I apologize in advance for all MY terrible pronunciations, but at least I did more than play "Despacito," which is all Joe Biden did to reach out to Chicano voters during "Hispanic" Heritage Month. But it was actually much, much worse...

The effects of climate change are real, we can't imagine them away or run away from the fight. Are we going to fight for our lives, or are we doing to keep believing the politicians and THEIR LIES?

When we in the US are constantly admonished to "Never Forget" 9/11, what they don't want us to ever know is all of the horrible acts the US was involved in on so many 9/11s before 2001 that led to the only 9/11 we pay attention to. We had better stop ignoring how US imperialism destroys lives around the world.

While Julian Assange is facing what appears to be a sham of an extradition trial in the UK, the fate of independent journalism in the US also hangs in the balance.

People love to blame Trump on the rise of fascism in the US, but the young Chairman of the Chicago Chapter of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense Fred Hampton said back in 1968 that fascism will kill us all.

The New March on Washington might have been a media spectacle for Sharpton, but dismissing its effectiveness doesn't negate that the issues from the original have been intentionally ignored and have brought us right to this moment in history.

While some obsess over property damage, the long history of Kenosha PD's abuse of mostly Black Kenoshans is ignored, and the racist foot soldiers for empire put their years of training and organizing for hate to use.

The Black Lineup at the Republican National Conventions is just as horrible as the Republican Lineup at the Democratic National Convention and now we can't tell either convention apart!
