[from Jason Mustian] In fairness, we’ve been building ‘ground zeros’ near Iraqi mosques since March 2003.

Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. This is a short anti-fascism film from 1947. How soon we forget the lessons we paid such a high price to learn. So, the next time some politician, pundit, media personality, or spokesperson for the rich or powerful tries to divide us […]
[reprinted from Deciminyan] Back in December, 2008, Massey Energy, which was responsible for the recent mine disaster in West Virginia, pleaded guilty to criminal charges in the deaths of two miners two years prior.
