An insightful article by George Yancy via @truthout.org:
I Am on Kirk’s “Professor Watchlist.” I Know How It Destroys Civil Debate.

🆕 Kamala Harris's NEW book fails to answer the most pressing questions.

❓ "...how could Harris be working so closely with the president and pretend there was no problem?"

9 decades have passed since aerial technology began assisting war makers—since then, it has become a tool of systemic brutality.

Loyal to the “war on terror” brand, the American media establishment barely feigns concern about civilian deaths & suffering.

From Guernica to Gaza, Air War Is a Horror That Lets Its Perpetrators off the Hook

An idea has emerged among US leaders that it’s not really a war if Americans are above it all & aren’t dying. But what is it to the civilians below?
