Nexus X HumectressBy Dante Chinni NBC News WASHINGTON — The spread of the COVID-19 virus has not occurred evenly around the country. Urban areas, such as New York City, have been harder than rural locales and that difference in impacts follows some of the deep partisan political splits in the […]
By David Roberts Vox The US is a land divided. Americans have sorted themselves into opposing factions, with different values, sources of authority, and shared understandings. In some ways, there is no longer any meaningful US “public,” but rather two publics that want and believe different things. The […]
By Jess Bidgood Boston Globe It was Saturday night on a main street in the South, but locals described something odd: One side of the street was almost normal, if quiet, with restaurants serving dinner and groups of young people milling around. The other side of the street […]
Contra Kyle, Rush is not wrong to say that we should question medical and scientific authorities. Historically, there are plenty of examples of the medical and scientific establishment being not only wrong but complicit in systems of tyrannical political authority (e.g., eugenics, Lysenkoism, the “racial hygiene” policies of […]
Tucker Carlson’s program tonight has a lot of interesting information. Melissa Francis inadvertently describes the correct solution to the present economic crisis, i.e. a complete holiday on payments for everyone. Bring on the gift economy!
It’s interesting how these parody sites like the Hard Times, the Onion, and the Babylon Bee are now the most honest and accurate forms of journalism. By Zach Russell The Hard Times WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a concerning report this morning, finding that 78% […]
With all due respect to organized crime.
Actually, George was a lot more authoritarian than his historic reputation.
Glad to see Glenn has a new show.
Crises always bring out the nuts.
By David Brennan Newsweek Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has warned that anyone breaking the coronavirus lockdown on the island of Luzon may be shot by the military or the police, as the country fights to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. The controversial president — who has […]
With apologies and respect to Captain Pike.
Because he doesn’t recognize who the real enemy is.
Guinan needs to stick to bartending. It’s rather remarkable that a lame FDR liberal like Bernie is considered too much for the professional celebrities/neoliberal puppets at The View. That Bernie endorsed Hillary in 2016 (as opposed to, say, Jill Stein) is a blight on his record, not a […]
Ideally, a serious anarchist movement in North America, as I have long argued, would be a “revolutionary left” that regards neoliberals as “the main enemy,” and “attacks the Left from the left,” by pointing out the historic treachery of the Marxists (First International, Kronstadt, Barcelona, etc), the historically […]
Yes. Since 2016, I have maintained that the real reason Trump won the election was that, rhetorically, he was the most “left-wing” (anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-power elite) of the two candidates, even if he is personally just a carnival barker and has governed largely as a conventional Republican since […]
The lumpenproletariat assumes a leadership position.
“Anyone who watched the video I posted three days ago, The Great Depression, will have seen firm documentary evidence pointing to a controlled demolition of the global economy. As a result of the fact that an increasing number of people are beginning to take these claims seriously, the […]
“Many people assume that the present crisis – engineered, as it is – will be followed by a more totalitarian system, but we should never lose sight of the fact that ‘liberal democracy’ is already a form of totalitarianism and the only difference between a system in which […]
Welcome to the worldwide police state, folks. Covid-19 has brought about what no amount of socialism or fascism could achieve, and we are doing it to ourselves. Britain, America, Australia, Israel and many other countries are implementing draconian measures to #quarantine people in their homes, and Hungary appears […]
That’s what happened with the Spanish flu in 1918. It started out early in the year, subsided a bit, and then came back with a vengeance in the fall.
Pushback with Aaron Maté The coronavirus pandemic has left millions of US workers without a job and the healthcare that comes with it. Economist Pavlina Tcherneva discusses how the Congressional bailout prioritizes corporate profits instead of building on the successful legacy of the New Deal. Guest: Pavlina Tcherneva, […]
The anarchist economic ideal of decentralized systems of cooperative production for local use is starting to seem like a pretty good idea.
Jeff Bezos is the John D. Rockefeller of the 21st century, and Amazon is the new Standard Oil.
Our lame-ass “progressive” politicians and media commentators need to be pushing rent strikes, debt strikes, labor strikes, prisoner releases, etc. etc. etc. Jimmie Dore seems to be one of the few that has stepped up to the plate so far. By Rachel Martin Forbes Topline: As millions of […]
By Nick Martin The New Republic I left college $25,000 in debt, a fact I’m reminded of every month when an email from Great Lakes Borrowers Services informs me that “Your Automatic Payment Will Be Made Soon.” But relative to most American graduates, I got off easy: The […]
By Randi Nord Geopolitics Alert Sana’a (GPA) – The Saudi coalition continues weaponizing disease in Yemen — this time capitalizing on the novel coronavirus — in a disturbing and barbaric fashion. Saudi planes have air dropped suspicious face masks and other supplies potentially contaminated with COVID-19 into some […]
AOC embraces Megan McCain. Will she follow the standard social democrat to neocon trajectory?
By Eric Reed The Street While some are able to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic, other people simply don’t have jobs that allow for that. Many people are in industries that are still working. However, the economic impact of the pandemic has wreaked havoc on many […]

We’re a majority now, but we need to get our numbers up further. By Julia Conley Common Dreams New polling out Wednesday backdropped by the continuing coronavirus outbreak shows that most of the country believes the U.S. political system works only for the wealthy and elite rather than […]
Medical martial law, a ruling class looting spree, and escalating threats against Iran. The System is on the prowl. By Andrea Germanos Common Dreams As the coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on world economies, claims tens of thousands of lives, and cripples healthcare systems worldwide, President Donald Trump took […]
By Alejandro de la Garza Time With a deadly coronavirus epidemic creeping northward and the nearest hospital 230 miles away, Galen Gilbert, First Chief of Arctic Village, Alaska, knew his 200-person town could not afford to take any chances. A single case of COVID-19 could lead to the […]

“Let my people go.” -Moses By Barbara Bradley Hagerty The Atlantic While millions of Americans shelter in place, one group simply cannot escape the coronavirus: prisoners.

It’s fascinating to see an article like this in the Voice of the Deep State. By Renae Merle, Heather Long and Patricia Sullivan Washington Post After losing his job as a restaurant cook last month, Casey James began contacting his Atlanta neighbors with an idea: No one should […]
The same pattern the US Left has followed since the 1970s. A relevant observation from the comments section: “I never drank the AOC kool aid. 90% of the interest in her derives from the fact that she’s a young woman of color and she’s from NYC, which we’re […]
