Mom's Last Message For You In 1988, Mom was a delegate to the Democratic Party Convention in Atlanta. But the maids and janitors at the Atlanta Marriott were on strike. My mother donned her red-white-and-blue outfit, added a mop and bucket -- dressed union pickets with the same outfits -- and challenged the Democrats not to cross the picket line. It put her and her mop on the cover of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Gladys Palast 1921 -- 2018 On Friday at 11am, Mom will be memorialized at Miramar Military Cemetery. My father, who gave away his combat medals to protest the War in Vietnam, will have his ashes interred beside her; each will receive a full military color guard. Mom taught us how to make noise, make trouble and make a difference -- in our little tract home in San Fernando Valley, filled with extraordinary idealism, humor, confidence, caring and love.

Cambridge Analytica Ain't Nuthin: Look out for i360 and DataTrust The GOP has been using computer power to erase the voting rights of Black and Hispanic voters for years -- by "caging," "Crosscheck," citizenship challenges based on last name (Garcia? Not American!!), the list goes on -- a far more effective use of cyberpower than manipulating your behavior through Facebook ads.

Florida = Honduras: Inequality kills. A crucial factor about the Florida killer: his family had to move out of the school district because they couldn't afford the rent. Resentment yields anger. Not every poor kid becomes a killer -- think Bill Clinton -- but there will be one. Inequality kills.

The "Steele Dossier" on... Me: Why the Nunes Memo should scare you Despite Nunes' assertions, nothing in his memo -- none of this FBI misconduct, however unacceptable -- undermines Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Trump and gang. Still, I cannot applaud billionaires bending our elections, manipulating -- wittingly or unwittingly -- the FBI.

How JFK Saved MLK's Life And So Won The Presidency It was a Republican, Martin Luther King Sr., who made John Kennedy president of the United States -- for JFK's saving Daddy King's son, Martin Jr., from lynching. Those mighty Kings and Kennedys are gone. Today, we honor a man whose courage must now be ours; and then we can make American truly great again.

Trump Is Not Ending Kobach's Racist Voter Purge Scheme, He's Putting It On Steroids By Moving It To Homeland Security Don't be fooled by news of Trump's Executive Order dissolving the so-called Commission on Election Integrity. Trump is not ending the Kris Kobach scheme to attack, he's moving it into Homeland Security as per Kobach's original plan.

Gov. McAuliffe, End New Jim Crow Voter Suppression Tactic Imagine if Gov. McAuliffe put an end to Virginia's strange and inexplicable participation in a GOP voter suppression trick that reeks of Jim Crow. Since 2013, this stealth voter purge program has cost tens of thousands of Virginians of color their right to vote. It's called Interstate Crosscheck. The Crosscheck hit list is racially biased in the extreme. The lists are little more than compilations of common names.

Legal victory stops steal in 'Bama! But... There's one certain way to stop these vote-suppression games. One candidate, named Barack Obama, told our team: You can't steal all the votes all the time. Turn out so massively, they just can't steal it. We will see if enough Alabama citizens will cross that bridge tomorrow to overcome the trickery and flim-flam that Alabama calls an election.

Poor People's Non-Profit Bank Sues Trump Over Illegal Seizure Of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Willie Sutton robbed banks -- Trump is worse -- he's letting the banks rob their customers. The CFPB is trying to corral the pay-day check cashing predators. Trump wants to continue the shake-down and give the jackals a tax break. By suing Trump, New York's Lower East Side People's Federal Credit Union is making itself a target of the entire Trump regime and its rightwing Brownshirts.

Vote "Caging" Gets legal?!? RNC Asks Court To Lift Consent Decree That Blocked Jim Crow Voter Purge Scam When voting-rights attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined our investigations team in 2008, he examined the latest documents we'd squirreled out of Republican Party headquarters' files. And then he said, speaking of Karl Rove and his associate Tim Griffin, "What they did was absolutely illegal -- and they knew it and they did it anyway. Griffin should be in jail." But Griffin's not in jail, he went to Congress.

The Keystone Pipeline And The Safety PIG That Was Muzzled So It Couldn't Squeal Federal law requires pipelines, like the Keystone, to be regularly inspected to spot corrosion, failing welds, minor leaks, and other such issues before they can cause any problems. To do this, oil companies send PIGs -- Pipeline Inspection Gauges -- through their pipes. However, the data they send back is only as good as the computer code used to analyze it.

I went to School with the Vegas Shooter This is where Paddock and Palast were bred: Sun Valley, the anus of Los Angeles. Steve's brain was too big to end up on the tracks. He lived in empty apartments in crappy buildings he bought, then in a barren tract house outside Reno. I laugh when they say he was "rich." He wanted to be THEM, to have their stuff. He got close.

Charlottesville: A gun in his face, but he got the photo Don't look away. Four white neo-Nazis are beating a Black man, crawling on the ground, with their metal poles and a yellow hunk of lumber. The beating continues -- there's blood on the pavement. Our photographer, Zach D. Roberts, continues to shoot -- even as a white militant raises a 9mm pistol to his face.
