Health Justice And Black Liberation: Ugo Edu
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago
I remember always wanting to be a doctor—perhaps because my parents are Nigerian—and having a genuine concern with people’s health. I soon became disillusioned with treatment and the competition that entailed pre-med education as an undergrad at UCLA. Nonetheless, I decided public health better suited my interest and desire to develop preventive interventions. Public health left out too many factors to be the only means by which I felt I could contribute to health—I decided to study medical anthropology, simultaneously exploring other disciplinary offerings.

John Pilger: Eyewitness To The Agony Of Julian Assange
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago
The prevailing atmosphere has been shocking. I say that without hesitation; I have sat in many courts and seldom known such a corruption of due process; this is due revenge. Putting aside the ritual associated with ‘British justice’, at times it has been evocative of a Stalinist show trial. One difference is that in the show trials, the defendant stood in the court proper. In the Assange trial, the defendant was caged behind thick glass, and had to crawl on his knees to a slit in the glass, overseen by his guard, to make contact with his lawyers. The post John Pilger: Eyewitness T...

Tribes Defend Themselves Against A Pandemic

Armenia Has Escalated The War Against Azerbaijan
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 12 hours ago
Fantastic map from @LukeDCoffey. Armenia is losing in Nagorno-Karabakh, so why did it escalate?

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The Supermarine Spitfire was Britain's first line of defense in the Battle of Britain in 1940. Afterward it helped the Allies turn the tide of war on multiple fronts. On March 5, 1936, the new Supermarine Type 300 took off from Southampton, England. The plane would soon be called the Spitfire, and along with the Hawker Hurricane it would become Great Britain’s first line of defense.

A New Nonviolent Medicaid Army Is On The March
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
Across the United States, poor and dispossessed people cannot wait for our politicians to act. This week, in states including Kansas, Maine, Alabama, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Vermont, and Pennsylvania, people are coming together in “Medicaid Marches” to demand their right to health and healthcare. They know that Black people are dying at twice the rate of white people and that poverty is the highest risk factor for people of all races. They know that the United States now accounts for over 20 percent of worldwide deaths, despite having only 5 percent of the world’...
New Jobs Report Consistent With Weak Economy
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
Weaker-than-expected job growth in September sent a signal that the sharp economic recovery off the coronavirus shutdown may be hitting a wall. The Labor Department reported Friday that nonfarm payrolls increased by 661,000 in September, held back by declines in government employment and an exodus of workers from the labor force. In normal times, that type of hiring pace would be considered a sign of a robust job market. The total, in fact, would have been the best month the U.S. had seen since 1983 – if these were normal times and not amid the Covid-19 era that has changed the be...
Preempting Progress In The South
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
A new report from the Economic Analysis and Research Network (EARN) at EPI and the Local Solutions Support Center (LSSC) describes the ways in which state interference—in the form of preemption—is impeding local democracy and hamstringing progress on a variety of economic, social, and public health issues for communities throughout the South. The report also describes how this interference is a continuation of long-standing state-imposed policies and practices rooted in anti-Black racism and how modern-day misuse of preemption disproportionately disadvantages workers of color, wom...

Minnesota - About two dozen Amazon employees in Shakopee walked off their jobs Thursday night to support a colleague whom they said was unjustly fired earlier this week. The former employee, Farhiyo Warsame, also showed up at the walkout as her colleagues chanted her name. The employees chanted, clapped, and confronted a manager about Farhiyo’s termination for two hours, through chilly temperatures and darkness. As Farhiyo spoke to the crowd in front of the building, an operations manager with the company, flanked by a pair of other employees wearing neon vests, came out the fro...

Few things are more exciting than landing on Mars, right? It would be a stupendous technological achievement, the culmination of 60 years' worth of space exploration and a significant step to industrialising the solar system. Setting aside the superlatives, the sad truth is it's probably not great fodder for a Netflix televnovel. There's only so much that can be done with five people in a cramped tin can for six months. The latest Hilary Swank vehicle, *Away*, proves the point. 10 episodes of overwrought tedium was inevitable, I guess. And the producers of the show have tried getti...

