Challenging to read but incredibly valuable in its articulation of the subversive and combative nature that has taken hold of America’s political climate

“All of us in the academy and in the culture as a whole are called to renew our minds if we are to transform educational institutions—and society—so that the way we live, teach, and work can reflect our joy in cultural diversity, our passion for justice, and our love of freedom.”

“To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students is essential if we are to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin.”

Teaching is a performative act and like any show it requires us to evaluate and assess our actions in accordance with what is most engaging to our audience. This evaluative process oftentimes demands the need to violate traditional boundaries and transgress against long held traditions in order to provide students with an experience that promotes freedom and growth.

Long has it been a historical goal of the Israeli state to restrict the movement of Palestinian people, partitioning and separating an already exploited and ravaged population.

Provides an astonishing account at Israel’s long track record of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and deliberate and purposeful actions of Palestinian persecution.

Regardless if it was intentionally planned or not, which it most definitely was, the establishment of the state of Israel necessitated the displacement of Arabs and the elimination of the Palestinian state. Whatever historical fiction has been concocted over the years, manufactured and spread by zionist leaders both here in the United States and in the Middle East to skip over this fact is gross.

No matter what political protest he is breaking up, skull he is kicking in, dog he is shooting, or door he is knocking down, a bad cop is a bad cop.

Armenian genocide in the early 1900’s carried out by the Ottomans. Holocaust carried out by the Nazi Regime throughout WWII. Even further back to the Trails of Tears and forced expulsion of Native Americans in the US. All of these tragedies have been identified and represented as instances of ethnic cleansing. 1948 & Nakba endured by Palestinians has and will continue to not be viewed the same. NO OBSCURITY!

Despite declining crime rates and even steeper drops in violent crime, our government, police unions, & the corporate media continue to push the notion that America is more violent & more deadly & more dangerous than ever before.

Dinner for the rich capitalist is a luxury afforded to him by the labor of the working man. Dinner for the laborer is only guaranteed through its place in the unforgiving and cruel production cycle which feeds the rich capitalist.

Who knew that Joe Biden was such a big fan of raves? For more information, search “Biden RAVE 2003”

SWAT teams have inflicted more terror upon the American people than Osama bin Laden ever could’ve hoped for.

No librarian employs a policy of assessing the reader’s merit to access material. No firefighter has stopped to ask about the homeowner’s previous work experience or credentials. As a society, we already trend towards communistic practices as mutual agreement and the common good prevail far more often than the supposed compelling power of the state.

Too many people believe that the police are a force for public good instead of realizing that they are an extremely well funded and deeply entrenched terrorist organization that does not give a fuck about the color of your skin or the “respect” you have for cops when they’re kicking down your door or shooting your dog.

The Industrial Revolution of the 18th Century proved that workmen were capable of producing goods and services to an extent which could have never been conceived by their forefathers. With that in mind, it comes as an even bigger shock that this increase, sometimes as much as ten fold of the previous century, is the result of work performed by the few and not the many. Power resides in the hands of the working class.
