Those who cannot choose their own leaders, who are forced by violence to bend to authority, are slaves. In America, we still have, for a moment, a choice: We can be Kings or we will be Slaves. Choose today.… READ MORE
Acting Venezuelan president Delcy Rodriguez and Donald Trump desire the same thing: to send Venezuelan oil to the US. But Donald, we already had Venezuelan oil…until YOU embargoed imports of their crude. … READ MORE
It was 2002 when Delcy Rodriguez, sworn in today as President of Venezuela, came to my apartment in London well after midnight to tell me, a BBC television reporter, that the US was planning to kidnap, and likely assassinate, the then-president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. … READ MORE
25 years of investigations. Millions of voters erased. A system built to decide elections before you ever touch a ballot. Vigilantes Inc. exposes the real-life hunt for ‘illegal voters’ — and the shocking truth behind who’s actually being targeted. … READ MORE
You can make a difference and already have. Atlanta Public Radio reported that without Greg Palast’s investigation, Raphael Warnock would not have been elected in Georgia’s 2020 Special Election Senate race. The purpose was never to elect anyone. It was to defend the basic idea that voters, not … READ MORE
Donald Trump just announced he will pardon the former President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez, serving time after his conviction for flooding the US with cocaine — while at the same time all but announcing he’s going to murder Nicolas Maduro, President of Venezuela. Trump has declared a “no-fly zone” over Venezuela and laid siege to the nation, acts of war. … READ MORE
Forgive me, but I have to send a little thank you to Jeffrey Epstein. The latest cache of the predator’s memos have finally brought down Lawrence Summers, once President of Harvard University, once US Secretary of the Treasury and the dark eminence behind banking deregulation and mass home foreclosures. And worse. The newly released emails revealed that Epstein agreed to be Summers’ “wing man,” advising… READ MORE
No Kings in San Diego was a helluva party, 50,000 celebrating — while at the same time fearing for — that delicate thing called democracy. A thousand American flags fluttered. America at its best. Hell, it could turn you into a patriot. But what was our demand? What did we want to get from the march of seven million? What would we recognize as a victory? … READ MORE
Leading up to the 2024 election, 4.7 million Americans were wiped off the voter rolls, a daylight robbery of democracy, an outcome not based on the will of the voters but on the cruel, racially poisoned trickery we politely call “vote suppression.” To prevent another electoral crime wave sabotaging the 2026 midterms, we’re launching the counterattack. Joined with… READ MORE
African-American radio host Cleopatra Draper is worried. The victory of Democratic Socialist Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan Democratic primary for US Senate has revealed a growing political schism between Black and Arabic voters. According to the Cook Report, Stevens … READ MORE
I watched the late night yucksters like Jon Stewart and Seth Meyers get a bunch of cheap guffaws out of Trump’s supposedly inept attempt at comedy at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but his performance was at a level that took him a step above comic geniuses. The audience of not-too-clever journalists didn’t get it, while … READ MORE
Thom Hartmann, the historian and talk show host, has put on his Sherlock Holmes’ deerstalker hat and discovered that the Citizens United decision was based on the fraudulent reporting of a key Supreme Court case way back in 1886. A corrupt clerk … READ MORE
I laughed when Trump announced that the Chinese “hacked” a hundred million US voter files — voter’s address, party preference etc. If China spent money to hack this info, they overspent because… READ MORE
In his new film, The Welcome Table, Josh Fox has traded the point-and-shoot of his seminal Gasland for lush cinematography on five continents. But it ain’t some Discovery Channel travelogue. Fox has brilliantly melded the burning issues of immigration and climate change. Even if you just think global warming is a bunch of hot air (pun intended), this documentary will just knock you out. … READ MORE
Heather Cox Richardson had it right about Graham Platner. What the hell were Democrats doing running this guy for the United States Senate?
We have a President with zero qualifications for the job, who had zero experience. So Democrats decided, Why not? Why can’t we put in a guy with zero experience, zero qualifications, since the… READ MORE
When it comes to America’s semiquincentennial birthday, I feel like someone whose husband has gotten fat and surly and announced he’s going vegan. You just have to keep reminding yourself of those Good Old Days when he was a promising … READ MORE
