(David Swanson) Already we’ve seen, as a result of people taking to the streets in the United States: Four policemen indicted. More racist monuments dismantled.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt American life, expanding legal services can help Americans endure. Eddie Brown seemed to fit the profile of a federal inmate most eligible for emergency release during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As a survivor of hepatitis C who had served six of his 15-year sentence, Brown should have been a [...]

Where Trump succeeds is in presenting himself as a Christian nationalist, much as Putin and Modi style themselves as the stout defenders of their countries’ dominant religions.

“A riot is the language of the unheard.” That’s Martin Luther King, Jr., folks.

I feel that black activists [...]

George Floyd’s death proves again why America needs to defund bloated and militarized police departments. Not since the mass protests that originated in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 when a white police officer killed a black man named Michael Brown has the United States witnessed the current magnitude of the movement against police brutality. The brutal [...]

Journalists and dissidents alike are being targeted by American police in the land of the free. Is it as simple as an out of control police force, or something more?

** The Charge of Racism is Partially Right and Partially Wrong ([link removed])

The charge of racism is partially right and partially wrong. The murder of George Forbes is a malevolent metaphor of life in the United States under the ruling class. Racism is a huge part of that larger class warfare being waged by those in power on those with less than. Less money, less education, less housing, less everything Except the power to protest inequity and inequality with people power.
