Staff | democracynow.org | 2019-06-28

Honduras at Ten Years After the Coup: a Critical Assessment
James Phillips | counterpunch.org | 2019-06-28
As the tenth anniversary arrives, many Hondurans see the coup of 2009 as a major turning point that began a downward spiral in the country's troubled history. In recent weeks huge popular protests have once again filled the streets and plazas of most of the country's major cities and have appeared also in rural areas, leading up to what are expected to be even larger protests around the June 28 anniversary. The immediate cause of the latest protests was the government's passage of a set of laws that for many Hondurans signaled the privatization of the public health and education sectors and the layoff of thousand…

Jonathan Kozol: Joe Biden Didn't Just Praise Segregationists. He Also Spent Years Fighting Busing
Staff | democracynow.org | 2019-06-25
Former Vice President Joe Biden made headlines last week when he fondly reminisced about his "civil" relationship in the 1970s and 1980s with segregationist senators James Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmadge of Georgia. While Biden's recent comments made the news, far less attention has been paid to the former vice president's actual record. In the 1970s, then-Senator Biden was a fierce critic of Delaware's attempts to bus students in an effort to integrate its schools. We speak with National Book Award-winning author Jonathan Kozol about Biden's track record.
