Supporters of AMLO Declare, "No al Pinche Fraude"
On August 19th, 20th and 21st, I walked around various sections of the planton set up throughout Mexico City.

Critics and Emotional Armor As An Artist
Wanna be a political artist, woman writer, or solo performer? Then you’d better start growing some emotional armor right now. I had grown certain calluses to public opinion and heckling as a solo woman act doing feminist comedy for decades, but my last 3 years as a political writer lunged knives in places no one attacked when I was a comedian. I have learned 4 things were the collective wisdom that served as my life preserver, letting me end up still alive and kickin’, after going down a Niag...

German Parliament members demand Mumia's immediate release
"Mumia has been on death row for 25 years now. The political motivation behind his verdict is obvious. As an activist against the ubiquitous racism of US society, he was sentenced in a trial that failed to meet basic legal standards.

The American army did not bring peace to Iraq. The Israeli army will not bring peace to Lebanon. The American army will not establish a democracy in Iraq, the Israeli army will not bring democracy in Lebanon. The American policies h...
