		<title>My morning at #OccupyMN #OccupyMPLS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This didn't feel like a resistance. It didn't feel like a protest.  It felt like a <em>construction</em> - of community building and democratic building.  It felt like a redefinition to a point where I don't even care if people insult the movement.  It really doesn't matter.  What does matter are the conversations in the plaza and of people opting in and voicing their knowledge and concerns and listening to each other.  It's something we've been missing.]]></description>

		<title>Occupy Wall Street: Snark&#8217;s Role in Demeaning the 99%</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In May, the New York Times reported on the challenges facing our current crop of recent college graduates. Of those under 25, and across the majors they analyzed with the data they had, the number of these individuals who were not working varied from 21.2% to 25.2%. I&#8217;ve seen critiques of the folks occupying Wall [...]]]></description>

		<title>The plume</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had bronchitis for the second time this year last week, and during it I happened to be listening to Science Friday when they had Laurie Garrett on. They were talking about different things: her book, her work consulting for films, and several different aspects of the environmental impacts of 9/11. She talked about something [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Pride. Would you&#8230;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Pride weekend in most of the major metro areas in the country and I wanted to bring you a little happiness and a word of caution. I am thrilled that New York&#8217;s legislators decided to vote yes on gay marriage. I sincerely hope we overcome the cruelty our own legislature is trying to inflict [...]]]></description>

		<title>Minnesota is better than its legislature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I cannot say that I feel profoundly hopeful today, because I don&#8217;t. However, Megan told me a couple of weeks ago that I am an idealist, which I scoffed at. I feel deeply cynical and exasperated. She countered that I am wrong about that. Cynical people, she said, don&#8217;t keep trying to change others&#8217; minds. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I love unions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Way back in the day, my grandfather was a union miner up in the Iron Range. He never graduated from high school, as was and is the case with many people living in poverty, but he was an intelligent guy. He was smart enough to know many things, but the two things I want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thirteen minutes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a plea for all of you. Take 13 minutes of your life. Listen to Bernie Sanders talking about incomes, estate taxes, and tax rates. I know it may not sound as fun as compulsively checking Facebook, but he does a better job of describing the dire situation we&#8217;re in during these 13 minutes [...]]]></description>
