The Real State of our UnionThe state of our union is fractured and perilous. We continue to face an economic crisis of truly historic proportions. There are more than six jobseekers for every unfilled job - a gap that is growing, not shrinking.

Racism has consequencesPerhaps there is more at work than the latent racism that leads to remarks that are at their best in poor taste and at their worst indicative of utter moral failure. The way to work through a controversy like today's uproar is to put these incidents into a larger narrative about the consequences of entrenched racism and prejudice.

That, in our eyes, is non-negotiable. Read More>
