Half a century ago, a classic essay in The New Yorker titled “Our Invisible Poor” took on the then-prevalent myth that America was an affluent society with only a few “pockets of poverty.” For many, the facts about poverty came as a revelation, and Dwight Macdonald’s article arguably did more than any other piece of advocacy to prepare the ground for Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty.

Cowardly Vandals Target Homes Of Jewish Leaders Of Brooklyn Museum
The Daily Dot, Thursday - 06/13/2024 - 10:00 AM
Authorities are investigating after vandals targeted the homes of the Brooklyn Museum's Jewish director and some board members in a cowardly act, using red-smeared paint. This act of targeting Jewish people will not help the Palestinians. What a despicable thing to do, and I'm not sure how, in their minds, they felt this was productive.

Steve Bannon Begs Appeals Court To Save Him From Prison
The Daily Dot, Thursday - 06/13/2024 - 09:00 AM
Steve Bannon was ordered to report to prison on July 1st to begin a 4 month sentence for contempt of court after failing to comply with a lawful subpoena issued by the January 6th Committee. Immediately after being ordered to report to court, he was defiant, saying "Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, the entire Justice Department, they're not going to shut up Trump, they're not going to shut up Navarro, they're not going to shut up Bannon, and they're certainly not going to shut up MAGA." Well, just a week later, Bannon has changed his tune and is now begging the Appeals Court to intervene and pretty please keep him out of prison. Read the filing here. In the filing, he claims this is a "landmark case." It absolutely IS NOT.

Ted Lieu SHREDS “FELON” Trump & His “CRIMINAL" Gang
The Daily Dot, Thursday - 06/13/2024 - 08:00 AM
Two things died recently. First, Republican dignity when Ted Lieu was done listing all of Trump's associates who are convicted felons--criminals--just like he is. Lieu went on a rant that laid out perfectly why Trump is so unfit to clean floors much less be President. And the best part, Lieu made sure to remind Trump whose choices it was that got him where he is, and he didn't do it nicely Second, Lieu also pointed out how Democrats like Bob Menendez and Hunter Biden have been pursued, again showing what a joke Republican claims are of a "rigged" Department of Justice.
