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.
Ideological rigidity is not only keeping us from making inroads with mainstream society and growing our numbers—but effectively preventing us from accomplishing any actual policy goals.
If any of us hope to stop Donald Trump from becoming the 47th president of the United States, it will have to be done from the ballot box, not the courts.
Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.
From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.
Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

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.
