Two years af­ter the po­lice mur­der of George Floyd, racialised po­lice bru­tal­i­ty is still trag­i­cal­ly or­di­nary in Amer­i­ca.

If no ac­tion is tak­en, the up­com­ing midterms may mark the be­gin­ning of the end for mul­tira­cial democ­ra­cy in the US.

Re­pub­li­cans who failed to over­turn the elec­tion are now try­ing to pre­vent fu­ture de­feats through vot­er sup­pres­sion.

Why do se­cu­ri­ty forces treat Black Lives Mat­ter pro­test­ers and pro-Trump ri­ot­ers so dif­fer­ent­ly?

Pro­vid­ing mon­e­tary com­pen­sa­tion to the vic­tims of po­lice vi­o­lence is nec­es­sary, but it can­not fix Amer­i­can polic­ing.

The me­dia fo­cus on loot­ing was a con­ve­nient dis­trac­tion from the po­lice’s bru­tal ag­gres­sion against pro­test­ers.

The pan­dem­ic, and its in­creas­ing hu­man toll, have fi­nal­ly start­ed a con­ver­sa­tion in the US about mass im­pris­on­ment.

The Coro­n­avirus out­break could pave the way for a new and more just Amer­i­ca.

The cli­mate de­nial­ism of the rich and pow­er­ful is in­creas­ing the suf­fer­ing of the poor and mar­gin­alised com­mu­ni­ties.

The pow­er­ful so­cial me­dia plat­form is will­ing­ly en­abling hate groups, white na­tion­al­ists and far-right ex­trem­ists.
