America's Nazi Problem and the End of Policing
Henry Giroux | counterpunch.org | 2021-06-04
The Black Lives Matter movement has made clear that America is reproducing alarming echoes of the past. It has exposed the mobilizing passions and ideological discourses of fascism evident in Trumpland. At a different time in history, Cedric Robinson identified this American form of fascist politics as racial capitalism. [3] According to Robinson, America had its own home-grown version of fascism, which did not simply emulate the fascist European movements of the 1920s but reached back to the era of Jim Crow and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the United States.[4] Fascism was no longer viewed as simply an import…

Bolivia has the largest percentage of Indigenous people in the Americas, and Evo Morales was the country's first Indigenous president. His government had undertaken numerous reforms and economic policies that had benefited Bolivia's Indigenous people, who are economically disadvantaged relative to the rest of the population.

Four Things to Know About Israel's New 'Change Coalition'
RobertAlvarez | ips-dc.org | 2021-06-04
In Israel's parliament, the Knesset, a broad but shaky new "change coalition" claims it's ready to finally oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — the right-wing Likud leader who's held the office for the last 12 years. | If approved, the new coalition would anoint as prime minister Naftali Bennett, a former Netanyahu ally who supports settlement expansion and annexation of much of the West Bank, and who is significantly further to the right than Netanyahu himself. In theory, if it stays in power for two years, the more centrist Yair Lapid would then take over as prime minister. But that's a big "if" [mdas…

Anderson says the Second Amendment was always intended to be a means of arming white people to control the Black population. "There was this massive fear about these…

100+ Democracy Scholars Issue Dire Warning About Threats to Voting Rights in US
Staff | truthout.org | 2021-06-02
I cannot write computer code, and I have no idea how to make a decent roux. The engine block on a standard-issue Honda may as well be a Rubik's Cube to me. I don't know how to serve drinks to 25 people simultaneously from behind the bar on a busy game day. I couldn't begin to conduct an autopsy, or a symphony. In a million years I would not try to drive an 18-wheeler through a Colorado snowstorm, because I would die explosively for lack of experience. I do what I do, and am thrilled on the…

Here's How to Fight Climate Destruction and Environmental Racism Simultaneously
Staff | truthout.org | 2021-06-02
Historically, there have been tensions between the climate movement, which seeks to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in order to stop the heating of the planet, and the environmental justice (EJ) movement, which focuses on the harms caused by more localized pollution such as smog. Many people associate the climate movement with middle-class whites and the EJ movement with working-class people of color. This distinction is problematic given that poor and nonwhite people are the fo…

Canadian colonialism in all of its brutality often goes undiscussed in conversations regarding North America due to the fixation upon its neighbour, the United States. The truth is though that Canada's friendly and innocent image that has been pushed into the international media has been built upon the genocide of their native population.

Defeated in Gaza, Israeli political parties intend to get rid of Netanyahu | Although he is a master political survivalist, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to have managed to unify most Israeli political parties against him. The bad news is that his most likely successor, Naftali Bennett, is one who has said that Palestinians are committing "self-genocide" in order to claim the world's attention. | In March, Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party won the most seats in the parliamentary elections, but with a mere 30 failed to secure an outright majority. | This is Naftali Bennett, the man who will l…

"Exterminate All the Brutes": Filmmaker Raoul Peck Explores Colonialism & Origins of White Supremacy

A new four-part documentary series, "Exterminate All the Brutes," delves deeply into the legacy of European colonialism from the Americas to Africa. It has been described as an unflinching narrative of genocide and exploitation, beginning with the colonizing of Indigenous land that is now called the United States. The documentary series seeks to counter "the type of lies, the type of propaganda, the type of abuse, that we have been subject to all of these years," says director and Haitian-born filmmaker Raoul Peck.

Richard Wright's Novel About Racist Police Violence Was Rejected in 1941; It Has Just Been Published
Staff | democracynow.org | 2021-05-31
Nearly 80 years ago, Richard Wright became one of the most famous Black writers in the United States with the publication of "Native Son." The novel's searing critique of systemic racism made it a best-seller and inspired a generation of Black writers. In 1941, Wright wrote a new novel titled "The Man Who Lived Underground," but publishers refused to release it, in part because the book was filled with graphic descriptions of police brutality by white officers against a Black man. His manuscript was largely forgotten until his daughter Julia Wright unearthed it at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Ya…
