Why, America? with Leeja Miller

You've Probably Never Read The Declaration of Independence

But that's okay because we're going to read it together. This document was revolutionary when it was written, and yet it purposely and willfully left out most of the population and declared "liberty" to be an "inalienable right" while the writers owned humans. That stain on our history has, so far, been impossible to completely remove.

Is The US a Christian Nation?

The Trump regime wants you to pray more, and they say it's because the US was founded on Christian values. It's a talking point that pops up over and over again. But is it true?

A Legal Analysis Of Trump's Antifa Prosecutions

Last week, 15 activists in Minnesota were indicted on federal charges, accused of being members of an "antifa" cell. This week, a group of activists in Texas got DECADES of prison time for their roles in an alleged "antifa" plot. Today I tried to get into the weeds here a bit so we can get our heads around what these recent lawsuits and sentencings mean for activists on the ground.

Corporations Have Always Had More Rights Than You | EXPLAINER

A judge in Delaware has upheld a law allowing corporations (and other "artificial persons") to vote in municipal elections. FIRST OF ALL: this is not a NEW law, it's been in the charter since 2008. I'm seeing a lot of headlines misconstruing that this judge made this new ruling and now all of the sudden corporations can vote. This has BEEN the law. And corporations have had more rights than you for literally hundreds of years. Strap in for the explainer on "corporate personhood" cuz it's a doozy.

They're Pepper Spraying Senators Now

Tensions outside the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in Newark, New Jersey boiled over this weekend, with Senator Andy Kim attempting to intervene and de-escalate and instead getting hit with pepper spray by DHS agents. The conditions inside Delaney Hall are so bad that 300 detainees are currently participating in a hunger strike. This is all part of the larger fascist plan to dehumanize immigrants so we all look the other way.

Is The US In Its French Revolution Era?

Economic unrest, social inequalities, a frivolous king. How closely is present-day US mirroring the French Revolution? Here’s a quick comparative primer, because somehow talking about guillotines is more appealing to me right now than talking about today’s headlines.

Billionaires Are Terrified. They Should Be.

On an earnings call last week Steve Roth, CEO of Vernado, likened the phrase "Tax the Rich" to a racial slur. That same week, protests of the Met Gala and the Manhattan Institute gala had protestors facing off with billionaires in black tie attire. They know we're angry, and they're terrified. Paying more in taxes is the least they could do.
