The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

BREAKING: The Oklahoma Supreme Court just OVERTURNED Ryan Walters' Jesus-centric, conspiracy-heavy social studies standards.

(They put a temporarily block on them earlier. Now it's permanent.)

Thank goodness. Students deserve history, not propaganda.

Shameful. Unemployment is now the highest it’s been since 2021.

And Black women's unemployment is at 7.1% compared to 4.6% overall.

This is a five-alarm fire for Black women, Black families, & Black futures—& the broader economy.

The Federal Reserve must address this crisis NOW.
The unemployment rate for Black Americans rose to 8.3% in November, the highest level since 2021 and a 2.1 percentage point increase from the start of this year

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

A $1.5 million judgment can’t undo a lifetime of trauma.

But it affirms a survivor’s truth after the Jehovah's Witnesses dismissed and silenced her.

That still matters.

A proposed bill in Ohio claims schools can choose what "historical" documents to display.

But buried in the fine print is a mechanism that practically guarantees Ten Commandments posters in classrooms.

Here’s how it works.
