Essay: Anatomy of the Deep State Rome lived upon its principal till ruin stared it in the face. Industry is the only true source of wealth, and there was no industry in Rome. By day the Ostia road was crowded with carts and muleteers, carrying to the great city the silks and spices of the East, the marble of Asia Minor, the timber of the Atlas, the grain of Africa and Egypt; and the carts brought out nothing but loads of dung. That was their return cargo. — The Martyrdom of Man by Winwood Reade (1871) There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol. During the last five years, the news media have been flooded with pundits decrying the broken politics of Washington. These are not isolated instances of a contradiction; they have been so pervasive that they tend to be disregarded as background noise. Photo: Dale Robbins
Preschool To Prison Pipeline: Three Year Old Suspended 5 Times In One Year April V. Taylor As more and more people become aware of the mass incarceration epidemic that has seen America’s prison population grow to be the largest in the world, many are realizing how the school to prison pipeline is a contributing component that activists and politicians have both attempted to address. However, those tackling the issue may not be realizing just how young the school to prison pipeline starts. The experiences of Tunnette Powell and her two preschool sons, JJ and Joah, illustrate how children, who were toddlers mere months beforehand, are subjected to practices that serve as the pivotal first step towards criminalization. Powell spoke with the Washington Post, revealing that her oldest son JJ was just four years old when he was suspended from preschool, and while Powell’s own negative experiences in school left her self-esteem shambles, she initially ignored her concerns. What was the one glaring difference between JJ and the other children?
siglo XVIII | Inglaterra Marco político de Inglaterra Siglo XVIII La posición que consolidó a Inglaterra como una potencia mundial desde lo militar, así como también desde lo económico, fue debido a la derrota del emperador francés Napoleón Bonaparte y a su vez en estos años se sembró todo lo que se dio en el siglo posterior con la Revolución Industrial.

What Anti-Trump Protesters Can Learn From the Suffragettes These 10 women had just been released from a 60-day sentence in a Washington workhouse following a picket at the White House, Washington DC. This demonstration was to demand that the remaining eight women in prison should be treated as political prisoners rather than criminals. Their leader, Alice Paul, had received a seven-month sentence in solitary confinement for disobeying prison rules.

Many Americans will be traveling to Washington, DC next week to protest against Donald Trump on his inauguration day. Today’s activists can learn valuable lessons from the first protest outside the White House that took place 100 years ago on Jan. 10, 1917. The NWP suffragists, who traveled to Washington from all over the country, called their protest “silent sentinels.” The NWP was persistent. The NWP was persistent. Alice Paul was the leader of the NWP and the silent sentinels.
Dissent is Patriotic – The Codex Yesterday was the Day of Remembrance, the 75th anniversary of the Japanese American internment during World War II. In remembrance, artists commemorated the experience, communities gathered in solidarity, and families shared their stories. Earlier on January 30, 2017, Google Doodle honored the 98th birthday of Fred Korematsu—a civil rights icon and face of the Korematsu v. United States (1944) Supreme Court case that questioned the constitutionality of the WWII Japanese American internment. In a time when all Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps, Korematsu defiantly refused the unjust treatment. During a time, now, when Muslims are targeted by the Trump administration and huge swaths of the American public feel unsafe and unrepresented, Google reminding millions of users of Korematsu’s legacy is no accident. In honor of the Day of Remembrance, it’s important to remember, to revisit the past, and to learn about it’s ripples into our world now. U.S. Korematsu v.
Home | Oposangleslaura - What?! Someone sharing all this for free? That can't be true... - Well it looks like it, though! - There must be a catch... - There's no catch whatsoever. - So why is she doing this? - Let me tell you a story... There was an anthropologist who had been studying the habits and culture of a remote African tribe. He had been working in the village for quite some time and the day before he was to return home, he put together a gift basket filled with delicious fruits from around the region and wrapped it in a ribbon. The man drew a line in the dirt, looked at the children, and said, “When I tell you to start, run to the tree and whoever gets there first will win the basket of the fruit.” When he told them to run, they all took each other’s hands and ran together to the tree. The anthropologist was shocked. This has been quite a tough process for me and I'm just doing what I wish someone else had done for me. Because, as the story says, how can I be happy if the others aren't?
