May 3: RFK awards
Register for the 2023 Book and Journalism AwardsJoin us for the ceremony on May 3!
Register now for the virtual celebration on World Press Freedom Day, where we'll reveal this year's winners. The ceremony will premiere at 12 p.m. EDT and will re-air at 3 p.m. EDT.
About the awards
The Robert F. Kennedy Book Award was founded in 1980 with the proceeds from Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.'s bestselling biography, Robert Kennedy and His Times. Each year, Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights presents an award to the book that, as Schlesinger said, "most faithfully and forcefully reflects Robert Kennedy's purposes – his concern for the poor and the powerless, his struggle for honest and even-handed justice, his conviction that a decent society must assure all young people a fair chance, and his faith that a free democracy can act to remedy disparities of power and opportunity."
Founded by the reporters who covered Robert F. Kennedy's historic 1968 presidential campaign, the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards honor outstanding reporting on issues that reflect Robert Kennedy's concerns, including human rights, social justice, and the power of individual action in the United States and around the world. Entries should provide insights into the causes, conditions, and remedies of human rights violations and injustice, and critical analysis of relevant policies, programs, individual actions, and private endeavors that foster positive change. The Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards are among the few in which winners are determined by their peers. Entries should provide insights into the causes, conditions, and remedies of human rights violations and injustice, and critical analysis of relevant policies, programs, individual actions, and private endeavors that foster positive change.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Barbie Anchorbabe presents 'The BarbWire'"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3618
Those of you who know me well enough have heard me often joke about my
now-customary Daily Accidental Random 15 Seconds Of MSNBC. For the
past two weeks or so, it's been the Donald Trump Indictment Show
almost 24/7, to the exclusion of everything else going on in the world
— uprising in France, poisoned air and water in Ohio and Indiana,
Pentagon leaks exposing Amerika's ugly naked ass over its action in
Ukraine, you name it.
One morning about a week or so back, for the entire 15 seconds it took
me to bring in Mrs. F's coffee and Washington Post to the master
bedroom, the babbling anchorbabe creaming her panties over the Trump
indictment must've burbled the word "democracy" at least a dozen
times. Normally, I'd suggest a drinking game, but I wouldn't want to
be responsible for anyone ending up in the ER after trying to throw
back a shot every time some talking Barbie doll queefed out the word
"democracy" on MSNBC.
The really hysterical thing is that — as per usual in this goddamn
town — the Pushing Wing of the Party is more than willing to instigate
the arrest and trial of a former guy — uhh, former President who leads
the Shoving Wing of the Party, but not for any actual crimes against
the People, as the leaders of the Pushing Wing of the Party are
entirely complicit and would expose themselves. So, a cheap-ass sex
scandal it is — again.
And what especially sucks is that the sonofabitch will never, ever see
the inside of a prison cell for any crime ever, because the Democrats
need him to run against. Hell, why provide a viable progressive
alternative when you can just make up an enemy to jerk the Left back
into line, amirite? LBJ never went to trial for any crimes, or Nixon,
or Reagan, or Clinton — hell, George W. Bush not only never stood
trial for his crimes, he got a goddamn one-man show at the Kennedy
Center. Bah, fuck art.
