Fast Track to Nowhere: America's Failed Trade Policy

Robert L. Borosage

President, Institute for America's Future

The Obama administration continues to push a fast track to nowhere. U.S. Trade Representative Michael B. Froman now has launched charm offensive, meeting with legislators, consumer, union and environmental groups to try to defuse growing opposition to fast track trade authority. Fat chance. Senate Majority leader Harry Reid says he has no intention of bringing fast track up on the Senate floor (at least before the election). House Speaker John Boehner couldn't even round up a Democratic co-sponsor for the bill. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has voiced her opposition. The inescapable reality is that the U.S. has pursued a globalization strategy that is a calamitous failure. This isn't the time to pursue more, better, bigger trade accords. This is a time for a fundamental reassessment.

Inequality, Productivity, and WhatsApp

Robert Reich

Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley; Author, Beyond Outrage

The winners here are truly big winners. WhatsApp's fifty-five employees are now enormously rich. Its two founders are now billionaires. And the partners of the venture capital firm that financed it have also reaped a fortune. And the rest of us?

The 5 Types of Friends Everyone Should Have

Shelley Emling

Senior Editor, HuffPost 50

Thanks to Facebook, the idea of 'de-friending' someone is not a foreign one. With a few simple clicks, you can wipe someone from your 'friends' list and never again be faced with a seemingly endless stream of birthday party photos from someone you're no longer close to. But in the real world it's a lot harder to 'de-friend' someone -- but it can be even more important to do so.

The Path Forward Through Education

Marian Wright Edelman

President, Children's Defense Fund

We are making progress: student achievement is up, dropout rates are down and achievement gaps between racial groups are narrowing. But these improvements are not big enough, widespread enough or fast enough for us to be content.

10 Unbelievable Facts You Didn't Know About Redheads

Emma Kelly

Founder and Editor of Ginger Parrot (www.gingerparrot.co.uk), a website for redheads

Having pale skin may mean that redheads burn more easily when exposed to UV rays, but their paleness can serve as an advantage. Redheads can't absorb sufficient Vitamin D due to low concentrations of eumelanin in their body.

The Noose, Ole Miss, and Free Speech

Geoffrey R. Stone

Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law, University of Chicago

How should the University of Mississippi respond? What does it mean to say that these "ideas have no place here"? Assuming the individuals who did this were students, should the university expel or otherwise discipline them? Are there "ideas" that "have no place" on a university campus?

WhatsApp and Facebook's Unite and Conquer Mission

Bianca Bosker

Executive Tech Editor, The Huffington Post

We've thought of Facebook's growing ecosystem of services as revolving around and expanding the core Facebook experience. We're thinking too small. Zuckerberg is dreaming of an even larger universe of services that aren't tied to Facebooking, but communicating -- full stop.

Carina Kolodny

Sr. Editor for Special Projects, The Huffington Post

I believe that marriage equality will stomp out the remaining misogyny that you call "tradition."

In Defense of Venezuela

Dan Kovalik

Human and labor rights lawyer

The U.S. media, echoing the sentiments of the U.S. government, is openly encouraging violent regime change in Venezuela. This type of reporting is not only irresponsible, but it is deeply misinformed.

The Science of Momentum: Does a Win Today Predict a Win Tomorrow?

Kevin Kniffin

Behavioral scientist at Cornell University

If your favorite team or player wins on a given day -- especially if it's a landslide win, then it's likely that "momentum" gets thrown around by people previewing the next event. For better or worse, momentum is one of those concepts that's sticky in our heads.

On the Origins of the Violence in Ukraine

Daniel Solomon

Writer and consultant based in Washington, DC

The glacial decay of the Ukrainian public sphere, as a political thing, is a years-long, intentional affair. In the decade since the so-called Orange Revolution in 2004, Ukraine's governing patrons have engaged an aggressive campaign of civic subterfuge.

Are the United States and the European Union right to impose sanctions on Ukrainian officials as a result of the escalating violence in Kiev? If so, should they be more proactive in solving the Ukrainian crisis?

Drones in Pakistan: Peace... And Quiet

Rep. Alan Grayson

U.S. Congressman for Florida's 9th District

There were no U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan last month. For the first time in over two years. I'm happy that, conceivably, we may finally be seeing that secret war come to a quiet end.

The Scandal of Syria

John Feffer

Co-director, Foreign Policy In Focus

Today we confront the fallen world of Syria. Is this House of Cards territory where ambition and revenge battle for supremacy and there is nothing to do but watch the horrors unfold before our eyes? Or do we believe that, despite our own original sins, we Americans can don the white hat and fix things in Syria?

Norman Solomon

Author, 'War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death'

Few people have direct contact with outfits like Booz Allen Hamilton or Lockheed Martin. But every day, Amazon is depending on millions of customers to go online and buy products from its sites. As more people learn about its CIA ties, Amazon could -- and should -- suffer the consequences.

Seeing Through the CBO's Minimum Wage Fog

Ralph Nader

Consumer advocate, lawyer and author

Both sides of the aisle are spinning the report, creating a fog around minimum wage policy that may further discourage a Walmart-influenced Congress from taking any action. Given the miserly state of the minimum wage today, such a can't-do attitude is unacceptable.
