The American Far Right’s, Racism’s & Neo-Liberalism’s Horrific Monster Bash
Some pretty ghoulish things have been taking place in our society, and in particular, in our nation’s capital. The terror of economic uncertainty – due in large part to the nightmarish games that are being played by the majority in our government’s House of horrors – continually grips us. We find ourselves in a real-life geopolitical H.G. Wellsian War of the Worlds – except in our case, it takes the form of the death-from-above through drone strikes that have devastated the l

RMG Thought Of The Day: The Trump Kool-Aid
When you really think about it, has this ever worked out in American history? The spray-tanned, thin-skinned, narcissistic malcontent wouldn't have it any other way. Intelligence is alien to him and empathy is his enemy. Why is that when he says he'll make American great again, I hear dueling banjos and have visions of plantations? #DonaldTrump #news #currentevents #politics #the1 #oligarchy #USpolicies

Oscar Lopez Rivera: Trump Caused 'Tremendous Damage' to Puerto Ricans
The activist said the only thing Puerto Rico and Louisiana had in common was the state's inaction. The former political prisoner and Puerto Rican independence fighter Oscar Lopez Rivera says the U.S. President Donald Trump has done “tremendous damage” to the Puerto Rican people by calling Hurricane Maria a “storm” and comparing the situation in Puerto Rico to the aftermath of Katrina in Louisiana in 2005. In an interview with teleSUR, the activist said the only thing Puerto R

This Aint About Us: The Key To Ethnic & Class Solidarity Is Whites Eradicating White Supremacy
Introduction “The logic of ‘race as a social construct’ must be tightened and the focus sharpened. Just as it is unhelpful, to say the least, to euphemize racial slavery in continental Anglo-America as ‘the Peculiar Institution,’ instead of identifying the "White race," itself, as the truly peculiar institution governing the life of the country after emancipation as it did in slavery times; just as it is not ‘race’ in general, that must be understood, but the ‘White race,’ in

Freedom Rider: Joe Arpaio Is No Aberration
“The carceral system must be torn out root and branch.” Even most leftish white Americans like to think that their country is good and its institutions are fair and equitable. According to this wishful thinking human rights abuses only happen in faraway places and injustices here are resolved by reining in a few bad apples. The facts say otherwise and prove that the United States is consistently one of the worst human rights violators in the world. The cruelty of its prison s

That’s Rich: The One Percent’s Hypocritical Litmus Test Of ‘Violence’
Donald Trump can always be counted on for a certain perspective. So when he - several years ago, before he was president - without context, asserted that our nation’s violent crime problem generates almost exclusively from the Black and Hispanic communities, it came as no surprise. The then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seemed to echo Trump’s remarks. We see his thinking at work in the decision to send ATF agents to Chicago like a foreign occupying army. What these st
