Radical Lessons: Then & Now
Angela Davis, Ruth Wilson Gilmore
The 1960s have been largely romanticized and commodified. The Beatles, Woodstock, sit-ins, protests, and marches. Those years saw huge social change. Bottom-up grassroots movements rocked the establishment. A major symbol of those years was Angela Davis. She has this to say today: “The lesson is that even though we don’t have the same structures that […]
Palestine: After the Last Sky
Ramzy Baroud
Mahmoud Darwish, the national poet of Palestine in a famous couplet asks, “Where should we go after the last frontiers, where should the birds fly after the last sky?” For many displaced Palestinians Darwish speaks to their dilemma. Where should they go? The role of the U.S. in the conflict is enormous. It is heavily […]
Remake the World
Rebecca Solnit, Astra Taylor
While we are regaled with images of Mars, back here on Earth our planet and its people are in distress. The eco-crisis continues unabated. There are wars and the threats of wars.

The Broken Politics of the Middle East
Nader Hashemi
From Yemen to Iraq and from Libya to Syria, the Middle East is drenched in chaos and violence. The bright promises of the Arab Spring uprisings have disappeared into a dark winter.

Savagery at Home & Abroad
Chris Hedges
A new world order is emerging that is dangerously more wicked and destructive. Led by the United States, it is marked by savagery at home and abroad.

The Progressive Story of America
Bill Moyers
The U.S. economy grew steadily through most of the 1990s. However, nearly all of the newly created wealth has gone to the already rich, magnifying market-generated inequalities. President Bush and the Republicans have reduced taxes paid by the rich and services for everyone else, while increasing corporate subsidies. Democrats for the most part have not […]

Robert Hackett
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a contradictory record when it comes to the climate crisis.

James Hansen, […]
On Propaganda
Michael Parenti
Michael Parenti says, “The first premise of propaganda in the United States today is that it doesn’t exist, that there is no propaganda from the established media and from the government and that we have only ‘information.’ Propaganda is something that other people do.“ If you say that there is propaganda in the U.S. you […]

Noam Chomsky
About seven million households are facing possible foreclosure while Citigroup raked in almost $4.5 billion for the first quarter.

The Iran Deal
Trita Parsi
The self-styled deal maker is a deal-breaker when it comes to the historic agreement limiting Iranian uranium enrichment in return for the lifting of sanctions. Trump refused to certify Iranian compliance and passed the ball to Congress which now must decide. But the UN monitoring agency has determined that Tehran is adhering to the conditions […]
