Roaming Charges: The Final Daze
JEFFREY ST. CLAIR
The hysteria over Trump’s election must be tempered by just how awful Biden has been after the entirely predictable, if sinister, decision of the American electorate to return him to power. The liberal abreaction to Trump has revealed how thoroughly blind many have been to the vileness of Biden and his obedient circle of advisors and enforcers. If a secret Biden was waiting until after the election to emerge, it was only a more malicious and baleful version of the Biden we’ve witnessed for the last four years.

Cities Made Differently: Try Imagining Another Urban Existence

Our first focus is Cities Made Differently, exploring different ways of living together. Read and imagine four different kinds of cities taken from our book which are listed below, and continue your exploration, downloadable at a4kids.org, for drawing and dreaming.
