MLK’s legacy also includes a forecast—prophecy?—of a contemporary crisis for which he is rarely given credit.

Few figures in U.S. history are as widely recognized as MLK. But while every American has heard his name, and most celebrate today’s holiday in his honor, few realize the profundity of his remarkable legacy.

Even his most ardent fans often water it down.

Biden claims that democracy is on the ballot this year.

But to imagine democracy in America requires blithely overlooking the record of Democrats including Biden, and his revealing refusal to debate or respect a primary election.

I can't believe I started this account to track how many days it would take Biden to cancel student debt, and now I have to document a literal genocide.

New reporting indicates that Biden gave Israel the keys to a US weapons stockpile packed with imprecise 'dumb' bombs.

Probably related: Nearly half of the 29,000 munitions Israel has dropped on Gaza were unguided 'dumb' bombs stephensemler.substack.com/p/aiding-and-a…

Thank you Briahna Joy Gray, Shahid Buttar (find me on Substack and BlueSky), and Kshama Sawant for your critical insights on the value of electoralism in the American context. Your work served as an inspiration for my own critique of our broken political system: youtube.com/watch?v=n5KxeT…

Attacks on journalists reveal the genocidal nature of the Israeli project. Regimes that respect human rights do not fear transparency. shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/the-first-ca…

The first global agreement explicitly addressing fossil fuels indicates theoretical progress, but ignored massive blind spots to which MLK drew attention before his assassination 60 years ago. shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/what-does-th…

Today, the The New York Times ran a feature about what they called “a disappointing policing change,” about the expansion of police body cameras as a failed police accountability tool.

I published on Truthout in 2015 why “police body cameras are no solution.”

Medical debt is a shameful reflection of a system that cares nothing for basic human rights, neither in Gaza, nor anywhere across the US. theguardian.com/money/2023/dec…

Again…just for the record here…AIPAC is represented by the Dem PR firm SKDK. The same firm that represents Joe Biden and all the Dem opponents who were smeared especially Nina Turner and Shahid Buttar. And I saw some strange links, I will just say. It is not right wing.

The vestiges of democracy in America are falling on the shoals of a new McCarthyism that has already diminished congressional independence and institutional capacity. The implications should disturb every American, regardless of their political persuasion. shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/washingtons-…
