New study shows that Democrats de Blasio and Cuomo are responsible for most new China virus cases by early March
Here's what an epidemiologist said: *We now have enough data to feel pretty confident that New York was the primary gateway for the rest of the country,” said Nathan Grubaugh, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health* It's time to play let's pretend that Democrats are Republicans game! Ever since China lied and people died the #FakeNews media has been desperately attempting to blame Trump for what is a natural disaster; except for the Chinese lying part that is. While early steps might not have prevented the pandemic they would certainly helped reduce the magnitude and... more »
The Class Politics of Easing the Lockdown
If the government had paid attention to the NHS pandemic exercise of four years ago, took the initial outbreak of Coronavirus in China more seriously, ordered more personal protection kit when the opportunity was there, and hadn't dragged its feet over implementing the lockdown the number of Covid-19 fatalities would be far fewer than the official tally of over 30,000 people. No amount of tone policing by the likes of Matt Hancock, or "constructively" pussyfooting around the government's dreadful performance changes this inescapable fact. There are people now dead who should be liv... more »

The White Lobby: When The U.S. Was Sanctions-Buster Extraordinaire
The bullet holes were what stuck with me. I visited the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina during the summer of 2016, at the head of the West Point civil rights history staff ride - a two week trip across the American South for select cadets in my classes. It had only been a year since the young white supremacist Dylan Roof had murdered nine people at the famed historically black church. So it was eery to attend the very same evening prayer session that he’d shot up and glimpse the persistent pocked marked evidence on the walls. Much was la... more »

Mueller loses a big one: DOJ dropping charges against General Flynn
General Flynns prosecution never had anything to do with the whole Russian collusion narrative since his "crime" was that he allegedly lied to the FBI about what he'd discussed with a Russian diplomat. That could sound bad except for the fact as Trump's national security advisor it would be odd if Flynn wasn't talking to Russians as part of the transition between the Obama and the Trump administration. In a clearly dishonest effort the DOJ was investigating Flynn for violating the Logan Act of 1799. That law says that private citizens can't get involved in US foreign policy. Give... more »

Flynn previously pled guilty to making false statements in an interview at the White House on January 24, 2017, which, recently released FBI documents demonstrate, was a setup up to get Flynn fired as President Trump’s national security adviser and prosecuted.

You Matter: Essential Home Daycare Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic
As a former early childhood teacher and current associate professor of early childhood education, I am concerned, to put it mildly, about essential education professionals being overlooked or discounted in discussions and policies for P-12 teachers and brick and mortar schools. There are thousands of families depending on home daycare providers to teach and care for their children. I suspect the need has increased since this health pandemic, and those in dire need are families who live in poverty and the working poor, a disproportionate percentage of whom are Black and Latinx.

"We All Know..."
“We all know that something is eternal. And it ain’t houses and it ain’t names, and it ain’t earth, and it ain’t even the stars... everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for five thousand years and yet you’d be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There’s something way down deep that’s eternal about every human being." - Thornton Wilder ◆ “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history.

"What Was Einstein’s Most Mind-blowing Discovery?"
*"What Was Einstein’s Most Mind-blowing Discovery?"* by Big Think "NASA astronomer and science communicator Michelle Thaller explains that the real brilliance of Albert Einstein is that he was able to bridge ideas that appeared to others to be in different realms. The thing Einstein is most famous for is the equation E=mc2. Thaller explains why that equation is so mind-blowing: Pure energy and matter are the same thing. That means, as humans, we are both made of matter and of pure energy, and as pure energy, we would not experience space or time. "I think that, once we really under... more »
ANOMIE, Part II-- The Masked Men Are The Good Guys... And The Unmasked Are The Enemies Of Society
*Face To Face by Nancy Ohanian* Please think of this post as a continuation the 5AM piece on anomie. I had a few questions about what anomie is. nd after I realized that not everyone was a sociology major-- I was-- I grabbed the Wikipedia description: "the condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals". Anomie may evolve from conflict of belief systems and causes breakdown of social bonds between an individual and the community (both economic and primary socialization). In a person this can progress into a dysfunction in ability to integrate within normati... more »

US Government Fears China Will Give Away COVID-19 Vaccine For Free
The number of official global coronavirus mortalities surpassed a quarter of a million people today, including over 69,000 in the U.S. (although this is very likely an undercount). Polls show that the American people are extremely worried about contracting the virus. However, the government has a much bigger concern: that if they find a COVID-19 vaccine, China will copy it and distribute it for free. To many, it will not be immediately clear why it would be a problem for a manufacturing superpower, home to 1.4 billion people, to inoculate itself and others. But to the White House,... more »

The warm sunny days leading up to the Easter holidays are quickly fading from memory. Then, despite the threat of a global pandemic, there was optimism in the air.

The gradual shutdown of “non-essential” employment revealed for all to see who is and who is not important in the grand scheme of things. And it turned out that the truly important people were mostly the ones on low wages; while the ... more »
