https://youtu.be/HsXj83JNUb4 In May 1939, Treasury Secretary Henry J. Morgenthau Jr., one of Franklin Roosevelt's best friends, testified before the House Ways and Means Committee: "I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started… And an enormous debt to boot" (p. 2).

Cops Charged With Burglary, Murder After Breaking Into Man’s Home, Shooting Him 76 Times
The family of a 26-year-old Atlanta man who was killed after police shot him 76 times, thought for years that their only course of action was a civil rights lawsuit against the officers involved. However, this month, five years after Jamarion Robinson was gunned down in his own home, the officers who killed him are being held to account. Eric Heinze, an assistant chief inspector with the US Marshal’s Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, and Kristopher Hutchens, a Clayton County police officer working with the task force, have now been charged with felony murder. In addition to the two...
10/18/21 Scott Hechinger on the Murder Rate, Police Reform and Gun Control
Scott interviews attorney Scott Hechinger about a recent article he wrote for The Nation. They discuss the recent jump in the murder rate, its possible causes and the portrayal of the increase in the media. Hechinger explains that the universal nature of the increase hurts the argument that bail and police reform are causing crime surges. Scott and Hechinger also discuss racial disparities in the justice system. Both agree that the problem is in the over-policing of poor black communities rather than the lack of policing in affluent white neighborhoods. Lastly, they touch on the closing...
Cop Arrested After Beating, Leaving Boot Marks on Face of Teen Over a Speeding Ticket
Body camera footage released in April highlighted the gang mentality of many police officers as it showed them violently beating a 17-year-old boy over a traffic stop “like a pack of wolves.” It also illustrates how far cops will go to enforce a speeding violation. But this story does have a silver lining as the two cops responsible for the beating have been indicted. San Joaquin County district attorney Tori Verber Salazar announced that former Stockton Police Department officers Michael Stiles and Omar Villapudua were each indicted on felony counts of assault by a public officer and...
Cops Shoot Unarmed Man 122 Times Over Broken Tag Light
On the night he was killed, Lester Machado, 24, was targeted by police who falsely claimed he was driving with a broken license plate light. For some reason—which we will never know—Machado did not stop when police attempted to pull him over and police used this as a reason to chase him down and fire more than a 100 rounds into his car. Machado was unarmed and his car was disabled when six cops fired a stupefying 122 bullets into his car, executing him in firing squad fashion. Though Machado’s tragic death unfolded in 2017, attorneys for the family have discovered new evidence in the case...
Cop Walks Up, Sucker Punches Random Teen
On the day he was attacked by those he has been told are their for his protection, high school sophomore, Carlos Rodriguez had committed no crime, was not suspected of committing a crime, and was simply being a kid. However, his innocent, compliance with officer orders, and his young age were no defense against the brutal and despicable actions of Harris County sheriff’s deputy Bert Dillow. The incident originally took place on March 26 and despite video evidence capturing the unprovoked assault on a child, Dillow remained a deputy for over a month and was only just fired last week. He...

Patrick Warren Sr. was a loving father, husband, and pastor in his community whose life was taken from him on Sunday after his family called police for help.

The shooting was captured on the family’s Ring doorbell camera as well as cellphone footage and it is causing quite the uproar online. Lee Merritt, a national civil rights attorney who...
A Message to the LGBT Community
https://youtu.be/b-_XQSixEuA ... it is peculiar that while liberals are in favor of any sexual activity engaged in by two consenting adults, when these consenting adults engage in trade or exchange, the liberals step in to harass, cripple, restrict, or prohibit that trade. And yet both the consenting sexual activity and the trade are similar expressions of liberty in action. Murray N.

ATIXA: Willful Non-Compliance With Title IX?
Just because a law is passed does not mean it is enacted. Implementation requires a bureaucracy willing to carry out the law rather than obstruct it. A new Title IX regulation was published on May 6; this section of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 prohibits schools that receive federal financial assistance from discriminating against students on the basis of sex. The new regulation was meant to bring transparency to sexual misconduct hearings and due process to those who are accused of misconduct. To most people, these seem to be worthy goals. The new rules have been subjected to...
