A journalistically responsible POLITICO California governor debate must include Green candidate Butch Ware

By Michael Feinstein, August 20, 2025 Dear Politico Greetings. I am a former Mayor and City Council member in Santa Monica, CA. I was also a Green candidate for California Secretary of State in 2018, focusing on a Democracy Bill of Rights for California — including fair debate access as a voters rights issue, so that big money by itself doesn’t determine which candidates and views voters are exposed to.

The Necessity of Birthright Citizenship for Black People

By Margaret Kimberley, July 2, 2025 Black citizenship was non-existent for the first 200 years that enslaved and free people were present in what became the United States. Even long-standing legal victories are tenuous, and now birthright citizenship is at risk. "I'm just saying if we had the legal right to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat. I don't know if we do or not, we're looking at that right now." - Donald Trump on sending U.S. citizens convicted of crimes out of the country. Continue reading

18 people threatened with "chemical agents" & "you may get hurt" by Portland police Demonstrating yet again that if you want corporate media to cover your direct actions there need to be arrests, 18 people sacrificed their freedom yesterday in Maine’s biggest city.

A Green’s reflection on the inspiring Seattle Organizing Conference

Fight the Rich and Their Two Parties, February 2025 By Steven Showen, Green Party of Florida A variety of organizations and speakers participated in the Worker's Strike Back conference, focusing on building an independent political movement that is pro-worker, pro-immigrant, anti-war, anti-genocide, pro-healthcare, and that responds to the climate emergency.

Both campaigns faced an onslaught of billionaire backed Democratic Party opposition. Continue reading

The Fall of Eric Adams

Eric Adams has a multitude of legal and political problems that have ended any political ambitions he may have had. Donald Trump may have kept him from going to jail, but in seeking a lifeline from a president hated by most New Yorkers, he has sealed his fate and will go down in history as the anti-Black, Black mayor.

Trump is Playing with Global Fire When it Comes to Palestine (and everywhere else)

By Seth Karer-Dale 10 months ago, as the Biden administration stumbled around, failing to critique or slow Israel's annihilation of Palestinians in response to the horrors of Oct. 7, I wrote that we should fear an attack on these shores. The world was angry at the excessiveness of the response and angry at the U.S. for funding and fueling Netanyahu's excesses. You can only mess with the world population so long before nations or networks come hunting the Oppressor. Continue reading

A Progressive-Leaning Public Elects a Far-Right President Why did American voters, who by substantial majorities favor progressive economic, social, and international policies, elect a plutocratic, racist, America First jingoist as President?

A Green Perspective: Lessons about democracy

Orange County State Senator James Skoufis recently ended his campaign for Democratic National Committee Chair. What can be learned from his effort?  In early January, Skoufis posted on X, exhibiting a self-delusion about Green voters common to many Democrats. Referring to the 2024 Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race in which the Republican won with 48.82%, followed by the Democrat (48.60%), Libertarian (1.29%), Green (0.95%) and Constitution Party candidate (0.34%), Skoufis wrote “The Green Party spoiled another major race for us just the latest on a very long list.” Continue reading
