Crowdfunding the Women of the Islamic State
vmironova, Lawfare - 12 hours ago
Social media applications displayed on a screen. (https://flic.kr/p/AH2JWr; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) Life is not cheap in the women’s detainee camps for Islamic State-affiliated families in northeastern Syria. It costs around $500 a month for a family of four to survive (to buy food and other basic necessities), and being smuggled out is even more expensive—around $15,000. But detained women consistently manage to get the funds to survive and sometimes even to escape. So how are women getting that money? I tried to answer that very question. For al...

Ed Markey (D-MA) involved a change in the way buildings are constructed.

OTI Condemns ‘Unhinged’ FCC, Urges Restoration Of Net Neutrality
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
Washington, DC - On October 27, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 to reaffirm its 2017 repeal of net neutrality. The vote is a response to Mozilla v. FCC, a 2019 court ruling that found the FCC’s decision to repeal net neutrality was “unhinged from the realities of modern broadband service” and ignored the government’s duty to protect public safety, digital equity, and broadband competition. In February 2020, the FCC abruptly announced a short public comment period to address the ruling and the court-ordered remand, or do-over, of the net neutrality proceeding...

Blacklocks (paywalled): Canada’s chief public health officer yesterday in an official report on the pandemic deleted all references to garbled advice on masks. Dr. Theresa Tam as late as April 3 claimed there was no evidence masks protected Canadians from Covid-19: “It is absolutely mind-boggling.”

Fer137 recommended us a very nice article on lockdownism, a new totalitarian ideology (or religion) that is spreading like fire. It is an extreme form of germophobia that tries to pretend it is healthy instead of a pathology (which is what germophobia has been for centuries – and I say it as a former child germophobe although probably a lite version of Sheldon Cooper). It envisions an ideal world where people never meet let alone touch each other.

*Caleb Larson* *Karabiner 43, Europe* Though not the first German semi-automatic rifle, the Karabiner 43 offered a number of improvements over its predecessors.

During the Nazi sweep eastward, German soldiers encountered Russian troops armed with SVT-38s and SVT-40, early semi-automatic rifles fielded by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Though i...

Biden’s Attempt To Unite Democrat & Republican Foreign Policy Hawks Is Intriguing
Andrew KORYBKO, OrientalReview.org - 15 hours ago
Biden’s description of Russia as “the biggest threat to America” and China as its “biggest competitor” is an intriguing attempt to unite the anti-Russian and anti-Chinese factions of America’s permanent military, intelligence, and diplomatic bureaucracies (“deep state”) even if it’s ultimately insincere (to say nothing of being unsuccessful in the […]

Tommaso Dorigo, Science 2.0 blogs - 15 hours ago
The sanitary emergency presently affecting most countries across the World is highlighting the duties that each of us, as a member of a collectivity of individuals who share commodities, services and infrastructure, is called at times to attend to.

Democrat abortion extremism; they're for abortion for any reason at any time
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 14 hours ago
Democrats have fought against laws that would have prevented abortions based on race, sex, or disability. That means that Democrat politicians support a woman's "right" to kill her unborn daughter because she wants a boy. It also means that they support killing unborn babies who might be "defective". In 2012 House Democrat the vast majority of Democrats opposed a law that would have prohibited abortions based on the father's race or the unborn child's sex. Joe Biden used to oppose using taxpayer dollars to support elective abortions but he's all for taxing you to pay for women's...

Joe says he believes in science but that's clearly not true because if he did he'd know that even if they're taking drugs biological men are stronger, faster, and have better endurance than women do. That's why when so so male athletes declare themselves to be women they suddenly start setting records.
