*Stephen Noerper* *Security, Asia* Ultimately, there need be a Korean solution to the Korean divide, but the international community can cooperate and coordinate to the Peninsula’s benefit. By doing so, the international community would help mend the tragic rifts of the twentieth century, would help lay division to rest, and would meaningfully contribute to a more stable and prosperous Korean Peninsula by the year 2025. *Editor's Note:* As the world commemorates the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean War, the Center for the National Interest’s Korean Studies team decide...

Rebuilding After Recession: A Plan For Jobs
Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 8 hours ago
Government investment in green technology and infrastructure is needed to create thousands of jobs and prevent a recession. Working with unions and employers, the government has put in place the Job Retention Scheme and self-employed income support schemes, protecting the jobs and incomes of millions of workers during the coronavirus crisis. But more is needed, and fast. Without further bold action from the government, we risk huge losses of jobs and livelihoods and possibly the deepest recession since the 1930s. The OECD estimates that unemployment could hit 11 per cent this year....

Thousands of Chicagoans have rallied in the past couple weeks behind the demand that Chicago Public Schools end its relationship with the police department. But a small group of advocates have been working on this issue for years, and they’ve won significant progress in recent months.

A new Chicago Police Department policy implemented last August removed so-called school resource officers from involvement in day-to-day disciplinary matters. It requir...

Homeless Philadelphians Moving Into Vacant City-Owned Homes

Philadelphia, PA – Housing advocates plan to reveal today that they’ve facilitated moving previously-unhoused city residents into “vacant, viable” homes in North Philly owned by the Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA). According to those who are helping families move in, a large number of usable residences are being intentionally left vacant by the PHA so that they can be sold to developers. The process of finding empty PHA-owned homes, fixing them up, and helping to move people in is a collaboration between ‘Occupy PHA’ and the Revolutionary Workers Collective. The ‘move-in’ pr...

Did the Viking Age begin 2,000 years earlier than we thought?
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 10 hours ago
The BBC has a very interesting in-depth look at new archaeological and other discoveries, suggesting the existence of what it calls a "first Viking Age" starting about 3,000 years ago in Norway. People who lived in Norway 3000 years ago were far less primitive than many have imagined. They were not hunters who still lived a Stone Age kind of life. The ships built by Norwegians, Swedes and Danes during the Bronze Age may have had a crew of over 50 men. People from Scandinavia went to England in ships like these. They probably made their way down the great rivers in Europe. They ma...
