In his dissent in *Bostock v.

Move Over, V2: How the Allies Created Radio-Controlled Flying Bombs During World War II
*Caleb Larson* *History, Europe* The program became known as Operation Aphrodite. *Key Point*: Old B-17 bombers were packed with explosives and turned into flying bombs to take out German U-boat pens and V-2 rocket sites. *Bombs Away* In 1943 and 1944, the German V-missile campaign was in full swing, with thousands of V-2 bombs hitting England in 1944 alone. Something had to be done—the V-2 assembly and launch sites had to be taken out. But how? The plan was simple: use older B-17 Flying Fortresses that were no longer in active service as flying bombs. The B-17s were to be strea... more »

The Democrats’ Disastrous, Militarist Climate Plan

It proposes no fundamental change in lifestyle, no reduction in personal consumption, and no halt or reduction in eating meat (but renewable energy production on land used for livestock, so that the same land can mitigate the unacknowledged damage it is doing).

Time To Rethink The US-ROK Alliance
Perhaps it’s time for South Korea, then, to assert more independence and become a master of its own fate. Above all, that will require a reconsideration of the military alliance with the United States. From a military point of view, South Korea doesn’t need the presence of U.S. troops on the peninsula. They serve a largely symbolic function as a concrete sign of U.S. commitment. At some point, after the resolution of ongoing negotiations, South Korea will assume full operational control of military forces. After years of arms imports, South Korea’s hardware advantage gives it a va... more »

Your White Neighbor’s ‘Black Lives Matter’ Yard Sign Is Not Enough
Despite my having grown up in the South, Portland is the most racist place I have ever lived. This is because being anti-racist isn’t about using politically correct buzzwords and giving lip service to sensitive conversation topics. Being anti-racist is about constructing a landscape that is safe for dark people to inhabit. It is not about white people trying to prove they are “woke” by putting up yard signs. That is not even what “woke” means. “Woke” is a territory of open-eyed, unsuperficial, cultural awareness white people are nowhere close to occupying; they are not even in th... more »
White Supremacy And Segregation Under FDR’s New Deal
Key New Deal programs failed Black Americans. The WPA and CCC could have been part of a segregation-busting project, but instead segregation was bolstered, as Blacks were relegated to separate work camps across the country, bringing Jim Crow to the North. The best jobs went to whites and out of the 10,000 WPA supervisors hired in the south, only 11 were Black. This was one of the many concessions FDR made to the racist southern Democrats in his coalition, which bled over to the war mobilization where whites and Blacks served in segregated units. The backwardness of the South was f... more »

The Biopolitics of Herd Immunity
Capitalism is crippled by a crisis that is biopolitical in nature. For once, the contradictions of the system haven't exploded and sent growth rates spiralling southwards.

In the UK, lest we forget, the government were forced into lockdown measures as people voted with their feet.
