Great idea! Tells you everything you need to know about our society that there isn't something like the "Aarons" already. The glitzy annual Oscars jerk-off is always so disgusting but it perfectly embodies the best of the worst this society can urp up. Thanks for the mention! Mr. Fish is the greatest. Banksy, too.

I think this is a great idea. I've copied your list so I can go back and investigate and learn about some of these names that I don't recognize.

It's about time that those who do good are honored. Why should rich war hawks get all the glory and attention? I vote for Laura K at Normal Island News.

@normalislandnews deserves some sort of award for finding humour in the darkest of places without ever forgetting the horror of it all

I think Aaron's whole name needs to be recognized--Aaron Bushnell--for the BIG ACT behind it by a highly unique, courageous, compassionate and humane individual.

Why can't we as activists UNITE TOGETHER for the PEACE PLANET PARTY WAY that has a set of principles which brings forth a better system that is GOOD TO ALL -- where we exist in the dynamic of "harming none and helping all"? It is time for us to be pro-active and no longer reactive. The Peace Planet Party Way would be applicable to all nations of the Earth to FREE US ALL:

You have a lot of great ideas, and the “Aarons” is one of them. A person who entered my mind to nominate is Randy Credico, whom I don’t know but I follow him on X. He has been very involved in the Free Assange movement, and he operates a truck with digital images/messages on Assange that drives around NYC and Washington D.C. Now the truck is also displaying images of the genocide in Palestine. He has a cute pooch named Sofia who accompanies him on these ventures.

¡Brava!

A stroke of brilliance! Any attempt at a comprehensive list will go on for days! And that’s the way it should be. My group has been doing People’s Poetry Awards for years, surprising each recipient! And it’s always a treat to see the looks on their faces!

By the way, ideologically speaking, I like to call myself in the spirit of the original (1968) Poor People’s Campaign and their strong allies who fed them with free bread - the Diggers! So I support you calling yourself on what is true to you. It’s what helps bring us together.

You really think this guy was some sort of hero? Someone to look up to?

It looks as though Mister Bushnell's protest has flamed out. The war goes on.
