Tariq Ali: Killing Bin Laden Was Not "Justice"
May 3, 2011"If the aim was to show us that state terror was more powerful than individual terrorists, we already knew that," says Tariq Ali of the U.S. special forces action that reportedly killed Osama bin Laden in Abottabad, Pakistan. As Americans celebrated outside of the White House and gathered at Ground Zero to remember those lost, Ali reminds us that bin Laden's death will not make the U.S. safer.Tariq Ali, Sonali Kolhatkar, and Voices from Ground Zero

February 5, 2011Women on the streets of Egypt this week: we see you. And those who blog, write and excite, we see you too. Our documentary of the week honors women who lead their communities in fights for justice. We Women Warriors features three female leaders of an indigenous people's movement in Colombia who have refused to allow their people to become a wedge between their nation's warring factions. The film is directed by Nicole Karsin, and you can find out more about it through the links here.Asmaa Mahfouz, Dave Zirin, We Women Warriors & Bradley Manning
February 4, 2011"As long as you say there is no hope, then there will be no hope, but if you go down and take a stance, then there will be hope." Those are the words of Asmaa Mahfouz, one of the founders of the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, who took to the Internet to spread her message in the days leading up to the protests, which have spread across her country and led to President Mubarak announcing he will not run for reelection. As the protesters continue their fight to get Mubarak out sooner rather than later, we bring you Asmaa's words to remember how all of this got started.Justice on Trial: Mumia Abu-Jamal and the Prison Industry
January 8, 2011"The new face of American racism is in the prison system," says Johanna Fernandez, producer of the film Justice On Trial, about Mumia Abu-Jamal and the American justice system. Adds reporter Linn Washington, "The issue is not hiding what has been hidden in plain sight. The issue is doing something about it."Justice on Trial, Microlending, and John Boehner's Tears

December 7, 2010The environmental and climate justice movement isn't just about saving polar bears from melting ice, argues writer and 350.org founder Bill McKibben. It's about rebuilding connection and community, changing the way human beings live, and working in solidarity with human rights organizations across the world to improve all of our lives. And the biggest stumbling block to the growth of a global climate justice movement? It's right under our noses: our own Congress.Tina Gerhardt and Bill McKibben
December 6, 2010Though there is little hope for a binding international agreement from the current round of climate talks held by the United Nations in Cancun this week, there is something different about the conversation. Tina Gerhardt reports that countries who are in attendance at the talks aren't talking about future consequences of global climate change, but instead talking about the crises they are suffering right now. From drought to floods, weather patterns are shifting and across the world, people are feeling the pain.Marcy Wheeler: Making a Mess of Justice, Finance, and More
November 19, 2010"You can't just have homeowners pay for the mess that the banks have made; not just of our finance system, it's becoming clear that they've made a mess of our private property system in this country," says Marcy Wheeler, who's been blogging the House and Senate hearings on the foreclosure crisis at her FireDogLake blog, and joins us via Skype to discuss the situation.Marcy Wheeler, Douglas Rushkoff, and GM Stock for Sale
