The fact that Target’s Halloween costume resembling racist minstrel performers was even considered to be sold is instructive of why DEI matters. Any Black person in the chain of command for non-character costumes would have struck it down immediately.

They used 911 to start a culture war against the middle east. They thought everything would slide democratic without an ounce of evidence. The people became fed up, rejected Bush, rejected HRC, and elected Obama. A rout of institutional power which they have fought since. They/Trump=not the people.

"Ratko Mladic is dead and there is not much to say. Nor does that fact change much. It doesn't bring back the dead. It doesn't clear mass graves. It does not change judgment. It does not turn the criminal into a historical figure."

My course, "Hitler and Stalin Today," is available for free online. Through 10 lectures, I examine Nazi and Soviet responses to the new globalized world they shared, and what we should have learned from the 20th century.

60 years ago today, BATMAN was released in theaters, and not only is one of the great underrated comedies of the '60s, but when it comes to delivering the message "some days you just can't get rid of a bomb," it's second to nun.

My worth as a human being is not defined by what I can sell to the capitalists but by what I give everyday to others freely. Power to the people, down with Capital, long live the districts.

Editor's Note: This might be our easiest Rising Star pick so far, given how anti-human rights the incumbent has been.

Why don't you just leave the Senate instead of the party?
You are NOT wanted in the Democratic party or ANYWHERE!
You are a disappointment to your constituents & your country!
Don't bother running for reelection,
You have 0 support
You are a danger to democracy & your family!

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
