Militants and Predator Drones: Who is the Real Terrorist?
July 15, 2010The Real News Network reports from Islamabad, Pakistan that while many students from tribal areas report that their communities oddly support the drone attacks, the majority of the country sees the predator drones as an encroachment on national sovereignty fostering bitter anti-American sentiment.Amanda Marcotte, Drones, Haiti, Baseball, and New Orleans
July 14, 2010What's up with all these arguments over feminism these days, anyway? The Daily Show and Gawker blog Jezebel have an argument over its representation of women; meanwhile, Sarah Palin is a feminist! Except when she's not! And the Atlantic has declared The End of Men. What's it all about?Nothing Resolved in Honduras
November 11, 2009The announcement that the ousted president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, would be returned to power in a power-sharing agreement seems to have come too soon. In this video from The Real News, we learn that the agreement seems to be doing more to legitimize the coup government than to get rid of it. Citizen activists' end goal is not only restoration of the democratically-elected president but also a constituent assembly to rewrite a constitution that largely favors those with wealth and power, and they are still fighting despite pressure from outside and restrictions from Micheletti's coup regime.Compromise on Women's Backs, Sarah and Emily Kunstler, and the Middle East
November 10, 2009The health care bill passing the house with a public option should've been cause for celebration, but the Stupak-Pitts amendment came as a shock to many prochoice activists and writers. It's not a secret that "pro-lifers" would like to roll back the right to abortion at any chance they get, but most of us didn't think that we'd see a move like this supported by 64 Democrats.Clock Ticking in Honduras
November 3, 2009Al Giordano of Narco News analyzes the options for the Honduran people months after the coup that toppled President Manuel Zelaya.The Social Media Revolution with Clay Shirky and Guantanamo at Home
November 2, 2009Clay Shirky, professor in New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program, is at the forefront of thought and discussion on the future of the Internet and communication technology. From the "Twitter revolution" in Iran and GitHub's collaborative coding process to the death of newspapers and the rise of the Pirate Party in Europe, Shirky has traced the way new and social media have changed the way the world works.The Blue Collar Vote, John Bowe on Modern Slavery, and Bush's Last Holdout
August 13, 2008This year the blue collar worker has achieved iconic status. The subtext is race and there is something about being white, working class, and male that means being quintessentially American. Perhaps it marks a subconscious return to the days when only white male property owners were allowed to vote. Oddly, we haven’t heard much about the black working class or the Hispanic working class.
