It Takes a Village to Make a Hate Crime
Saturday morning, a gunman killed 11 Jewish people who were worshiping at the Tree of Life Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The gunman stated his reasons on social media before his attack: “his people” were “being slaughtered” because a Jewish organization was “bringing in hostile invaders,” a reference to their support for refugees. This is reported to be the worst attack targeting Jews in United States history.
There’s No Political Machine That Can’t Be Beat
When they started their race for the Pennsylvania State House, everyone told Summer Lee, Sara Innamorato and Liz Fiedler they could never win. It was a longshot, people said. They faced enormous odds, and would face enormous money and opposition. But these three powerful women took those odds, and bet against them. Why?
We Must Stop the Assembly Line of Conservative Judges
“Reining in the activist judges is an enormous job, but the American people are up to the task,” says Carrie Serevino, the former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who now heads the Judicial Crisis Network (JCN). The JCN is a right-wing lobby that demonstrably creates judicial crises by spending millions to support arch-conservative nominees to the bench, and undermines more moderate candidates.
Jefferson Educational Society Names New President
The Jefferson Educational Society has named its next president. Announced at a media conference on Thursday June 22 at 10:30 am, Ferki Ferati, current Executive Director and Vice President of the organization was appointed the next President of the Jefferson Educational Society. Ferati graduated from Mercyhurst University, went on to get his masters from Gannon University in Public Administration, and his doctoral studies from the University of Pittsburgh.
Paramore // After Laughter
At first glance (especially to the uninitiated), the sonic shift of Paramore’s new album, After Laughter, could be traced back to the success of ‘80s-gravedigging pop bands like The 1975 or even Tegan and Sara. But those who are weary of the band’s pop-punk roots would do themselves a disservice by dismissing the new direction as manufactured before giving it a proper listen, because that’s all it takes to realize After Laughter is as genuine a record as Paramore have ever created.
Enough Words - Erie Reader
When my oldest son was born, the miracle Of life became apparent for me before I even saw him. The nurse, the doctor, my wife, and I all instructing, encouraging, shouting – and then, suddenly: a new voice in the room. A new voice in the world. Dash’s first cries made my knees buckle and my head swim. Three years later, my knees would give way to again hear that voice, or his brother’s, put two words together.
Open Letter From Pittsburgh to the President on Paris Climate Pullout
Mr. President, when you took our country out of the global agreement to stop climate change, you said you “represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.” As a proud native of western Pennsylvania, I strongly disagree. You do not represent Pittsburgh. Our people overwhelmingly rejected you at the ballot box, and we have seen your brand of charlatanism before.
Erie Faces Erie: November 23, 2016
“The important message is to not be afraid to take the leap. We just did it, both feet.” Ed Bernik: Why would somebody want to start a clothing line in Erie? RJ Messenger: When we started, it was a fun hobby to keep us busy on the side. We both worked full-time jobs, just got married, bought a house – and it was one of those things: What do we do now to occupy our free time? So when we started the clothing line it wasn’t to be our own bosses or become entrepreneurs.
Common // Black America Again
Though the title of Common’s 11th studio album may make some feel uneasy, Black America Again addresses many social issues that tie into one overall message: freedom. With production tailored to the Chicago native, Common protests oppression while tapping into the beauty of self. Kicking off this album with “Joy and Peace,” the emcee briefly educates us on how true bliss derives from a supreme being beyond us.
Why We Needed a Vigil for Democracy
The headlines: “Racist graffiti greets Trump win across USA,” “Trump Supporter Reportedly Punches Woman,” “KKK Plans March to Celebrate Trump.” And on social media: “My students are being harassed,” “I had a woman yell at me because of my hijab,” “I’m scared to go outside, you guys.” This is Donald Trump’s America. And it’s why I organized a Vigil for Democracy on Sunday, Nov.
