Green Party presidential candidate appeared on Fox News, and the liberal policies she discussed nearly made their heads explode. We break down the exchange in this segment.
My primary vote went to Green Party Candidate Jill Stein. Rationalize as you may, but I sleep at night!
Presumptive Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says that she would stand aside to offer Bernie Sanders the Green Party nomination, but thinks he is unlikely to accept her offer. Stein’s statement comes after Sanders’ endorsement of his Democratic primary opponent, Hilary Clinton, which has Stein called the final nail in the coffin of his Democratic Party presidential campaign. To discuss if Bernie Sanders will see “the green light,” and the way the Democratic Party treated Sanders and his supporters during the campaign, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein talks to RT.
90% of Americans and 92% of gun owners want gun reform, but the NRA has found clever ways to block that in Washington.
Sarah Palin is on the warpath against Black Lives Matter. She’s sure they’re not peaceful, but rather violent thugs and rioters. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin once again took aim at Black Lives Matters protesters Sunday, calling them “thugs” and demanding the media “quit claiming that these rioters are people.”
In an interview on radio show “Breitbart News Sunday,” the former Alaska governor argued that the Black Lives Matter movement is in part responsible for the actions of a lone sniper (who was not affiliated with the peaceful movement) who fatally shot five police officers in Dallas last week.
“They’re not protesters,” she said. “These are thugs. They’re rioters. And yeah, I’m calling out the media, saying quit claiming that these rioters are people. They’re stomping on our flag, figuratively and literally, shouting death to cops, celebrating violence.”
Her use of “thug” isn’t without racial connotations. Many argue that it’s merely thesocially acceptable version of the N-word, and some members of the media have vowed not to use it.
In part two of a multi-video series examining the corporate influence of potential Vice Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton may choose, TYT Politics Intern Emma Vigeland (@EmmaVigeland) reported on New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.
Booker is a Democratic establishment darling who has charisma, but deep ties to Wall Street and a questionable history with bribery.
Police officers carry out random acts of legalized murder against poor people of color not because they are racist, although they may be, or even because they are rogue cops, but because impoverished urban communities have evolved into miniature police states.
Police can stop citizens at will, question and arrest them without probable cause, kick down doors in the middle of the night on the basis of warrants for nonviolent offenses, carry out wholesale surveillance, confiscate property and money and hold people—some of them innocent—in county jails for years before forcing them to accept plea agreements that send them to prison for decades. They can also, largely with impunity, murder them.
Those who live in these police states, or internal colonies, especially young men of color, endure constant fear and often terror. Michelle Alexander, author of “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” calls those trapped in these enclaves members of a criminal “caste system.” This caste system dominates the lives of not only the 2.3 million who are incarcerated in the United States but also the 4.8 million on probation or parole. Millions more are forced into “permanent second-class citizenship” by their criminal records, which make employment, higher education and public assistance, including housing, difficult and usually impossible to obtain. This is by design.
