As Americans, we have been taught to believe in the historical myth of The Alamo, rather than the reality. Few of us are aware that the rebels who died defending The Alamo weren’t the legendary folk heroes we’ve been led to believe. They were defending the Alamo from the Mexican army, not for any noble […]
People experiencing the fallout from COVID-19 are just learning what poor people in America have known for quite some time: that they are totally expendable.
