If Les Wexner claims he doesn’t remember, then he needs to turn over his financial records and let the money tell the story.
Survivors deserve justice. It’s time for the cover-up to end.

A year ago, I stood before you and asked a provocative question:
After we have discriminated against, disparaged, and deported all our immigrant neighbors — and the problems we started with remained.
What comes next?

The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.

This is a censorship state.
Is censorship a conservative value? Is that why Republicans are silent about this?
No, of course not. They are just happy to let Trump try to rig our politics because they benefit.

The essence of the Big Lie
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Glad to see union leaders talking about a general strike. Mass strikes require planning, strike funds and mutual aid. (They will not happen through posting and spontaneous action.)
I spoke with SEIU’s David Huerta, who was arrested in an ICE raid last year and awaits trial.
He says it’s time to go “on offense.”
“Should we use a general strike as a tool? Absolutely. We should be prepared to use that tool because our democracy is worth it.”
