REVISITING FREDERICK DOUGLASS

Written by IRENE MONROE Posted February 19, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Editorial, Op-Ed

If Spicer was telling the truth last year, and the Trump administration wants to highlight Douglass’s invaluable contribution to American history, they should start with his historic 1852 speech.

THE REAL RESISTANCE: FINDING THE HEROES IN THE GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST FASCISM

Written by BAYNARD WOODS Posted November 21, 2017 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Democracy in Crisis, NEWS+OPINIONS

Like American Nazis, the Golden Dawn fascists claim they are being prosecuted for their ideas—“free speech,” as Richard Spencer and his racist comrades have put it.

HERE’S THAT HISTORY LESSON JOHN KELLY NEEDS

Written by IRENE MONROE Posted November 9, 2017 Filed Under: NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

Kelly’s remark is also a false equivalence.  And in the most odious way, because it minimizes the moral turpitude of the Confederacy’s dogged and “by any means necessary” drive to make chattel slavery endure as a central pillar to their Southern way of life.

DEMOCRACY IN CRISIS: BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

Written by BAYNARD WOODS Posted October 16, 2017 Filed Under: COLUMNS, News, NEWS+OPINIONS

Now that we know that Yiannopoulos actually sent “his” Breitbart stories (which were actually often not written by him) to Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer, who works at the Daily Stormer, the bridge phenomenon comes off a bit differently.

DEMOCRACY IN CRISIS: THE CENTER CANNOT HOLD

Written by BAYNARD WOODS Posted August 28, 2017 Filed Under: COLUMNS, News, NEWS+OPINIONS

The line connecting Yeats to Didion to us: The center cannot hold. The election should have shown us that clearly. The majority lost and we elected an authoritarian entirely uninterested in compromise.

HOW THE MEDIA FOLLOWED TRUMP IN COVERING #FIGHTSUPREMACY

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted August 25, 2017 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Media Farm
