Stephen Miller is Trump’s White Supremacist Policy Adviser

By David A. Love, JD Executive Editor

Not be questioned? Who does Stephen Miller think he is, and more importantly, who does Donald Trump think he is to tell the American people to bow down to his power like a king? And even more importantly, what qualifies Miller to be a top adviser to President Agent Orange?

If there was any question as to whether Donald Trump is running a white supremacist, authoritarian White House, Stephen Miller should erase all doubt. Yes, Trump…

Pathfinders for Black History Month

By Dr. Julianne Malveaux, PhD Editorial Board

The Journeys of 16 Extraordinary Black Souls is an extraordinary book not only because it features the biographies of relatively unknown and amazing African Americans, but also because the author she puts their lives in context. Thus, each biography talks about what was happening historically during the subject's lives.

I love Black History, and so revel in Black History Month. Not tht Black History should be constrained to a month. Indeed, when I wrote my…

Clarence Thomas and Betsy DeVos: Lessons in Retribution

By Dr. Walter C. Farrell, Jr., PhD, M.S.P.H. Columnist

Secretary DeVos is cut from the same personality cloth as Justice Thomas and President Trump, never ignoring a slight without a response. She was angered by having her reputation dragged through the mud and having her basic intellectual competence examined during her nomination process.

Betsy DeVos vanquished the Democratic and Republican infidels who opposed her confirmation for U.S. Secretary of Education as did Clarence Thomas in 1991 when he was…

Trump’s Invisible Man

Donald Trump has been president now for about a month. In that short time, he has effectively wrecked the perception of the office of the presidency…

Trump’s “WAR on Regulation” is a War on the Nation and Its People

By John Funiciello Columnist

For generations, polluting industries have been placed in the poorest parts of cities, villages, and towns, and that’s where the poorest people live and, in many places, that’s where the black and brown neighborhoods are.

Yesterday Trump’s Stormtroopers Came for the Muslims, and we “Enlightened” Americans said “Not Today Mr F*s”

By Desi Cortez Columnist

They'll be comin' for everybody who isn't a Confederate-minded follower of Trump. And don't miss this; The 'Left' owns the street, while the 'Right' owns the police, Army and all the tanks, choppers, dogs and internment camps.

Not today!” No!, Not without a fight will we go quietly into-the-night. And now today they come for the Latinos. Tomorrow it will be Asians, and…

Divided We Fall Every Time

By Jamala Rogers Editorial Board

In building our own united front against Trump, we don’t need to repeat the ugly, racist mistakes of the past. We need a re-alignment of social forces who are uncompromising on principles - like the Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party.

I recently had the opportunity to view the documentary, Divided We Fall while in Madison, Wisconsin. The insightful documentary is the maiden project of Katherine Acosta…
