Nexus X HumectressBy Nate Raymond, Reuters BOSTON, June 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department has urged the Supreme Court to reinstate the death sentence of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted in the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, despite President Joe Biden’s stated opposition to capital punishment. The department in a 48-page […]
This doesn’t really sound like defunding the police. By Jarrett Renshaw, Reuters June 15 (Reuters) – Five months after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Biden administration on Tuesday will unveil steps for federal and local officials and social media companies to battle national security threats posed […]
It seems like that surge of libertarianism that took place during the Ron Paul era has largely passed, with many former libertarians moving either to the Trumpist right or the “woke” left, and the remaining libertarians merely becoming appendages to the Red Tribe or Blue Tribe. By Peter […]

By Joan Greve, The Guardian In those states, Republicans hold the governorship and the legislature, giving them the power to take aim at abortion access, trans rights, voting and gun safety. Democrats across the US cheered last month, as Texas legislators staged a walkout from the statehouse to […]
By By David Harsanyi National Review If the right to bear arms was intended to preserve slavery, why did civil-rights leaders insist that black Americans should be armed to protect themselves?

The Economist HOURS BEFORE Jo Phoenix, a professor of criminology at Britain’s Open University, was due to give a talk at Essex University about placing transgender women in women’s prisons, students threatened to barricade the hall.

Each new President usually ends up being a bigger joke than the one before.
By Rebecca Beitsch The Hill The White House unveiled its plan for addressing domestic terrorism on Tuesday, rolling out a strategy that set goals and acknowledged challenges as much as it outlined specific steps for combating a growing threat.

While it’s true that black males are 7% of the US population but commit 50% of the homicides, this data involves far less than 1% of black Americans overall, and is geographically contained to areas with high poverty rates. By Letitia Garred AnInjusticeMag A study by the U.S. […]
Whatever happened to the idea that libertarianism is supposed to be about doing your own thing individualism and free association?
In my perfect world, we’d have thousands, or tens of thousands, of these.
Wrong. Our far-right are 19th-century plutocratic liberals. Our center-right are moderate reform liberals. Our center-left are neo-liberals. Our far-left are progressive liberals. He’s right that we don’t have a far-left movement unless you count tankies on YouTube.
This is somewhat reminiscent of when cosmopolitanism, bohemianism, androgyny, sexual/chemical experimentation, etc. were considered to be the prerogatives of aristocrats in opposition to the values of the conservative peasantry. It also fits with the recent study by Amory Gethin, Clara Martínez-Toledano, and Thomas Piketty indicating that the “left” […]
When you create a meme that inadvertently makes the point that “CRTs,” “SJWs,” and similar others are not so much “Marxists” as types of sectarian neo-Protestants. It’s also not surprising that black intellectuals like Derrick Bell, Kimberly Crenshaw, etc. would develop a theoretical framework like this given the […]
A reminder that 30 years ago there was just as much anti-Japan hysteria as there is anti-China hysteria today. But both are and will remain economic colonies of the Western capitalist empire. Two local businessmen destroy a Japanese made car in 1988. American car companies suffered in the […]
If attacking capitalism by calling it “socialism” is what works, so be it. If we could convince these types that the military, police, prisons, corporations, intellectual property, and banks are “communist” then we’d have something. Some of them are getting there on corporations and banks.
This works as well as the professional wrestling analogy.

I’ve met Dan Ellsberg twice. Once at a demonstration at the Pentagon in 1988, and once at a conference in DC in 2007. Had a conversation about Central America in an elevator with him at one point. By Elizabeth Becker, New York Times This article is part of […]
My guess is that this story is probably (mostly) true, but selectively chosen. Both the left and right like to pick out the worst examples from “the other side” they can find and hold those up as representative of their opponents generally. By Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge In […]
I’m hoping for more of this here. Let’s see some Congressional battle royales.

Useful idiots for neoliberalism and digital capitalism.
Ugh, no.
For the most part, universities have more in common with Wal-Mart than with North Korea, in the sense of having making money as their first priority. Higher education has become very corporatized in the past couple of decades, part of the “McDonaldization” process sociologists like George Ritzer started […]
By Chris Walker, Truthout Norma McCorvey probably isn’t a household name across most of the United States, but she was instrumental in a Supreme Court ruling most Americans are well-aware of: Roe v. Wade. In that decision, lawyers for McCorvey, who was listed as “Jane Roe” in briefings, […]

By most accounts, America was founded in 1776 when the Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence. More recently, The New York Times Magazine launched an initiative known as the 1619 Project, aiming to redefine America’s birth as being 1619, when the first slave ship arrived on American […]

The internet doesn’t naturally create these monopolies. These corporations bought their place on the market by cutting losses every year for well over a decade until they just outpaid and outresourced everybody else. Big money behind them, is why they got so big. Not because that organically happens […]
“Trust the science” LITERALLY means to DISTRUST the scientists. A poll of scientists or the opinion of a single scientist is not science at all.
