Solidarity is necessary—a most integral but perhaps the rarest of qualities. “Social solidarity and justice go hand in hand—solidarity and a sense of justice united against social injustice.” What about Commitment? Stewart’s characterization of commitment is like a bold responsibility. Che’ had it. It is not some nebulous character trait but an actual physical act to write what is true or to take up arms against our oppressors, the opposite of indifference! There can be nothing more seminal than our determination with that physical and mental step. What can we do except resist.

The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
