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.
The American people clearly spoke, and the drubbing Democrats received requires looking beyond just issue polls, voting patterns, campaign strategy, or get-out-the-vote tactics.
The recent decisions by two of the most influential national newspapers of record to not publish their endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris says a lot about how seriously they take Trump’s threats to democracy and his promises of vengeance against his enemies.
On the eve of the historic November vote, it seems important to ask: What's wrong with men, how did we get here, and can we change this?
As Trump’s campaign grows increasingly bizarre, his team appears to be more tightly controlling his movements and carefully scripting his public appearances to minimize the negative impact his erratic behavior may have on undecided voters in swing states.
Throughout history, fascist governments have had a similar reliance on the use of lies as a weapon to take and retain power.
The country has never moved as close to the course it took under Benito Mussolini as it is doing now — and even if Meloni is not a neo-fascist politician, she has put herself in a position to appeal to and broaden fascism's political base.

Former President Donald Trump is now openly fantasizing about deputizing death squads against Americans.

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.
