The U.S., because of its size and power, makes moves that ripple throughout the planet. Formerly, some actions and decisions by the U.S. were followed by other countries. Now, many of the actions and decisions are decried by other countries.
Our choices to bomb other countries affect innocent citizens of those countries. Decisions here affect our own citizens, some innocent and some who chose through their vote to create dystopia. New Choices writers and editors have strong opinions about these type choices.
Herbert Dyer, Jr., New Choices editor, who has Bachelors and Masters degrees in political science, with emphasis on African Studies, recently praised Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown for taking Clarence Thomas to task over birthright citizenship.

The Overworked Critic That Doesn’t Understand Passion
I’m the Editor-in-Chief of New Choices. The following piece is about my trip to Cuba in 2023, and the wonderful people I met there. It’s also about my deep concern and worry for their well-being as the current administration has blocked all oil imports to Cuba, leaving my friends hungry and in the dark. It’s unreasonable cruelty with no clear goal in mind, just needless torture.
