For over a year now, much of the world has been watching the United States. With Donald Trump becoming the 45th president of the United States, and an investigation being opened into his campaign shortly after his inauguration, many of us, including all of us here at Majority Villain, have been watching with a healthy mix of shock and curiosity to see what will REALLY come of the allegations of collusion with Russia. Every day, we open our preferred 'fake news' branded site to see what car accid...

The Doomsday Clock is now two minutes to irrevocable worldwide destruction; the closest it has been since 1953, when the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists wrote, “Only a few more swings of the pendulum, and, from Moscow to Chicago, atomic explosions will strike midnight for Western civilization.” The Bulletin, a group accredited by the membership of its 15 Nobel laureates, began with former Manhattan Project scientists who could, “not remain aloof to the consequences of their work.” Their warnin...

Today’s show is dedicated to the hundreds of men, women and children killed in the November 24th attack on a Sufi mosque in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

Days ago, 6 leading scientists in climate change research printed an open letter stating that we have three years to stop irreversible damage to the climate. Sometimes called the "runaway greenhouse effect", the change would be unstoppable. Whether or not three years is accurate or not, the more important question is what are we willing to gamble away if it isn't? The future of the planet has never been in more jeopardy, and it is clear there is one political party on planet Earth who is hijacki...

Chomsky: there are two solutions to the 'problem' of democracy. Reduce inequality or reduce democracy. There are a number of ways to view politics.

Listen to Richard Wolff say “shit”, like, a half-dozen times. Seriously, it’s amazing. Professor Wolff gets open about his formative years growing up with immigrant parents who escaped Germany during WWII and shares how their experiences helped shape his criticism of American politics and Capitalism. While Wolff begins by telling us the key for knowing if the economy is improving or not, he finishes this extremely humanist discussion by reflecting on how the Vietnam War shaped him more than anyt...

As the 2016 presidential election comes to a close there remains at least one thing most Americans can agree on — we are glad it is almost over. (Featured photo courtesy of Ted Eytan on Flickr) Their candid antithesis makes most think they are deeply opposed candidates, but in the end they may not be as different as you think. Just reflect on what they haven’t discussed in the debate! Aside from a handful of minutes about climate change, nothing about Afghanistan, not one critique of Israel’s se...
