An independent platform for the people.
Canadian franchise Freshslice Pizza is doing what so many food chains refuse to do: stand up against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and demand that the Canadian government end its support for Saudi Arabia, in the face of the war crimes being committed in Yemen. Right now, the conditions in Yemen have overtaken those in Syria […]
Driving into Salt Lake City is a lot like driving into Las Vegas. Yes, I realize these two cities stand in many ways as the polar opposites of each other; vice and sterility, the depths and the elevation. But driving into Vegas, or into Utah via Idaho and eastern Oregon, as I did, you must […]
The stereotype of a college professor is typically that of a bookish person, spectacles sliding down the bridge of their nose as they look down from a quiet ivory tower onto the chaos below. In reality, some academics actually find themselves in the fray, leading important research or even important rallies for social change. The […]
Canada is officially legalizing marijuana nationwide. Cue confetti. To be fair, Canada only has ten provinces; recreational pot use is already legal in nine US states … so they aren’t that far ahead. Still, federal legalization is a pretty big deal. It is almost enough to make you wonder when Trump will want to start […]
I was pretty excited when I was offered an opportunity to preview the new Lee Camp stand-up comedy special, Super Patriotic Very Uncle Sam Comedy Special Not Allowed On American Television for ProgressiveArmy and MediaRevolt. I’m a big fan. Besides the close friends that I have made there, shaking Mr. Camp’s hand and thanking him for […]
I am out visiting the pacific northwest. Yes, it has rained every day I’ve been here, and yes, the air kind of smells like coffee and weed. But aside from that, I’ve noticed another curious phenomenon; that is, it appears every third or fourth vehicle out here is a camper van with stickers all over […]

The new eviction date for Units 1–6 is now Saturday, October 20, 2018. The property management company expects residents […]
The Romani (Roma) people, colloquially known as Gypsies, are the quintessential example of a nomadic ethnic group that has settled in a multitude of locations, yet maintain a relatively cohesive collective identity. Romani culture can provide a window into the importance, hardships, and rewards of embracing and contributing to a collective humanity, while preserving and […]
99 weeks in and we stand on the precipice of a century mark we might not have thought we’d ever see. I’m speaking, of course, of both the Trump era and the ongoing debauchery of This Week in the Narrative. 99 weeks in and we stand like Jay-Z, with 99 problems. I won’t fill in the […]
A few years ago, I visited the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, Texas – a more-serious stop on a “Keep Austin Weird” tour. As I was walking through the exhibits, a man whom I took to be employee came up and started talking to me, just mundane kind of stuff – are you […]
