Friday, May 19, 2023The Speech That Biden Should Give: 'I've Changed My Mind' The Speech That Biden Should Give: 'I've Changed My Mind'
Friday, January 13, 2023The Myth of the "Moderate Republican" -- and Why It's So Dangerous The current notion of a "moderate Republican" is an oxymoron that helps to move the country rightward. Last week, every one of the GOP's so-called "moderates" voted to install House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who won with the avid support of Donald Trump and got over the finish line by catering to such fascistic colleagues as Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert.

Friday, November 11, 2022The Biden Albatross Joe Biden should not be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. If he runs for re-election, representing the status quo, the outcome would likely be disastrous.
Wednesday, October 26, 2022Progressives have but One Option on Election Day - Vote to Defeat The Neo-Fascist GOP Progressives have overarching responsibilities to oppose the corporate power that ushers in oligarchy and also to oppose the far-right forces that lead to tyranny.
Tuesday, May 31, 2022How About Some Gun Control at the Pentagon? The weapons of war that maim and kill, the big ones and the small, let's do something to curb them all.
Sunday, March 27, 2022Biden's Unhinged Call for Regime Change in Russia Ever since Joe Biden ended his speech in Poland on Saturday night by making one of the most dangerous statements ever uttered by a U.S. president in the nuclear age, efforts to clean up after him have been profuse. Administration officials scurried to assert that Biden didn't mean what he said. Yet no amount of trying to "walk back" his unhinged comment at the end of his speech...
Wednesday, March 23, 2022From Moscow to Washington, the Barbarism and Hypocrisy Don't Justify Each Other Russia's war in Ukraine -- like the USA's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq -- should be understood as barbaric mass slaughter. For all their mutual hostility, the Kremlin and the White House are willing to rely on similar precepts:

Wednesday, February 23, 2022Bob Dylan and the Ukraine Crisis Fifty-nine years ago, Bob Dylan recorded "With God on Our Side." You probably haven't heard it on the radio for a very long time, if ever, but right now you could listen to it as his most evergreen of topical songs:
Monday, January 31, 2022The United States to Russia - Do as We Say Not as We Do As we face the most dangerous crisis in decades that risks pushing the world into nuclear war very few are doing anything more than mouth safe platitudes.
Sunday, January 16, 2022Ominous History in Real Time: Where We Are Now in the USA An all-out war on democracy is now underway in the United States. More than ever, the Republican Party is the electoral arm of unabashed white supremacy as well as such toxicities as xenophobia, nativism, anti-gay bigotry, patriarchy, and misogyny.
Tuesday, October 5, 2021Stop Calling the Military Budget a 'Defense' Budget It's bad enough that mainstream news outlets routinely call the Pentagon budget a "defense" budget. But the fact that progressives in Congress and even many antiwar activists also do the same is an indication of how deeply the mindsets of the nation's warfare state are embedded in the political culture of the United States.
Monday, September 13, 2021As War Keeps Poisoning Humanity, Organizing Continues to Be the Antidote Millions of Americans fervently oppose the military-industrial complex and its extremely immoral nonstop warfare. CodePink and Massachusetts Peace Action hosted a national webinar to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11 -- the day before Sunday's launch of the Cut the Pentagon campaign -- and the resulting video includes more than 20 speakers who directly challenged the lethal orthodoxy of the warfare state.

Thursday, August 12, 2021Why Corporate Liberalism Is No Match for Trumpism Forces aligned with Donald Trump have been upping the ante all year with hyperactive strategies that could enable Republican leaders to choke off democracy, ensuring that Trump or another GOP candidate captures the presidency in 2024.
Wednesday, August 4, 2021Nina Turner's Loss Is Oligarchy's Gain The race for a vacant congressional seat in northeast Ohio was a fierce battle between status quo politics and calls for social transformation. In the end, when votes were counted Tuesday night, transactional business-as-usual had won by almost 6 percent.
Wednesday, July 21, 2021Who's Afraid of Nina Turner? Nina Turner is very scary -- to power brokers who've been spending big money and political capital to keep her out of Congress. With early voting underway, tensions are spiking as the decisive Democratic primary race in northeast Ohio nears its Aug. 3 finish. The winner will be virtually assured of filling the seat in the deep-blue district left vacant by Rep. Marcia Fudge when she became President Biden's HUD secretary.
Thursday, July 15, 2021Bernie Sanders Has Bonded with President Biden. Is That Good? President Biden's recent moves to curtail monopolies have stunned many observers who -- extrapolating from his 36-year record in the Senate -- logically assumed he would do little to challenge corporate power.
