Musicians Are Feeling The Bern
I can't believe people were asking me if I went to the big Bernie-Public Enemy event at the L.A. Colliseum ever the weekend. *Me*? In a 17,000 people arena? In the middle of the coronavirus.

Times* pop music reporter Randy Lewis wrote about Bernie's immense support from musicians of all stripes. It wasn't a review of the Public Enemy concert though.

Critical Legal Studies in Historical Perspective
Last week Princeton University's LAPA program and library hosted a conference on critical legal studies in, as I would put it, historical perspective. (There is of course something a bit odd about finding oneself to be an object of *historical* inquiry.) I'm still digesting what was said, but here are some preliminary, mostly unconnected observations. 1. In what sense, other than as an organization, is CLS dead? One younger participant suggested that it wasn't dead at all, because it lived on in scattered "sleeper cells" ready to emerge when circumstances become favorable. I had bee... more »

Does CBD Hold Key to Antibiotic Resistance?
Researchers have reported that CBD, one of the compounds found in hemp, has shown promise against antibiotic resistant infections such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). This is in addition to the other benefits of CBD for pain, anxiety, and a number of other conditions. We must ensure that the FDA does not make CBD a monopoly drug and allows CBD to be sold in supplements at therapeutic levels. The researchers found that CBD was “remarkably effective” at killing a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, including bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotics, and d... more »
Conservatives And Corruptionists Rally Behind Status Quo Joe-- Even They Know The Oligarch Would Be A Disaster

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/coronavirus-us-reaction-criticism-1.5482317 Donald Trump, despite the opinon expressed by a doctor in the article above, (and despite the rise of coronavirus) has been dismissive of those who warn about the danger of it. In fact, he has gone so far as to say there is no crisis, and it's all just a panic being stored up the Democrats. There is also much doubt about how the American privatization of health can deal with the crisis. As it is, Americans who are being treated for coronavirus are being billed for it. And that means that the poor can't afford ... more »

"Did Covid-19 Just Pop All the Global Financial Bubbles?"
*"Did Covid-19 Just Pop All the Global Financial Bubbles?"* by Charles Hugh Smith ""Even though the first-order effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are still impossible to predict, it's already possible to ask: did the pandemic pop all the global financial bubbles? The reason we can ask this question is the entire bull mania of the 21st century has been based on a permanently high rate of expansion of leverage and debt. The lesson of the 2008-09 Global Financial meltdown was clear: any decline in the rate of debt/leverage expansion is enough to threaten financial bubbles, and any abso... more »

Could there be a constitutional power struggle brewing on WTO and trade
In 2017 when President Trump took office, he commented “No More — America First”. Then he went about looking into manufacturing on critical items within the U.S. and like many discovered that much of what made the U.S. a superpower was now being farmed out to overseas suppliers. What he found obviously disturbed him greatly after reviewing reports and considering future needs. Since then, Trump has tapped EPA, Department of Commerce, USITC, and more in trying to stop the bleeding and reverse the impact on our country’s infrastructure needs. Those suppliers took our natural resources... more »

President Trump, the CDC Budget, and Fiscal Irresponsibility
The President’s critics have savaged his response to the novel coronavirus outbreak. Certainly his obsession with the stock market, his assignment of his science-resistant Vice President to lead the coronavirus task force, and his efforts to restrict the flow of expert information are deeply disappointing. The exploitation of this crisis to promote more ill-targeted tax cuts and anti-immigrant measures is shameful. The world lost its chance to prevent a coronavirus pandemic when one illiberal regime prioritized avoiding political embarrassment over the public health; ... more »

Russia's Power Struggle Over the Syrian War Has Prompted Turkey to Seek U.S. Assistance
*Ali Demirdas* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] It is now evident that the Ankara-Moscow cooperation has reached its limits in Syria. In early February, for the first time in the rebel-held stronghold of the Idlib province, the Syrian government directly hit Turkish targets, killing eight Turkish soldiers and civilian contractors in one of the observation posts that Turkey built to monitor the de-escalation zone. It was a shock for the Turks; the blame immediately was placed on Russia; without whose permission the Syrian Armed Forces is not able to “move a muscle.” Turkis... more »

The NHS is still at risk: Email your MP!
Yesterday the government published its objectives for a trade deal with the US. As usual, the document makes a very general claim that the NHS and drug pricing will not be on the table in a trade deal with Donald Trump.

Primary Notes from a Shit-Hole Superpower: Crashing the Party from the Top Down
12 noon: Just to be clear, the Dem establishment will gladly enable a second fascistic and ecocidal Trump term before it will get behind a progressive Dem/Sanders nomination. The neoilberal Dem masters will do everything they can, including sabotage of Sanders, to sustain the party’s status as a thoroughgoing ruling class institutional asset. They are the ones with ideological purity tests, and they are loudly and clearly announcing their preference for Trump over Sanders in 2020 as in 2016.