There's been a lot of magical thinking about COVID. The most persistent magical meme is that we've turned the corner. Alan Freeman writes: As we head indoors in our small family units for the next six months or so, there is no way we’re going to be partying at Christmas. Perhaps next Easter, but then only if we have an early spring. Hopefully, new efforts by authorities to slow the spread by reducing social contacts will soon have an impact. But if they do, will we want to plunge into another upward spiral by letting down our guard too soon as we did this summer? The fact is that ...

Attack of the Clones: How state courts’ adoption of SCOTUS’ constitutional doctrinal disputes defeats the purpose of federalism
Guest Blogger, Balkinization - 14 hours ago
Rick Hills The Michigan supreme court has just held that Governor Whitmer’s emergency order addressing COVID19 risks is not authorized by the 1945 Michigan Emergency Powers of the Governor Act because that statute is unconstitutional under Article III, §2 of the 1963 Michigan Constitution. That provision (which was derived from, but not quite identical to Article IV, §2 of the 1908 Michigan Constitution and Article II, §2 of the 1850 Michigan Constitution) provides that: The powers of government are divided into three branches: legislative, executive and judicial.

On Monday, the guided-missile destroyer USS Stout (DDG-55) set a new U.S. Navy record when it completed a nearly seven month deployment in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations (AOO). The warship reached 210 days at sea, which was due to imposed restriction on port visits to protect the crew from coronavirus.

Thanks To Russia, Iran Could Have A Chance Against U.S. F-35 Stealth Fighters

Could the Air Force Really Afford Over 100 B-21 Stealth Bombers?

*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2OMH9Q2G2C&share=true] It would make sense but would be pricey as the service also tries to build a sixth-generation stealth fighter jet as well. *Key point: *The B-21 will be the future of stealth warfare. With the B-2 eventually to be retired, the Air Force is eyeing a large B-21 fleet. The arrival of the B-21 is expected to more than triple the percentage of low-observable bomber aircraft in the Air Force’s fleet by adding larger numbers of a new “stealth” plat...
Modi Sets His “Made In India” Plan Loose On The Indian Military

*Bharat Karnad* *Security, Asia* India’s mindbogglingly complex defence procurement system, tilted against local industry, has been only superficially reformed. As part of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘self-reliant India’ policy, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh issued a list of 101 defence items in August with different timelines beyond which their import will be banned, with a second list soon to follow. From December 2020, the armed forces will not be able to purchase some 69 types of foreign-sourced military goods, including many major weapons systems and platforms: s...

*In Other News, We Haven’t Had COVID Outbreaks from Schools Re-Opening* It’s not like this was a controversial position when you looked at the data. It’s not like there weren’t medical experts saying what The Washington Post has reported recently about schools in the COVID era. Instead, we got endless drama from teachers who didn’t want to work.

Parents want their kids in school. And sorry, teacher...
Democrat politicians are using mobs to attack Republicans

A Democrat who was a Bernie fan tried to murder multiple Republican Congressmen. The #FakeNews media dropped the story after 2 days. Democrat politicians have called for people to drive Republicans out of restaurants. Now Democrat mobs are going to the homes of Republican Senators with the clear message that if they vote for Trump's Supreme Court pick their lives will be in danger. Mobs showing up at Senators houses early in the morning with strobe lights and bullhorns is about threats and intimidation not First Amendment rights. Yet Pelosi, Schumer, Harris, Biden haven't said a...
Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal speak truth to power: the cops who accidentally shot Breonna Taylor did nothing wrong

Don't panic they still say that the system has to change but they said some refreshingly, and obviously true, things that has got them in deep trouble with insane leftists. Here's Barkley's take: God bless Barkley. He also is the only NBA commentator willing to point out that Brianna Taylor’s boyfriend fired first and hit a cop before they returned fire at him.

If Breonna Taylor had been white Democrats would have been talking about gun control
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 14 hours ago
If Breonna Taylor was white and her white boyfriend shot at the police as they entered her apartment the same Democrats who are saying all cops hate Black people would be saying that the incident shows the need for gun control. After all if Breonna's boyfriend hadn't shot at the police Breonna would be alive today. Clearly we need to keep people from having guns to avoid incidents like this is the mantra that Democrats would be repeating. But since it was a Black man who shot at the cops the issue isn't that guns are bad but that cops are bad. We know, based on both the testimon...
