 In every capital, in city halls, in the offices of police chiefs, in courts common and supreme, dark faces sit, bearing titles of apparent power.
 Their presence suggests the rise of an abandoned class, the bright and shining avatars of progress.
 Any yet, as this image unfolds, how can it coexist amidst the dire and desperate straits of millions in Black […]

It is with amazement that we witness the faces and voices of wars past as they re-occupy the channels of the corporate media to crow for a more muscular foreign policy in light of events now occurring in the Ukraine and Russia.
In their martial mania for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq they have proven themselves inadequate to the task, […]

 If the national (corporate) media is to be believed, we are now at the 50 year mark of Black civil rights, marked by the 1964 passage of the Civil Rights Act, signed into law by the  late President, Lyndon B. Johnson.

While it is true that this happened, it is also true that for millions of Blacks in America, these are not the best of […]

 The mystery of Malaysia’s flight 370 has become the latest tool of corporate-media manipulation and over-saturation.
 Instead of reporting on facts and investigations, we get a plethora of speculation — rumor and frankly, fear-mongering.
 Why?

 Dear Sisters and Brothers;
Dear Members of DC-37, Local 372;
Dear fellow workers!
 As I thought about what to say to you, a thousand thoughts flooded my mind.

 For American to crow about ‘land grabs’, is above all, an […]
