DeSantis leads Trump in new 2024 poll
National Review: A new poll from YouGov provides further evidence for one of the most important narratives to emerge from the midterms: Florida governor Ron DeSantis is the frontrunner to top the GOP’s ticket in 2024. According to the survey of 413 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, 42 percent want DeSantis to be the party’s nominee two years from now, while 35 percent would prefer former president Donald Trump. It was conducted in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s disappointing returns for the GOP. ... This is not too surprising. DeSantis had a great election ... read more

Putin's Kherson Humiliation
Seeing Ukrainians enthusiastically welcoming soldiers on the streets of Kherson would move all but the stoniest, politically blinkered hearts. The Russian withdrawal from Kherson region - long planned but rapidly executed - is testament to the resilience. skill, and sacrifices of the Ukrainian military.

The Eagle lies in the equatorial constellation Serpens. If you went out tonight and looked at this part of the sky – more or less midway between Arcturus and Antares – you might see nothing at all.

The World Economic Forum and the Transition to a Sharing Economy

For African/Black Working Class And Colonized Peoples, Midterm Elections Offer No Relief
The agenda was set with the Lewis Powell Memorandum in 1971. Written at the request of the United States Chamber of Commerce, probably the most influential structure of capitalist rule at the time, the concern for the Chamber was the need to find a more coherent counter-offensive to the attacks against the system over the previous years. At the center of the anti-system attacks during the 1960s was, of course, the Black Liberation Movement and the Anti-War movement. Powell made the argument that the capitalist class had to recognize that their very survival was at stake and that m... read more
