Bernie Sanders responded to the anti-Trump violence on Thursday with a statement that bears repeating: I understand how reprehensible and disgraceful Donald Trump’s positions are, how ignorant they are, how much he is appealing — and I can understand the anger, I surely can. The bigotry that is coming from his mouth, the insults to […]
© Tom Tomorrow I think if nothing else, Obama’s presidency has been worth it to highlight both how far we have come, but even more importantly how far we still have to go to end racism. I remember when it first became unfashionable to be racist. When people started using code words instead of being […]
© Matt Lubchansky I’m definitely not advocating violence. But America does seem to have a love-hate relationship with violence. We love the founding fathers and the Boston tea party, but we hate violent protests for civil rights. We love revolutionaries, as long as they aren’t socialists (although some people love Che Guevara, but mostly in […]
Last week, close to 100,000 people from 32 states held a massive protest in Raleigh, NC against the “immoral and unconstitutional policies” of the state’s Republican party, which controls both legislative chambers and the governorship.

Not recorded is any evidence at all of the apparently […]

You know it had to happen eventually. Fox News is now blaming ACORN for the Wall Street protests. Well, except that ACORN doesn’t exist anymore. Conservatives made sure of that, even fabricating evidence against them. But some of the same people who used to work for ACORN are now protesting. Well, duh.
