Truth Is the First Casualty of War
Chris Hedges
In the old communist countries, comrades who fell out of favor were crudely cut out of photographs. Today in the Digital Era it’s easy to electronically eliminate a person and/or their work. Take Chris Hedges. His show On Contact was aired on RT, a Russian state TV network. It was on YouTube when suddenly its […]
The Future of Media
Craig Aaron
The Digital Age has transformed the traditional media landscape. The so-called Fourth Estate is reeling. Thousands of journalists have lost their jobs. Newsrooms have shrunk. Beats have been eliminated. Bureaus have closed. Many important stories are given short shrift or not covered at all. Investigative journalism may soon be an endangered species. City hall and […]

Extinction Rebellion, the Climate Crisis & Civil Resistance
Roger Hallam
Extinction Rebellion, also simply known as XR, is a global environmental movement. It was founded in the UK with the explicit aim of using nonviolent civil resistance to compel government action to avoid ecological collapse. The latest UN IPCC report paints a dire picture of what the future will bring. By 2050, a billion people […]
Mobilizing People
Ralph Nader
Concentrated wealth and power undermine democracy and advance plutocracy. The 1% have an inordinate influence over the rest of us. Wall Street dominates Main Street.

Julianne Malveaux

Little attention is paid to King’s remarkable political and social evolution in the last five years of his life. He became a trenchant critic […]

Malcolm X
Malcolm X is a singular figure in African-American history. He led an extraordinary life. He was born in an impoverished family in Omaha, NE on May 19, 1925. He recalled being “dizzy” with hunger. He said, “My whole life has been a chronology of changes.” Indeed it was. He went through a remarkable series of […]

What Will You Say in 2030?
Angela Davis
Imagine it is 2030. A youngster asks you, What was is like back then at the turn of the century? What will you say about capital punishment, the drug war, guns or why more money was spent on prisons than education? What will you say about racism, the criminal justice system and the vast discrepancies […]
Intellectuals, Ideology & the State
Eqbal Ahmad
What role do intellectuals play in society? Are they apparatchiks, yes men and women or do they challenge the half-truths, mendacities and fabrications of the rich and powerful? Noam Chomsky explored these themes in his famous essay, “The Responsibility of Intellectuals.” published in The New York Review of Books during the height of U.S. aggression in Indochina. […]
