Hey, friends! New video is out now:
This is the story of how the U.S. government made an innocent man out to be a leader of al-Qaeda – how it subjected him to "enhanced interrogation," lied about him, and kept him locked up to this very day.

Hello, everyone! We hope you enjoy our latest video:
Wisconsin – that most American of all U.S. states – was once a land where socialists won elected office and where “the Wisconsin Idea” represented a nation where government could be a force for good. But in the last few decades, Wisconsin – and the rest of America – has changed. The story of Wisconsin is a story of much more: it’s the story of the betrayal of America’s poor and working class.
Philip Rocco, associate professor of political science at Marquette University, explains.

Franklin Roosevelt's speech would today be regarded as far outside the political mainstream: but when it was proposed, it was overwhelmingly popular with ordinary Americans.
Harvey Kaye, historian of the American left, explains.

Hello to our founding Patrons! Your support is absolutely critical to our mission of creating high-quality leftist education and combating right-wing propaganda. In collaboration with Professor Richard Wolff, we have just released a mini-documentary on the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and the capitalist Military Industrial Complex. This early project was a showcase of high-quality video production created for us by photographer Eric Kelly.
In the near future we will be launching a full PragerU of the left: creating short, accessible and polished videos on key political concepts with the most important progressive thinkers. Your subscription on Patreon makes you an integral part of this effort. We will be providing more exclusive updates in the coming weeks about the path forward and will be looking for contributions from the community. Feel free to shoot us a message with any questions you have.
All the best,
The Gravel Institute
