  • MLK Would Have Called Debt Ceiling Deal “Demonic”

    Making war invisible goes hand in hand with making gigantic military budgets uncontroversial — and disconnecting the profligate spending for the Pentagon from the depletion of resources for the common good.

Today’s decision rejects this established…
