Ken Cuccinelli says he believes even if George Floyd had been white his life would not have been spared
Cuccinelli is both a Republican and an Italian Catholic, neither of which are known for their love of black folks. But the real issue with this kind of stuff seems to be a matter of status. All other variables being equal, I’d say that it is still more […]
Protesters hope this is a moment of reckoning for American policing. Experts say not so fast.

Even if Trump wins reelection, the GOP is demographically and culturally doomed. Meanwhile, the state, capitalism, and totalitarian humanism […]
