Rise Like Lions after Slumber: John Pilger on Peace
The following is John Pilger’s acceptance speech for the Sydney Peace Prize. It comes to you courtesy of Zcom, where the verbose, informed radicals hang out. “Thank you all for coming tonight, and my thanks to the City of Sydney and especially to the Sydney Peace Foundation for awarding me the Peace Prize. It’s an [...]

Chilling with Human Rights Abusers? Bad move, McCain.
John Sidney McCain III. You’d think that this candidate, of all people, would not want to hang out with a dictator heading a notoriously murderous and oppressive regime. But no. The Huffington Post reports that McCain hung out with Augusto Pinochet, whose reign was marked by the assasination without trial of over 3,000 civilians and [...]

'It's Not Rape if She Blinks Twice for Yes' and Other Phallacies of Rape Culture
The New York Times recently reported that yet another rapist is being let off of the hook – as the majority are. Nearly 95% of men standing trial for rape in the United States and the United Kingdom are cleared of all charges, which is a shocking number considering the social, personal and political consequences [...]

Speaking Truth To Power: The Canary In the Coalmine (Literally)
Fight the Culture of Hate! Vincent Navarro, formerly Jesse Jackson’s senior health advisor in the ’84 and ’88 Primaries, tells it like it is over at Counterpunch: HillaryCare Failed. That’s right, folks, the experienced cynical candidate might not have an advantage over the young, hopeful candidate. The experienced candidate might have been involved in a [...]

Civil Rights, Lite! And Free Rice for Vocabulary!
Ok, so I know that this is discombobulated. I mostly just really like this cartoon. And there’s also this website where you can play a word game and send rice to starving people. It’s the perfect no-guilt procrastination device for those of us who are not on the Atkins diet. Speaking of which, Atkins is [...]

Gender Normativity, Post-Mrs.Doubtfire Doubts, & A Drive-By Fruiting
I went to a dinner party a while ago, and it was really nice. I was camoflaged in adult clothes, and standing around with adults, chatting, and this child ran through. The child hesitated on the edge of our circle of tall obstacles, and then darted into the middle and out the other side. The [...]

You Have the Right to Fewer Choices.
Right. So I said I’d take a break, and I haven’t slept in a while, but this bears repeating: They’re passing a TRAP law in Wisconsin (curtsy to Pandagon ). Basically, this means that women who are trying to get abortions and abortion providers will both need to jump through more hoops to “prevent women [...]
