Story
Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision.

Story
David Stockman, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Great Deformation, dissects Trump’s economic policies and exposes him as the failed businessman that he is—not a conservative and definitely not a Republican. The border wall, the tariff war with China, and Trump’s disastrous response to COVID-19 were all remarkably misguided failures of policy that hurt American prosperity. Even his claims of job creation fell flat too—Trump’s tenure was the only presidential term in which private payrolls in the US economy actually shrank—well, at least since Herbert Hoover!

A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues.

Como será o futuro pós coronavírus? Em seu novo audiolivro, Noam Chomsky alerta sobre as grandes ameaças à sobrevivência do planeta. Reconhecido como um dos principais intelectuais contemporâneos, defensor ferrenho da democracia e crítico da política externa dos Estados Unidos e do poder global das grandes corporações, Chomsky mostra-se preocupado com o futuro e explica detalhadamente o porquê. Segundo ele, os estados nacionais não têm mais a capacidade para controlar o futuro e preservar o planeta. Só movimentos populares vão conseguir acordos mundiais em defesa do clima e da paz.
