The gang wanted to hear the rebuttal to the "leftist" defense of Trump's unconstitutional military action in Venezuela and Jason is ridiculous--don't let him infect your algorithm! (lol)

Read Ralph's review here: https://thelastdvd.com/land-of-wolves/   It’s become a joke, a rather well-worn one by now, to say that Donald Trump has been getting ideas about fighting the war on drugs from Denis Villeneuve’s film Sicario. That film, and its vastly inferior sequel, depicted clandestine paramilitary operations that go beyond usual police measures used by the US government agencies against the Mexican drug cartels in the border region. In the real world, the American state has accelerated the para-militarisation of the war against the drug cartels.   Earlier this year, Trump ordered the State Department to declare the La...

To discuss how American organizers might more effectively fight to support Palestinians’ rights to freedom and self-determination, I spoke with Bashir Abu-Manneh, who is writing a book provisionally entitled Disposable Palestinians, and Hod...

LISTEN TO SWING KIDS HERE: https://swingkids.bandcamp.com/  

San Diego, like its northern cousin Seattle, has always existed on the periphery of mainstream cultural circuits—too geographically isolated for major label attention, yet fertile ground for subcultural innovation. Its position at the edge of the U.S.–Mexico border makes it a fascinating site for hybrid forms, a crossroads of tension, migration, and creativity.

In the early 1990s, out of that liminal zone, emerged Swing Kids—a band that fused the rhythmic sensibility of swing jazz with the sonic dissonance of hardcore punk. Their 1994 self-titled EP was...

Through a series of in-depth interviews with prisoners at Bullock Correctional Facility, journalist and writer Matthew Vernon Whalan brings forward the voices of people most often silenced: those who have lived, suffered, and endured inside the largest prison system in the w...

Just as humans have caused climate change, we hold the power to avert a climate apocalypse, but that will only happen through collective political action. Harris outlines the three strategies--progressive, socialist, and revolutionary--that have any chance of succeeding, while also revealing that none of them can succeed on their...

Stefan discusses whether there is any way to justify our normal moral ideas about killing animals, were pets have great moral standing, and prey animals can be raised and slaughtered in their billions. And if the answer is no, what is the correct response to this?

Read the article here: https://nonsite.org/missing-new-orleans-twenty-years.../   Much has been written about New Orleans in the last twenty years, but not all of this writing has been especially helpful or illuminating. Many early interpretations of the Katrina disaster quickly cohered around a racial justice perspective, which rehearsed familiar narratives of the color line as the central axis of conflict in American life. The truth of such narratives seemed undeniable in the face of the news footage, testimonies, and imagery of mostly black New Orleanians stranded in the flooded city and struggling to survive amid chaos and little government rescue a...
