Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 4 hours ago
The US is at a moment of truth. This week, Congress has to face up to a pandemic that is out of control and an economy that is collapsing.

Our actions need to be about building a people's movement that grows in power before and after the November elections. No matter who is elected, the people will need to resist, create new systems and rule from below. The post COVID-19 Crisis Failure, People Must Save Themselves And The Economy appeared first o...

*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC127FE1E430&share=true] Moscow was scary, but Washington could handle the threat without going crazy. *Key Point: *The military's fearmongering projections of Soviet power and technology were often just that--fearmongering. Yet these reports now serve as fascinating historical artifacts from the era of paranoia and massive spending that was the 1980s.

*Akhilesh Pillalamarri* *Politics, Europe* More than Waterloo. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Had Napoleon attacked Wellington’s British forces earlier and finished them off—which was possible due to his initially superior numbers—he could have faced off against the smaller Prussian force and defeated them separately or used a British defeat to maneuver politically.

June 18 marks the bicentenary of Napoleon Bonaparte’s great defe...

As luck (for certain values of “luck”) would have it, this means I’m building a 100-200 person course from scratch and teaching it online.
