A History Of Mutual Aid Has Prepared POC For This Moment
Southern Solidarity has gone from 24 daily meal distributions to 250. “We’re doing this because capitalism is making survival impossible,” Araujo says. She plans to meet with researchers and academics to develop a guidebook on how to create a mutual aid project during a pandemic but, in the meantime, she has advice for those of us interested in lending a hand: “Assess and observe,” she says. “Do not mimic colonizer actions. Connect to existing institutions. And, most of all, insert your radical imagination.” The post A History Of Mutual Aid Has Prepared POC For This Moment appeare... more »

Frontline Healthcare Workers Are Becoming Socialists
As the current Covid-19 pandemic spread throughout the country, healthcare workers again witnessed how the for-profit healthcare system, along with the capitalist economic system, was unable to respond. Frontline workers, already putting their lives at risk, were being more exposed due to lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other supplies that should never be in shortage, especially in a country that allows an individual with a net worth of over $100 billion to exist. Hospitals, already short-staffed due to years of “cost-saving” measures, were near collapse from the in... more »
A Note From The Ministry Of Staple Guns
Rent strike organizing will not become widespread just because people are desperate. These material circumstances need to be joined by the understanding that another world is possible.

Why China Is Not The Aggressor
To reverse the Pentagon’s reckless drive towards potentially catastrophic confrontation, people in this country need to be aware of the true nature of relations between the United States and China. In fact, it is the United States that is engaged in a comprehensive push to encircle and isolate China using military, economic and political aggression. The result of this atmosphere of non-stop hostility has been a marked increase in instances of discrimination and racist violence towards Chinese-Americans and other Asian communities within the United States.

The Case For Degrowth In A Time Of Pandemic
To be more resilient to crises – pandemic, climatic, financial, or political – we need to build systems capable of scaling back production in ways that do not cause loss of livelihood or life. We need degrowth. But what is happening during the pandemic is not degrowth. Degrowth is a project of living meaningfully, enjoying simple pleasures, commoning, sharing and relating more with others, and working less, in more equal societies. The goal of degrowth is to purposefully slow things down in order to minimize harm to humans and earth systems and to reduce exploitation. The time is... more »

Australian veterinary clinic rescues a rare golden possum
At some point in our lives, we all were told that fairies don’t exist and cartoons aren’t real. Fast forward to today—we have proof they all were wrong. The most adorable baby possum was found in Australia and upon further investigation, the internet is convinced he’s a Pikachu. With no disguise. A rescuer in Melbourne brought the orphan possum to the Boronia Veterinary Clinic, where she lit up the room with her bright yellow fur. It turns out, the golden color occurs due to a mutation that causes a low level of the pigment melanin, which gives them their normal color. Or there’s a... more »

Power Freaks Losing Control As Public Laughs At Coronavirus Lockdowns

This Machine Gun Was Supposed to Retire Before World War II—But Didn’t
*Caleb Larson* *History, Americas* Thanks to the American-designed Lewis gun’s good portability and large capacity, it served the Brits in both World Wars. The Lewis gun’s invention is credited to Isaac Newton Lewis, who designed and built his machine gun before the First World War. At the time, Lewis was an officer in the U.S. Army. Despite his proximity to the military, his machine gun design was not approved for service with the United States, possibly thanks to a bad relationship with his superiors. In part due to his design’s rejection, Lewis relocated production to Europe.... more »
When U-2 Spy Planes Landed on an Aircraft Carrier
*Caleb Larson* *History, Americas* [image: Image: Reuters] In the 1960s, the CIA modified two U-2s to land on aircraft carriers—and they were used to spy on France. The venerable U-2 spy plane is an old bird. The first U-2s entered service with the United States in 1955 and are still flown today, due to extensive modifications. The large spy planes are easily recognizable thanks to their pencil-like fuselage and delicate looking wings. They are notoriously difficult to land even in favorable conditions—it would be hard to design an airframe less optimized for aircraft carrier lan... more »

The man who put the hole in the donut
I was intrigued to learn the history behind the hole in the donut. Captain Gregory, 85, lived at the Sailor’s Snug Harbor in Quincy, Mass.

He told the reporter he discovered the donut hole when he worked as a 16-year-old crewman on a lime-trading schooner. “Now in them days we used to cut the doughnuts into diamond shapes, and also into long strips, bent in half, and then twisted,” he said. “I don’t think we called them donuts then–they was just ‘fri... more »
