Our political reality is sad and outrageous and the source of its current corrupted state of affairs isn’t something we can offload onto others. I’m convinced that our current civil conflict falls in the lineage of spiritual battles that pits a fearful, shrinking heart against a courageous, expansive love.

Don't Be Fooled: Evidence Suggests Quotas Are a Fact of Life Within the NYPD

In what could fairly be described as the de Blasio administration's entry in the contest for the Sean Spicer medal for the the most blatant lie by a government spokesperson this month, here's a recent statement by J.

LIKE A ROCK: STANDING ROCK WINS.. FOR NOW.

The US Army Corps of Engineers announced Sunday that it has rejected the permits for DAPL to be built through land sacred to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. In reality, it took the largest gathering of Native American tribes in history, just to get the pipeline rerouted. Also, the activists are still staying. The fight’s not over just yet.
