Navigatatiing Back to Segregation!
Editorial: The Resegregation of the United States The whole process of resgregation started with the system of urban development, after the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. This paved the way for the Civil Rights Movement to be co-opopted by the Democratic Party. (Read my essay The Rise and Fall of the Civil Rights Movement.) Having Black People Elected to Federal, State, and Local Officials Gave the False Illusion of Inclusion in White Society
Key Issue Not Mentioned in the Election by The Major Parties. and the Median Monopoly — Reagegation! From Sixty Years after Brown: Resegregation in America: Even under the more liberal Obama administration, the executive branch has not developed incentives for schools to integrate. [17] Like George W. Bush, his administrative policies on racial isolation in schools are eerily silent. Educational priorities have shifted in recent decades from the “equality and justice” rhetoric of the Civil Rights era toward “standards and accountability” rhetoric stemming from the Reagan period. Interest in school integration has fallen through the cracks. The focus is instead on charter schools, which have been shown to divert funds from traditional schools and increase segregation. [18] However, whether public school integration is the best way to addressing racial discrimination and social inequality in America remains an even deeper question: social programs and community-based programs could be more effective, some contend. Moreover, if America’s approach to racial issues, i.e. targeting many policies directly at racial and ethnic groups, is the most efficient way to direct public discourse remains a question, too, versus the “color-blind” French model. Though Brown’s legacy is seemingly failed, revitalizing – or reinventing – the legacy is an American dream to pursue.”

International dockers strike shows how to defeat imperialismOn 30 October, thousands of dockers from over 25 unions in 113 ports on six continents went on strike, in an inspiring and highly coordinated protest against militarisation, war, and attacks on dockworkers’ rights. In a world of capitalist decay, where workers and youth are confronted on a daily basis by all the horrors and brutalities of imperialism, this international dockworkers’ strike is a shining example to the whole labour movement. But we must not stop here.

Have you heard of the Triple Planetary Crisis? It’s the intersection of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss and pollution and waste—three urgent challenges impacting our planet.

Video: Western News Media Propagandists Describe US Bombing Iran As “Defensive” I never want to hear another American compare their media’s malpractice to North Korean propaganda ever again. Westerners are more aggressively propagandized than any other population on earth. The propagandists of the American press have been uncritically describing recent US airstrikes on Iran as “defensive” despite the US being the clear aggressor in this ongoing conflict, and despite the United States existing on the other side of the planet from Iran.
Voters In the US Deserve Today Off The United States is among the minority of countries that hold national general elections on a weekday without also making that day a holiday (Figure 1). Of the 106 democracies for which data is available, only 26 other countries besides the US do this, and only four other rich countries do (Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Norway). In 16 countries, election day is a holiday. Sixty-two countries — a large majority of those with data — schedule elections on the weekend. This includes most of the US’s peer countries. The US is also admittedly in the minority in allowing people to vote by mail, but despite Donald Trump’s assertions otherwise, it is hardly alone. Twelve countries allow postal voting for all voters, and 20 allow it for some voters.
Voting Can’t Un-Bake the CakeThere is much talk of U.S. midterm elections. Such a relentless white noise, so calculated that all other conversation, like stopping the slaughter of Palestinians, seems like an inconvenient distraction rather than the actual topic at hand. Little discussion, if any, focuses on how this electoral spectacle systematically shortens our attention spans and blunts our critical faculties to think past two-year cycles. The TikTok-brained, quick-cut ads, hollow slogan-peddling, and endless stream of news commentary rot our political imagination. The promises of campaign season evaporate as soon as oaths are sworn. What remains is an intense, manufactured urgency of the “now,” severing us from any deeper historical perspective or coherent vision for the future. Our world is filled with crises, from climate chaos to endless wars. And yet voting for this or that candidate seems like a deceptively easy way out of confronting these problems, especially since both parties bear responsibility for the current conflagration. The burden of changing this reality weighs heavily on this living generation, and even more so for those who come after, whose lives are being traded away for partisan theater and short-term profiteering.
It’s Time for a Corporate Power Reset In states across the country, pro-democracy groups are deeloping strategies to keep corporate money out of politics — Citizens United be damned. The 2026 midterm elections have been the most expensive in history, with more than $11 billion being spent on political ads. While Democratic candidates have outraised Republicans in individual donations by appealing directly to voters, Republicans have received the lion’s share of money from super PACs funded by a small number of the wealthiest elites in the United States. The single biggest election cycle donor is, unsurprisingly, the richest human on the planet. Elon Musk, the world’s first trillionaire, has poured more money into influencing the 2026 midterms than anyone has ever done in any election. His unprecedented contribution totals nearly half a billion dollars, all of it going toward electing Republicans. Musk is one of 50 donors whose combined political spending amounts to nearly $3 billion. Sixty percent of those donations are for electing Republicans.
