The Invisible 99%: Sunday Morning Talk Shows Ignore Occupy Wall Street PoliticsUSA October 2, 2011 By Jason Easley The five Sunday morning talk shows on CBS, Fox, CNN, NBC, and ABC devoted zero segments with zero guests to Occupy Wall Street today. To the media inside the Beltway, the 99% do not exist. A day after over 700 protesters were arrested during a march over the Brooklyn Bridge, the five

US-Pakistan relations: The shadows of hate
As the rains waned and the sodden ground re-emerged from under the waters, the rising din of war drums echoed throughout the country. Admiral Mike Mullen, America’s top military official, hurled towards Pakistan a tremendous accusation. In a statement issued towards the end of last month, the now-retired Admiral Mullen accused the Pakistani intelligence agencies of supporting the Haqqani network a

Profiling: Security and trust, suspicion and scapegoating
Ever since 9/11, the American Muslim community has been placed under a tremendous amount of scrutiny. Even now, more than ten years after those terrible events, the cloud of suspicion has not lifted over the community. According to a months-long investigation, the Associated Press has published an article claiming that the New York Police Department, with apparent help from the CIA, has engaged in

Response to recession: Less mosques, more charity
It was announced recently that 40,000 Bank of America employees are being laid off. My heart feels broken over the news. It seems like every time there is a chance that we as a country can pull together and work through this, something else knocks us back down a couple of notches. The economic news is compounded by the fact that before these layoffs, 15 percent of our country was already in povert

Social change in Saudi: Using the media to amplify women’s voices
Social media was abuzz with excitement at Saudi King Abdullah’s recent decision to appoint women to the Shura (consultative) Council and to allow them to vote and run in the 2015 municipal elections. The right to vote and hold public office has been at the top of Saudi women’s demands for the past decade and has been widely discussed in social and traditional media. If you enter the world of socia

Perceptions of Muslims: What’s pork got to do with it?
In 2004, I was working in Washington, D.C. with the largest Muslim civil rights organization in America when I received a telephone call from a distressed American Muslim woman.

German Pirates on 8%
Following their recent victory in Berlin, the German Pirate Party are now polling nationwide at 8%. This is important, as it’s over the 5% hurdle imposed by the German electoral system: so if people continue to support the Pirates at this level, they will definitely get elected to the Bundestag and European Parliament. The next Bundestag election is due in 2013, and if the Pirates do well then, it

On Being An Actual Nigger Woman
2 I can remember the very first time someone called me a nigger. I was 12 years old and in the 8th grade. I was walking from the gifted program at Kenwood high school in Chicago back to Kozminski, my grammar school. I wasn’t alone, there were 5 of us that walked that way every day. Two boys and three girls. All kind of nerdy, but with delusions of coolness ahead in high school. And every day these

He’s a great kid, who loves life, video games, his family, drawing &

What's most striking about this is not that the U.S. Government has seized and exercised exactly the power the Fifth Amendment was designed to bar ("No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law"), and did so in a way that almost certainly violates core First Amendment protections (questions that will now never be decided in a court of law).
