The only useful thing to deduce from polls more than a year away from the next presidential election is this from Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin: “We have a deficit of accurate, reliable information in the electorate.” She’s right. A ghastly chunk of today’s voters simply don’t know what they’re talking about. “They tell pollsters […]
“DEI!” It’s the new Red (state) Scare :by John Young
At the college where I teach, the school year started with an “LGBTQ Appreciation” reception. It was followed by a Black student reception, followed by a first-generation student event. Then the school celebrated a new multicultural resources zone at the student center. At my school, the words “diversity, ethnicity and inclusion” are points of pride. […]
Racist designs of the Big Lie players: by John Young
Nobody ever accused Donald Trump of not knowing his constituency. Having lost the presidency, having made a list of suspects behind the “steal” (which he concocted long before losing), he and his MAGA kin have compiled a list of new offenses linked to the theft. The terms fit well with the old Jim Crow standby, […]
News for New Hampshire by Bernie Sanders
It has always been my view that good policy is good politics. If you deliver for the American people, if you address their needs, they will respond accordingly. It has also been my view that being honest with the American people, even when speaking the truth is uncomfortable and painful, is not only the right […]
Corruption Lady is a Junkie Now: by John Young
Reviewing my shiny new set of Fulton County Indictment Cards, hearing a TV analyst piercingly call events “corruption colliding with consequences,” I thought of a nice old lady I encountered in 2016.

OMG: actual voter fraud! by John Young
Well, Republicans: Now you can tell the bleeding hearts at the Brennan Center for Justice how wrong they are. Named for the late Justice William Brennan, fiercely dedicated to voting rights, the center calls the modern-day wave of Republican “ballot security” and “voter ID” measures a “solution in search of a problem.” Meaning the “problem” […]
We Did Not Evolve to Be Selfish—and Humans Are Increasingly Aware We Can Choose How Our Cultures Can Evolve: By April M. Short
Ours is a critical time in the cultural evolution of humanity that is likely to shape our long-term future, or lack thereof. As a species, we have been on a self-destructive trajectory that has led us to our current polycrisis of unlivable economic conditions, worsening climate disasters, and the potential of an unspeakably devastating war, as the […]
Making Sense of Florida’s Nonsensical History Curriculum: By Sonali Kolhatkar
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is waging a war on history. The GOP’s aspiring presidential candidate saw how effectively Donald Trump tapped into white conservatives’ fears of demographic change and seems to want to use that same tactic to catapult himself into the White House. In 2021 and 2022, DeSantis championed the smugly named “Stop WOKE […]
How to Fix Our Food System :By Reynard Loki
No food should be worth the amount of suffering experienced by sentient animals trapped in our food system.
Why Capitalism Is Leaving the U.S., in Search of Profit: By Richard D. Wolff
