Learning From Each Other’s Struggles Is Vital To Long-Term Success
When we’re up against the state or powerful corporations, patriarchal or racial structures, we can’t take success or even survival for granted. What we do and how — our strategy and tactics, our understanding and skill — matters for the outcome. The stakes are high, and the cost of defeat is severe. This makes movement learning an ethical, as well as a practical, necessity. Reinventing the wheel — only learning when we and our movements go through something ourselves — is a recipe for intensified and prolonged suffering. Meanwhile, a “Do something, anything” mentality is often jus... read more

It is just the latest move in a long history of destructive US-UK meddling in the Horn of Africa.

The idea that a monetary system can be centrally planned has about the same chance of success as centrally planned automobile manufacturing or farming.

The boom completes, then most asset prices “faw down”, taking participants through an emotional whipsaw from euphoria to dismay. Worse, the hit initiates a recession and over the centuries – the bigger the boom the bigger the bust. Encompassing stocks, bonds, commodities and real estate this has been the biggest bubble in history. With considerable fascination, it has been... read more

The continued decline of Biden and the Dems
Washington Free Beacon: President Joe Biden's approval rating plunged last month, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Research poll, as Democratic voters turn their backs on the president ahead of this year's midterms. Biden's poll numbers have dipped since April to 39 percent, the lowest number the AP has found since the start of his presidency. Other pollsters' results are comparable: A Quinnipiac University poll found that only 35 percent of Americans approve of Biden, the Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday.

California grid not up to charging electric vehicles?
MSN: California energy officials issued a sobering warning this month, telling residents to brace for potential blackouts as the state’s energy grid faces capacity constraints heading into the summer months. In Sacramento, officials said California’s grid could face a potential shortfall of roughly 1,700 megawatts, which would affect the power supply of between 1 million and 4 million people this summer. That number would likely be exacerbated by an additional shortfall of 5,000 megawatts in the case of extreme heat and further fire damage to existing power lines. And since the ... read more

Texas, Florida robbed of House seats by Census 'mistakes'
The Hill: The U.S. Census Bureau this week said the decennial tabulation of every American resident had miscounted populations in 14 states by enough that a handful of seats in the House of Representatives should have gone to other states. But even with evidence in hand that at least a few seats should have shifted between states — Texas and Florida, for example, may have deserved additional seats — there is nothing those states, the Census Bureau, the Commerce Department or Congress can do about it.

The Department of the Interior (DOI) announced Thursday that it would issue an updated proposed program plan for offshore lease sales by June 30.

The Utilitarian and Evangelical Alliance Against Hinduism
Utilitarianism is regarded as an atheistic, secular, and liberal philosophy. But in the nineteenth century, it acted like a militant colonial faith devoted to christianizing and anglicizing the non-Western cultures, especially Indian culture. The utilitarians applied their utilitarian principle and argued that happiness to the highest number of people was possible only under a Christianized and Anglicized social order. With such conviction, it was natural for them to develop an alliance with the British Evangelicals who wanted to make Christianity dominant in all parts of the world.... read more

The problem of global energy inequity, explained by American refrigerators

A highly efficient air conditioner uses 483 kWh per year, and even more if the system is older or less efficient. Chances are, though, kilowatt-hours don’t mean a lot to you. To help put it into perspective, consider this chart: Let’s spell this out. In any given year, ... read more

Saturday Snippet: Equity, equality and inequality - what's changed?

What's more, they're often used to whip up emotions, even violence, against the "haves" by the "have-nots". You can see the pernicious influence of such incitement in ... read more
