Martin Luther King relied on Rustin’s advice and expertise, but that did not always insulate the committed activist (or his role in the movement) from the climate of the time. Adam Clayton Powell, the powerful African American congressman…

By Amanda Robb

…ick up things on her daughter’s off-to-college list, when a DJ on her easy-listening radio station cut it to say there had been a shooting at the high school.

Without Judgment Day or Karma How Does a Humanist Confront ‘Trump Funk’?

By Ivan Strenski

…nfold, my Trump Funk even deepens. Most readers needn’t be reminded of the list of depressing executive actions and policies feeding our collective depression. That’s not why I write now. I do so to try to understand why, after nearly 2 years, the Trump Funk seems a nearly bottomless pit of emotional darkness, worse even than what we’d have the right to expect in the wake of a mere election defeat? Why the oft heard, but inarticulate, lament of pu…

Scott promotes a long list of drastic changes to the fabric of US society: in line with the Right’s attack on public education, schools will be forced to teach American exceptionalism and the public education sector would be diminished, as would the federal Department of Education. Scott justifies the latter with the “states’ rights” rhetoric that the Right still uses to paint ov…

Op-Ed: Rev. Wright and the Church-State Divide

By Ira Chernus

…uestion of what Obama’s pastor did or did not say would be so far down the list of campaign issues that no one would ever notice it. Since unreason prevails, and boosts media ratings handsomely, the manufactured “controversy” over Rev. Wright eclipses war, economic collapse, climate chaos, and a long list of other genuinely urgent concerns. Beyond the general principle that people vote largely from the “reptilian brain” down, there is a more speci…

By Thomas Lecaque

…hbishop Carlo Maria Viganó, and others to rail against Pope Francis, “globalists” (i.e. “Jews”), and “the New World Order.” The original title for this year’s event, “The Crusade Has Been Called: The Kingship of Christ vs the New World Order,” has since been changed to “Traditionis Custodes & The Great Reset: Where do we go from here?” The new title—linking the ban on the traditional Latin mass to the “Great Reset” conspiracy theory—is accompanied…

Wallis Seeking Payback for Obama Defense?

By Kathryn Joyce

But, vote-drunk liberals should remember, that doesn’t mean they’re marching…
