Breaking: Republicans hear woman's testimony on... →
Maria was going to show another picture to the House subcommittee yesterday, this photo, which is a photo of a five year old child bathing in that kind of brown, poisonous water. The child is naked, as you normally are when you bathe. I’d invite you to click that link, and think about what, if anything, distresses you about it… Maria was told that she would not be allowed to show that photo. It...

White privilege is living on stolen land, and having the arrogance to say “Go back to where you came from”.

The War in Afghanistan is No Longer Tenable in... →
Count this as the most under-covered story of the week: late Thursday, Republicans in the House of Representatives forbade a vote on a resolution that would end the war in Afghanistan next year—because they knew it would pass. This means that, though we don’t have the roll call vote to prove it, Obama’s current strategy for Afghanistan is no longer sustainable in Congress.

Obama Campaign Launches Huge Voter Protection... →
Thank you, president Obama, for setting up GottaVote.org, a bilingual (English and Spanish) voting laws education site. I know it was done to increase voter turnout among your supporters, but a lot of people can benefit from this.
Check your state’s laws! Fight to keep your basic democratic rights!
And please reblog this so as many people as possible can gain access to this site.

The identity of being Asian doesn’t exist, except here in the United States!- William Schneider, Political Analyst
Read that. Read that again. That’s important - like Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans are not one big homogeneous group. They come from tens of different countries, innumerable different backgrounds, and, as pointed out, many linguistic backgrounds. Asian-Americans,...

From David Firestone, New York Times ————
“Florida Republicans have gone so far in trying to tilt the voter rolls to their advantage that two higher powers were forced to step in yesterday to right the balance. In 2008, registration drives brought thousands of young, black, Hispanic or low-income voters to the polls, many of whom helped President Obama win the state. To prevent that from...

What is Marxism →
amodernmanifesto:
We are reproducing a slightly edited version of What is Marxism? by Rob Sewell and Alan Woods, last published in 1983 to celebrate the centenary of the death of Karl Marx. The three articles on the fundamental aspects of Marxism, Marxist Economics, Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism were originally published separately in the 1970s. These articles are a good,...

jensenjaundice:
Until today I’d assumed “whitewashing” (the practice of bleaching one’s skin to alter its color to a lighter and thus more appealing tone) had all but died in most parts of the modern world.
Holy fuck was I wrong.
This year, British Vogue’s November 2011 cover features none other than Rihanna (aka, the sexiest woman I’ve ever known) posing in one of her...

Asking him to spend an extended time in prison wasn’t about hoping for rehabilitation, but about a punitive measure, a reactive lashing-out.
And those wanting to see him deported were playing even more deeply into myths about justice in the United States. The same progressives who express concern about the way we handle immigrants were loudly shouting for Ravi’s expulsion from this country;...

Obama Better For Women
stfusexists:
liberalsarecool:
A new Kaiser Foundation poll finds people think President Obama would be better for women than Mitt Romney on a host of issues. “On who looks out for the best interests of women, Obama leads 52-26%. Among women voters, it’s 59-25%.”
Seems like only yesterday Romney was “rebounding with women.” The media wants this to be close, but the more you know about Mitt,...
