Nuclear Warhead  --  Cartoon and Commentary by Rob Rogers

 

Whether you're talking about the East Wing, the rule of law, democracy or health care, Trump seems bent on destruction. Now he wants to resume nuclear testing. What could go wrong?

Don't I know it. I'm a nurse and I remember a 4 year contract a few years back where our "raises" were 1.5%, 1%, 0.5% and 0.5%. When compared to inflation, it was the same as taking a pay cut every single year.

Re: Socialism or Barbarism
 

Eric Ross's piece on American Left history leaves out a lot, naturally. But we can't understand that history without acknowledging the Communist Party. Every progressive movement drew some strength from it. Its real organizing power offered more than inspiration, from labor and the unemployed to civil rights to women's rights to the fight against fascism. Even the LGBTQ movement, which the CP did not anticipate and originally scorned, was birthed by party member Harry Hay. We shouldn't be afraid to face the party's historical failings, but neither should we 'dare not speak its name'.

Trump inserted himself into the NYC mayor's race with a last-ditch endorsement of Cuomo on Monday night. It must burn him that his birth city voted for a democratic socialist.

Join Sally Abed and Alon-Lee Green, leaders of Standing Together — the largest grassroots movement of Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel — in conversation with NYC Comptroller Brad Lander on Wednesday, November 12th at St. Ann’s in Brooklyn.
