Deaths still rising, Trump still nuts!
*FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2020Thoroughly baffled by Krugman:* We're thoroughly baffled by the basic framework of Paul Krugman's new column. First, though, an apparent mistake. In passing, Krugman says this about the pandemic: "National death totals are still declining..." We're afraid that's no longer true. As of this morning, the nationwide 7-day average has bumped up again. As of this morning, we're averaging 576.7 deaths per day nationwide (July 3-July 9). We'd already dropped below that point as of June 23 (571.9, June 16-June 22). The number continued to drop after that, inching d... more »

Beware Of Right Deviations That Have Emerged From The Crisis Of US Imperialism
The events of the last three-plus months have exposed another political trend to be wary of. COVID-19’s devastating impact on the United States coupled with an economic collapse and a mass uprising against racist policing has activated a long-standing political tendency within the imperialist world: libertarianism. Libertarianism is often viewed as an anti-government, pro-capitalist ideology that worships the free market doctrine of Adam Smith. However, such a definition does not consider the racist context of the United States. Libertarianism, like all capitalist ideologies, is b... more »
Trump Threatens To Cut Funding For Schools That Don’t Reopen

Pelosi fine with mob rule: throwing Columbus into the river edition
In the city where she grew up, Baltimore, some fascists threw a statue of Columbus into a river. They're fascists because they're saying that they can unilaterally decide what statues are allowed.
