After all of the irresponsibility of Chris Cuomo and CNN’s support of his career, it is time for responsibility
Chris Cuomo is in trouble once again, this time as the perpetrator of a confirmed incident of sexual harassment. In a guest piece to The New York Times, Cuomo’s former boss at ABC, Shelley Ross, revealed that the CNN host grabbed her rear without her consent, saying, “I can do…
Lost Cause mythology remains strong, but it needs to be stomped out like the propaganda it is.
The debate over Confederate statutes was once again ignited last Monday after Charlottesville’s city council decided to remove two statues dedicated to Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The decision was partially motivated by the violent arrival of white supremacists at the infamous ‘Unite the Right” rally of 2017, which…
The 1619 Project, while flawed, is critical to understanding the role of race in American history.
History is a finicky thing. Research methods are constantly evolving, and ways of studying that were once considered golden today are revealed to be flawed tomorrow.

The New York Hedge Fund owned by Randall Smith has obliterated an already struggling industry
Democracy is not self-maintaining, and freedom isn’t free. For years, Americans have been bombarded with these phrases, but very few fully comprehend the value of those words or the more subtle meanings behind them. Local news is on the decline within this day and age, and with it, an informed…
Speaker Pelosi’s decision to veto Republican choices to the committee on January 6th is a rare sign of backbone. Let’s hope it continues.
