This week on Acronym TV, Donald Trump is trying to get kicked off the curb by the Republican Party – and his high poll numbers that continue to climb are a sobering commentary on xenophobia, alive and well in America.

Meanwhile in Paris, activists prepare for massive 12.12.12. protests (Dec. 12 at 12pm) as the 21st United Nations climate summit ends – in the words of Chris Hedges, “with lofty rhetoric and ineffectual cosmetic reforms.”

Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.
