By Shalom Goldman

…Maddow, who quipped: In terms of America not helping matters in the Middle East, what could be worse than Fox News exporting its end-of-the world conspiracy theorist who sees communists and George Soros as a Jewish puppet master in everything? What American export could be less helpful to the Middle East than that? In early June, Sen.

By Joanna Brooks

…people. Mormons also occupied the Rocky Mountain corridor that severed the east from west at the time when America was trying to establish a territorial coherence at any costs. The nation was carving out large pieces of western territory and calling them states; each of those states got representatives in the US Congress, so power was shifting west.

…ranian ally in the event of potential war, in exchange for a freer hand in Eastern Europe. The genocides in Eastern Europe, which overwhelmingly targeted Muslims and then Catholics, were only stopped by a combination of NATO intervention and the promise of European integration.

…alienable rights endowed by our creator” amongst haves and have nots. When East Asians started arriving in the United States, we were not sure if they were “white” or not. In 1922 the US Supreme Court ruled in Ozawa v.

South Asians belie…

…ire, which had reached three alarms by the time he arrived. A warehouse in East Oakland was burning. “The thing that hit me,” he said, “is that there’s a bunch of young people there.” As Landeza walked around the scene, he overheard more and more people saying the same thing: the people inside were there for “a concert, dancing, bands.” People were trying to reach friends and calls kept going to voicemail.
