“Al Qaeda and ISIS are in Yemen, Syria, Somalia...”
What do these countries have in common? US policies helped collapse their states, creating the very power vacuums that AQ and ISIS thrive in
A lot of Very Serious Thinkers on the left still haven't figured out that corporate media should be treated as an enemy of the people, not as elysian fields of respectability and self-promotion.

As a little girl, I grew up reading books on other people’s staircases. I did homework on other people’s dinner tables.
