Dorian Warren, Josh Holland and No-Fly Zone in Arizona
March 30, 2011"It's a targeting of workers' abilities to come together against big companies," says Columbia University professor Dorian Warren of the Walmart v. Duke case. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments from both sides on whether a class-action lawsuit that pits female employees since 1998 against the corporate giant Walmart will be permitted.The F Word: Bring the No-Fly Zone Home to Arizona
March 30, 2011Could Obama and his supporters take a break from celebrating so-called no-fly zones -- and take a look at what's happening in Arizona?Bill Quigley, Marie St. Cyr, and Caring
January 11, 2011"We in the U.S. have more people in jail than anywhere else in the world, we spend more on our military than the whole world combined, we have more guns, yet people somehow feel insecure," notes Bill Quigley of the culture in the U.S. Questions about guns aren't the only questi0n to be asked in the wake of the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, Judge John Roll, and several others in Arizona this weekend. There are many questions to be asked, about priorities, motives, and more.The F Word: Choosing Care for Haiti, Somalia, Ourselves
January 11, 2011The New York Times this weekend told the story of Dr. Hawa Abdi, a Somali physician who runs a clinic, school, and food program that supports tens of thousands of Somali people who live without a functioning government.Salvador Reza: Creating a Climate of Hate
January 11, 2011Immigrants rights activist Salvador Reza wasn't as shocked as the rest of us when he heard that Gabrielle Giffords and several other people had been shot in Tucson, Arizona. He's used to what he calls the "climate of hate" in Arizona lately, especially around immigration and children of immigrants. From Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Minutemen to State Senator Russell Pearce and bills that demonize immigrants while loosening gun regulations, Reza notes, Arizona has been building its reputation as a state on the brink.Rep. Raul Grijalva, Amanda Terkel, and Salvador Reza
January 10, 2011"In a very human way you just don't ever think something like this can happen," says Tucson Representative Raul Grijalva, whose district is near that of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, shot on Saturday at a community event. Six people died in the shootout, which left Rep. Giffords and others in critical condition.Wells Fargo Gives Arpaio the Boot
February 25, 2010Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been under investigation and the subject of constant protest over his racial profiling and abuse of power in Arizona. Now, Wells Fargo has served Arpaio with an eviction notice from his offices. Dennis Gilman sent us this video in celebration.Daniel Ellsberg, Beyond the Echo Chamber, and Racial Profiling
February 25, 2010The Bush administration thrived on secrecy; Obama promised more transparency, but has yet to really deliver. What's more, when information does come out, it seems that accountability is nearly impossible to get: the torture memos were released, but there will be no trials. We ask Daniel Ellsberg, one of the world's most famous whistleblowers, if there's anything the people can do to take the power back.A Memo To Sheriff Arpaio
March 3, 2009In Arizona, several thousand people marched on Saturday to protest Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Program’s (ICE) sweeping crackdown on illegal immigrants.Europe Protests, America Sleeps
March 2, 2009From Dublin to Iceland, European workers are not only protesting the financial crisis and the bank bailouts but nearly three decades of neo-liberal reform and free market fundamentalism. Fighting for immigrant rights in Arizona. And the Coen Brothers take on clean coal.
