I was Mona Santo aka Monsanto (a friend’s idea). mockery was growing old for me. Yes, 2025 is the proof of success of the bad ppl’s long planned project. Where’s ours?

In 2010, at a big rally, a friend and I did a satirical skit. We were the Koch brothers. With money spilling out of, and stuck on, our clothes, and with greedy grins, we said “Widen the income gap. Privatize EVERYTHING.” 2025 is simply a culmination of the billionaire project.

Germany's Left Party has a new goal of cutting the wealth of billionaires in half within a decade. Ultimately, they "believe there should not be any billionaires." They aim to implement a wealth tax and raise inheritance and income taxes on the rich. www.dw.com/en/germanys-...
