This Is The Army's Best Chance Of Stopping A Chinese Missile Barrage
*Michael Peck* *Security, * It won't be easy. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *One possibility is a dual outer and inner defensive ring. The outer ring would consist of satellites and drones equipped with sensors. The inner layer would be similar, with the addition of drones and ground batteries armed with high-energy lasers, land-based high power microwave weapons whose beams would fry missile electronics, and even Army howitzers firing high velocity projectiles (HVP). *More From The National Interest: * *Yes, America Has a ‘Ninja’ Missile * *How China Could Sink a U.S. ... more »

Fact: Remote Work is Increasing Costs for Employees and Not Empoyers
*Richard Shearmur* *Society, * COVID-19 has required many employees to work from home and set up home offices, incurring costs and bringing their employer into their private space. As many office workers adapt to remote work, cities may undergo fundamental change if offices remain under-utilized. Who will benefit if working from home becomes the post-pandemic norm? Employers argue they make considerable savings on real estate when workers shift from office to home work. However, these savings result from passing costs on to workers. Unless employees are fully compensated, this ... more »

The Justice Department’s Thoughtful Proposals for Section 230 Reform
Attorney General Barr speaks at the launch of Voluntary Principles to Counter Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, March 5, 2020. (Justice Department/https://www.justice.gov/entity-popup/file/1256336/Public Domain) Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act seems to inspire bipartisan antipathy. Former Vice President Joe Biden said it “should be revoked, immediately,” and President Trump characteristically topped that by tweeting “REVOKE 230!” They’re both right, at least directionally.

Building Power To Win Is The Revolutionary Approach To Bourgeois Electoralism
The great African revolutionary, Amilcar Cabral, reminded us that without revolutionary theory there can be no revolution. His reminder was not a call for abstract theorizing, quite the contrary. What he meant was that one cannot advance in practice unless that practice is guided by the most advanced understanding of the material and ideological conditions that revolutionary forces face. Over the next two days we will ground ourselves in our particular realities as they relate to our strategic and tactical engagement with bourgeois electoral system in the United States.

The Gilets Jaunes And The Invention Of The Future
The revolt of the Gilets Jaunes has been interpreted and analyzed many times in many, sometimes completely opposing, ways. It has been largely viewed, by the right, especially, and most of the dominant media, as a quasi-fascist movement, a form of uncontrollable collective delinquency, in a word: a threat to democracy and existing institutions. But even among those who were generally sympathetic to social movements, including many activists on the left, reservations about completely new forms of political action and wariness about individuals who do not quite fit in politically ha... more »
How Our Bloated Military Strengthens The Police State
Nationwide uprisings over the police killing of George Floyd have forced a long overdue discussion about the injustices of U.S. policing—an institution that has consistently harassed and terrorized and, in the words of organizer, writer and educator Mariame Kaba, remains a consistent “force of violence against Black people.” As demands to abolish the police are thrust into mainstream discourse, promising—if uncertain and mixed—political changes are being debated and implemented every day. We are seeing a rigorous interrogation of the systems that uphold and compound the brutality ... more »
Abolishing The Police: A Radical Idea That’s Been around For Over A Century
In 1905, Pennsylvania did something unprecedented: It founded America’s first state police force. The new institution, which was more highly militarized than previous law enforcement systems, was created for one reason: The state government wanted a more organized and efficient way to break strikes. The new force approached that mission with zeal — and violence. In 1909, members of the Pennsylvania State Police killed several strikers during the Pressed Steel Car Strike, a strike by workers who built railroad cars; after a crowd broke one state trooper’s leg, police were given ord... more »
Solidarity Means Dismantling The System Everywhere
A new solidarity movement is rising. From Los Angeles to Sao Paulo, Minneapolis to London, “Black Lives Matter” is a cry and a demand heard around the world. The message of this movement is powerfully simple: stop killing black people — in their homes, on the streets, and traveling across the sea to safer shores. Yet in its simplicity, it contains the seed of a radical transformation in our planetary system, raging against a machine of racist dispossession to make room for collective and communal liberation everywhere. The last decade has witnessed a sharp turn in two terrifying d... more »

NYPD Cops Encouraged To ‘Strike’ On July 4
A labor strike is brewing in the NYPD. A pair of flyers making the rounds among NYPD officers are encouraging them to call out sick July 4 — as retribution for police reform and a perceived anti-cop climate following the outrage over high-profile police killings of unarmed black men across the country, multiple cops told The Post. One message calls for the strike to kick off at 3 p.m. July 4. “NYPD cops will strike on July 4th to let the city have their independence without cops,” the message, which is being passed among cops via text, according to sources. “Cops that say we can’... more »
