Hiding In Plain Sight: The Poor People’s Justice Movement
Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
PPEHRC, constituted by poor people organizing themselves, has been once again highly visible, in rising up against the radically increased precarity that COVID has visited on vast populations. This crisis is all the more visible in Philadelphia, which already held the dubious honor of being the poorest big city in America, in real terms nearly half the population. How should oppressed peoples respond to a crisis that devastates their communities more than any other? With so many newly impoverished people—and as those who were already poor suffer far more still—PPEHRC has expand...

The timing of the fire set to the youth prison feels deeply symbolic, especially in light of a Michigan court case where a Black teenage girl is ...

Russia Halted S-400 Air Defense Sales to China. Why?
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC11938EDE40&share=true] Moscow claims it is because of the pandemic, but it looks like there's another reason. The Kremlin has abruptly suspended further S-400 deliveries to The People’s Republic of China (PRC), portending an early sign of strain in the burgeoning ‘strategic partnership’ between Russia and China. As Russia’s premier missile defense system, the S-400 Triumf has generated widespread interest from high-profile importers over the past decade. In a subs...

*Kris Osborn* *Security, * Thanks to AI. *Key Point*: AI-applications can absorb new war-sensitive information, bounce it off a seemingly limitless database and quickly perform comparative analyses to make decisions. The new stealth U.S. Air Force B-21 bomber has taken yet another key technological step toward being ready for war, through integrated computer automation designed to streamline information, improve targeting and offer pilots organized warzone information in real-time. Air Force and Northrop Grumman developers recently completed an essential software-empowered proc...

* "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45"* *"But Then It Was Too Late", **Excerpt* by Milton Mayer "What no one seemed to notice," said a colleague of mine, a philologist, "was the ever widening gap, after 1933, between the government and the people. Just think how very wide this gap was to begin with, here in Germany. And it became always wider. You know, it doesn’t make people close to their government to be told that this is a people’s government, a true democracy, or to be enrolled in civilian defense, or even to vote. All this has little, really nothing, to do with ...

In an earlier post, I expressed my admiration for John Lewis. Today, *The New York Times* published his last address to his nation, written a couple of days before he died. It will be read and re-read in future decades. Lewis wrote: While my time here has now come to an end, I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me. You filled me with hope about the next chapter of the great American story when you used your power to make a difference in our society. Millions of people motivated simply by human compassion laid down the burdens of division. Arou...
Celebrating National Whistleblower Appreciation Day, Despite All Its Contradictions
Kevin Gosztola, Shadowproof - 14 hours ago
On July 30, 2013, United States Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning was convicted of violating the Espionage Act and various other offenses. It was National Whistleblower Appreciation Day, and though she was not found guilty of "aiding the enemy," the verdict in her trial crystallized a contradiction among the political establishment. Officials profess a commitment to whistleblowers except when they blow the whistle on abuse, fraud, or corruption that they have a vested interest in defending.

Colon Cancer Mystery: Are Too Many Antioxidants The Problem?
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 15 hours ago
TP53 is a gene found in every cell. It produces a protein called p53 which acts as a cell's barrier, even suppressing genetic mutations in the cell. However, if p53 becomes damaged, it no longer protects the cell as well. Perhaps even the opposite, it may drive the cancer, helping tumors spread and grow. That may be why only 2 percent of such cancers take root in the small intestine, while 98 percent take place in the colon, even though the colon is a much smaller organ. read more

Gerard N. Magliocca, Balkinization - 14 hours ago
The President, not being known for thinking through anything, suggests this morning that the presidential election be delayed. Let's run with this hypothetical, shall we? Congress can delay the presidential election. What Congress cannot do is extend the President's or the Vice-President's term in office. Thus, on January 20th the pending terms would expire. What would that mean? First, Nancy Pelosi would become President. The Presidential Succession Act of 1947 (read in conjunction with Section Three of the Twentieth Amendment) says that if there is no President-elect or Vice-Presi...

If America is systemically racist why do Ghanian Americans earn more than White Americans?
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 15 hours ago
As part of the big lie that America is systemically racist the Democrat party's platform declares that the median income of minorities is lower than that of whites. But that's not the case as this chart shows: Ghanians and Nigerians are Black. Yet they earn more than white Americans. Clearly that shows that America can't be systemically racist. In a systemically racist society white people would earn more than anyone else but that's clearly not the case. Indian Americans earn nearly twice what white Americans do and they're brown skinned. What this shows is that America is a land...
The same people who attack Hydroxychloroquine want women taking dangerous abortion drugs

Democrats are depending on keeping us all locked up so that the economy tanks in order to win in November. Every treatment that is proposed they attack. One of their most bizarre claims is that Hydroxychlorquine(HC) is dangerous and shouldn't be used. To listen to them HC is a new experimental drug but the reality is that it's used by large numbers of people who suffer from arthritis and who want to avoid getting malaria. Here's what the CDC says about who can take HC: *Hydroxychloroquine can be prescribed to adults and children of all ages. It can also be safely taken by pregnant...
