Charles Bursell Presents

Peter Donalds (aka Charles Bursell) shares personal reflections in this pilot episode of a potential podcast series. www.charlesbursell.com

Joe Biden hosts dozens of world leaders and corporate mucky mucks at today’s World Climate Summit. Here’s hoping they remember we are all animals sharing a fragile planet.  www.charlesbursell.com

Historic, somber accounting for a murder that should never have been. It took an unblinking video and worldwide protests to achieve base-line justice. www.charlesbursell.com

The US is NOT “already Socialist.” Also: how to shut down gun nuts with three words. www.charlesbursell.com

Progressives push court reform and DC statehood to fight minority rule while The Repugs advance bigoted anti-trans bills.  www.charlesbursell.com

Topics I’ve been avoiding: Woody Allen, Andrew Cuomo, and how sand, yes, sand, is killing the planet. Ugh. www.charlesbursell.com

A damning report on Insurrection Security, reparations legislation, GOP divestment, and ending a tragic chapter in Afghanistan. Also: popcorn salad is not a thing. www.charlesbursell.com

Well-intentioned voters are unwittingly propping up the hard right. To solve the nation’s most pressing problems good people must abandon the center and go Left. www.charlesbursell.com

We can’t train away the hate, it’s time to confiscate every cop’s gun and the power it provides. Demands: traffic enforcement, mental health, and all other non-violent calls should be handled by unarmed professionals, all beat cops should live in the neighborhood they patrol, abolish police unions. Until such laws are enacted, it’s time for private citizens to monitor, witness, record, and when necessary, intervene against police violence. www.charlesbursell.com

Are you seeing sexist “jokes” from your Liberal friends on social media? Also: Aaron Rodgers hosts Jeopardy, going big with the 117th Congress, and pushing for Capitol Attack investigations.  www.charlesbursell.com

The brave new world of digital money won’t eliminate its oldest and greatest sin: the massive theft of labor. www.charlesbursell.com

From state races to reconciliation, Gaetz-gate to cringey comedy, Conservatives are faceplanting and it’s damned entertaining.  www.charlesbursell.com

Reaction to voter suppression has unleashed a flurry of new alliances among Dems, Repugs, and Corporations that could permanently alter the political spectrum. www.charlesbursell.com

“White?” “European-American?” Whatever we call ourselves (please LOSE “Caucasian”), we’ve got to stop f#&%ing up! Also: more space for non-commercial relationships. www.charlesbursell.com

Joe is leaning Left but his “big and bold” plans fall short of ultimate transformation. Also: Legal weed on the march.  www.charlesbursell.com

Origins of "let the cat out of the bag," “caught red-handed,” “butter up” (that’s a weird one) and more. www.charlesbursell.com

The crib, your house and yard, parents and grandparents, images from old-time television… what are your first memories? www.charlesbursell.com

Satan and Lil Nas X’s old soft shoe, atheist inspiration, the joy of sex-positive WAP, and zero tolerance for bigotry.  www.charlesbursell.com

Charity will never solve social ills, but Socialism will. Also: Boycotting Coke, UPS, Home Depot, and Delta over Georgia’s Jim Crow. www.charlesbursell.com

State Republicans stage election coup, bigot cops revealed (again), and separating money from work. www.charlesbursell.com
