Week in Review: A Democratic Convention That Inspired (and Infuriated)
We cannot to afford to fail.
Our Summer Campaign is falling short. The only way Common Dreams' people-powered media model can survive is with the support of readers like you. Will you donate $27 to keep nonprofit journalism alive?
"We are not going back to when Donald Trump tried to cut Social Security and Medicare," said Vice President Kamala Harris. "We are not going to let him eliminate the Department of Education that funds our public schools."
One critic said the agreement "was hammered out behind closed doors between media giants and tech platforms," and "fails to meet the needs of California's journalists and communities."
"If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election," the UAW said, "the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian American speaker to be heard from the DNC stage tonight."
Gabriel Zucman, a leading authority on tax evasion by the rich, welcomed news that Kamala Harris' presidential campaign is embracing proposals to tax the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.
As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover the issues the corporate media never will.
Your contribution supports this bold media model—free, independent, and dedicated to reporting the facts every day. Stand with us in the fight for economic equality, social justice, human rights, and a more sustainable future.
While crucial terrain upon which we must maneuver strategically, true systemic change will not come through electoral politics alone, particularly within a party fundamentally wedded to capitalist interests.
The level of power and influence the world's richest man has amassed is a danger to all citizens, whether they like Musk or not. It is also, without a shadow of a doubt, a threat to democracy.
A speech that denied the suffering of Palestinians was a journey into an alternative universe of political guile from a president who just six days earlier had approved sending $20 billion worth of more weapons to Israel.
The journalist and TV show host, who died Sunday at the age of 88, made his mark on our society. He fought for the underdog. He did it with style and grace and a wonderful sense of humor. He changed my life and the lives of so many others.
