By Jacqui Lewis

…from the same evil corrupting our public life. And none of us will win the freedoms we deserve unless we do it together. Liberation is collective.

With Kurdish Genocide a Real Danger, How Ethical Was Mattis’ Resignation?

By Ivan Strenski

…institutions like the 1788 Constitution, the presidency, and the military code of honor. But at what costs do we maintain a revered institution like the military code of honor?

Well, for starters: every time a Republican voices white nationalist and other racist dog whistles, they need to be called out, not merely quoted—and they need to be called out on it every time. Every time a Republican who has voiced “Great Replacement” views in the past is interviewed, he or she needs to be explicitly asked about it—and if they don’t act…
