June 21, 2023 Carma Henry 0

The truth is, crime is out of control in this country, especially in too many of our cities. While many choose to turn a blind eye, it is people of color who are the majority of the victims: People of color account for 73 percent of rape victims; 72 percent of robbery victims; and 80 percent of felony assault victims; and 68.7 percent of the people in prison are Black and brown and 44% percent of the people killed by police in the United States are Black and brown.

     The risk of nuclear energy is an easy dividing line. To opponents, names like Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima are all the evidence we need that a catastrophic event is unavoidable and unacceptable. For supporters, those events are a sign that disasters are few. Both are right – they happen infrequently, and when they do occur, they are cataclysmic. […]

   Normally, autothysis is a process where an animal intentionally destroys itself. But given the current legislative actions undertaken by the Republican Party at both the national and local levels, it’s apparent that autothysis is a condition attributable to the Republican Party. It’s as though they’re willing to sacrifice their lives and families, if necessary, to destroy democracy. How can this be? […]
