This week, we present Part II of our interview with former Philadelphia Police Capt. Ray Lewis and dig into some of the Philly PD's sordid past, preparing activists for what they might encounter as they take to the streets for justice and equality. But first, taste the empire's palette.
It is not hyperbole to say that the world’s richest man has now illegally seized control of America’s checkbook and the entire federal workforce.
Over the next four years, we’re about to be inundated with a flood of lies—including from federal agencies themselves.
We have to be smart in how we fight against Trump and the Republican Party this time around. That means picking our battles wisely, and not taking bait that’s dangled in front of our faces.
Over the next two years, Democrats have the unfettered ability to be an albatross around the neck of the GOP — and to make sure that what little they manage to get done due to their paper-thin majorities becomes the reason for their undoing.
This last month has shown America that society will gladly tolerate vigilante violence, provided a vigilante chooses the right target.

The way the urban commons create a space to solve material problems and enable social movements to forge city-wide networks are antidotes to people being attracted towards the far-right.

If the Democrats’ theme of 2017 was Resistance, the theme for Democrats in 2025 needs to instead be Opposition — and these two GOP senators may be the models to emulate.
President-elect Donald Trump isn’t just appointing incompetent buffoons to his Cabinet, but deeply immoral individuals who are completely lacking in family values.

The star-studded summer blockbuster has been lauded as a feminist film. But Barbie is not just pro-women—it’s also very pro-men.
"POTUS" is an acronym political journalists frequently use when talking about the President of the United States. However, "POTUS" seems a woefully soft and inadequate word to describe the current occupant of the Oval Office.
Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell talks about how Americans are welcoming surveillance devices like Ring and Nest into their homes, and — as they can now watch their front doors, babysitters, children and pets all day long — how surveillance has become normalized.

Define goals
"...take to the streets for justice and equality."
That sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if "justice and equality" can exist if it applies only to specific segments of the population and/or if a long list of caveats. When basic humanitarian aid is not an entitlement (by definition) in a modern, wealthy nation, it's a denial of justice and equality for the very poor. How would this concept apply to those who can't work, and those for whom there are no jobs? How does this apply to the masses who fall through all the truck-sized gaps in whatever remains of the "safety net"? In the US, our chosen social policies directly violate the UN's UDHR, with the approval of the middle class, indicating that Americans have a particularly flimsy grasp of those concepts.
In short, I think people need to clarify what it is that they're protesting, and that they want.
