Occupy.com editor Michael Levitin speaks on the “The Newsmakers” about the global Occupy movement, how it is resonating with the current street protests roiling Paris, and where Bernie Sanders fits in.
This last month has shown America that society will gladly tolerate vigilante violence, provided a vigilante chooses the right target.
President-elect Donald Trump isn’t just appointing incompetent buffoons to his Cabinet, but deeply immoral individuals who are completely lacking in family values.
Biden cared more about the appearance of having an independent DOJ untainted by politics than he did about holding an unrepentant criminal ex-president accountable.
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.
This last month has shown America that society will gladly tolerate vigilante violence, provided a vigilante chooses the right target.
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.

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.

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.

No change in US
As briefly as possible, the issues here all tend to revolve around/lead to the notion of socialism. Sen. Sanders has reportedly expressed support for democratic socialism (there are several forms of socialism) in the past. Today, he is running for the opportunity to represent all people, and the US overall rejects democratic socialism. Liberals seem to like the sound of it, but let's be realistic. Democratic socialism does, indeed, include a legitimate welfare system. When was the last time you heard even liberals call for restoring the basic human rights (per the UN's UDHR) of food and shelter to America's poor?
I can't say what it's like elsewhere, but in the US, people so strongly believe in the success of the corporate state that they think everyone is able to work, there are jobs for all, therefore no need for poverty relief. This indicates that progressive change is not possible in the foreseeable future.
