I write about nationalism, sustainable economies, public history, social movements, immigration, MeToo issues, and ethical travel. Since November 2023, I have been living on the road, staying in a different country every month. I write about that experience in my Aging on the Run series.

It is May 2019. I’m on the #5 bus in Minneapolis, headed north on Chicago Ave toward downtown. This bus is the primary means to Hennepin County Medical Center, and the issue of space is premium. Like all city buses there are sections reserved for those traveling in wheelchairs and those who must have a seat in front for some reason. If no one needs them, those spaces are open to anyone.
The Urban Rural Divide and Just Sustainability for the 99%
Every election cycle we hear about the urban/rural divide, pitting blue against red. There are a hundred theories about how one side or the other can emerge the winner. Rarely do any of these theories address the concerns of working and poor people.

Never Again
The America’s Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is reopening in 2022. It was closed for twelve years. Milwaukee cancelled its financial support for the public history site shortly after the death of its founder, Dr. James Cameron, the only known survivor of a lynching.
Dr. Cameron got the idea for his museum after visiting the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. I have not been to this US Museum, but I have toured German concentration camps several times and I am always struck by how Germany works to never forget while the US, which must be forced to remember. The foreclosure of America’s Black Holocaust Museum, by Milwaukee officials is emblematic of that eagerness to bury the history of US terrorism.
