Neoliberalism and Sex Slavery
It keeps on getting worse. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who as a US attorney signed off on the infamous secret sweetheart deal that protected convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein as well as his entire network of plutocratic predators and enablers, continues to double down on his contempt for non-wealthy women and children. As *The Guardian* reports, Acosta wants to destroy one of the few remaining agencies tasked with protecting the victims of global sex trafficking. He has recommended cutting funding for the International Labor Affairs Bureau by a whopping 80 percent, or f... more »

Whom Do We Trust
One of the unending underlying challenges in education is that parents and taxpayers have to trust somebody. Back In The Day, the default was to trust teachers and administrators. That would be back when the default was to trust authority figures as a whole-- but that pendulum has swung far in the other direction (on behalf of all the Boomers, let me just say, "You're welcome"). Heck, even within the more recent past of my own career, a shift has been visible. In my first job (1979-1980) parent-teacher-student conferences often involved a parent absolutely taking my side, even thoug... more »
Gerrymandering and the State Courts
Philip Bobbitt Without getting into the merits of the North Carolina gerrymandering case, or the arguments presented in the opinion of Chief Justice Roberts for the majority, the way forward to curb this insidious practice seems clear. In some states, of course, the electoral process itself will correct matters because the population is disgusted by attempts to rob it of its birthright as citizens and voters in a democracy. But in some states the very success of partisan gerrymandering will make remedies by the state legislatures difficult to achieve. What every commentator I hav... more »

Ontario's Short Honeymoon With Populism
Populism -- at least right wing populism -- is on the rise around the world. For awhile, it even rose in Ontario. Martin Regg Cohn writes: Lest we forget, Torontonians led the way by ushering in Rob Ford as mayor nine years ago. We were among the first to embrace the impulse — until we had second thoughts. City council soon sidelined him, and big brother Doug was trounced in the next mayoral election. But having purged themselves of populism, voters returned to it in the 2018 provincial campaign. What’s most striking about the restoration of Ford Nation in this province is that i... more »
Iran, Washington and the Emperor's New Clothes
The June 20th shooting down of an American drone by Iran is a story that keeps on giving. According to the White House, on June 20, 2019, Iran shot down a U.S. drone that was in international airspace, a "fact" that is strongly disputed by Iran. According to President Trump, the United States was prepared for a retaliatory strike on June 21, 2019 that he personally called off 19 minutes before the attack was to be launched because he was concerned about the potential deaths of 150 Iranians. Apparently, there is more to the story as you will see in this posting. Here is an artic... more »

Port in Gaza Strip (Source: Wikimedia/Mahmoud Navash) Escalations in the armed conflict between Israel, Hamas and other armed groups in the Gaza Strip tend to follow a familiar pattern.
