ANNUAL TIME MAGAZINE "TIME 100" -- 
SPOTLIGHTING ONE HONOREE

Each year, Time magazine publishes its choice for the "100 Most Influential People." We want to share a look at one of them.

On Wednesday, April 17, Time 100 named AOC -- New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez -- to their Time 100. And they gave Senator Elizabeth Warren (D, MA) the honor of writing the blurb about AOC.

In response, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez Tweeted, "Couldn't be more honored and humbled to read these words from a woman I admire so deeply. Thank you, Senator Warren, for your tireless fight for working families."

We agree with Time's pick. We could tell you why, but we think Senator Warren did just fine in that department, so we're reprinting this from the Time 100, as made into a nifty poster by the Bold Progressives organization:

Recently, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes."

Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has made some tactical errors -- that's to be expected given her comp,ete lack of prior political experience. But she has been on the right side of many issues that matter. She reminds us of a real-life version of Jimmy Stewart's character in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," the Frank Capra classic. In that and all her genuine roots in achievement through hard work, she gives us faith that good people do still enter politics, and it need not be a game of thrones played by oligarchs, with the rest of us their pawns.

It's less than ten months to the California Primary -- moved-up from June to March of 2020, so Californians will have a key voice in picking the next president. (AOC isn't running -- she's too young. The Constitution says you must be 35 or older to be president.)

Memorial Day 2019: a Challenging Perspective

by Lawrence Wines  It really bothers me that "honoring the service of our veterans" has become a door-opener for lemming-like support of the warconomy. Memorial Day was devised as a way to support widows and orphans of Union dead from the Civil War. By extension, because we keep having wars and so many people show-up to get killed in them, Memorial Day continued its purpose to honor the fallen of all our wars. That's not meant to diminish recognition of the necessity of military response to global fascism in the Second World War, when the outcome would determine what kind of world we would have. Nor can we be deluded into believing that valor, bravery, and sacrifice were unique to that war. Those human traits can be found in every generation, and we should recognize how problematic that is: because battlefield sacrifices are made, at terrible cost, in all manner of conflicts that influence nothing greater than which group of rich manipulators will be given the upper ha...

WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT. Reader and contributor orientation. Late April, 2019. Single-item pullout.

You're in the right place! This is the link for just this one feature. But this one is more than an archived "stand alone." It's essential orientation, and your invitation to play! This appears in the FULL EDITION, with all the other stories published on the same date, and a TABLE OF CONTENTS of that edition, at: https://news-events-perspectives.blogspot.com/2019/04/news-events-perspectives-associated.html ___ +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT.  (The longest thing in this edition.) W elcome!  In the changing world of journalism, many experienced writers, investigative journalists, and print media reporters have lost their jobs due to corporate mega-mergers and the inevitable downsizing that follows. That's also true in television and radio newsrooms, though it's far worse in print-and-web "printed word" reporting. Over 2,400 journalists -- many of them investigative repor...
