The new president-elect of Bolivia, Luis Arce, has told the Spanish international news agency EFE that he intends to restore the nation's relations with Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. This reverses the policies of the US-backed coup regime which immediately began closing embassies, kicking out doctors and severing relations with those nations after illegally seizing power last year. Arce also spoke of warm relations with Russia and China. “We are going to reestablish all relations," he told EFE. "This government has acted very ideologically, depriving the Bolivian people of access to ...
A Debt Reckoning Is Unavoidable
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
The late anthropologist David Graeber, who wrote about the 5,000-year history of debt, spoke about a strange paradox of being indebted. “The first effect of debt is to create isolation, shame, humiliation, a fear of even talking about it. On the other hand, if you look at history, the vast majority of revolts and insurrections are about debt. So in a sense it’s incredibly effective, ideologically, at isolating people. But once people overcome that isolation, the results are always explosive.” We may be heading towards such a moment. The post A Debt Reckoning Is Unavoidable appeare...

Media Responds With Apathy, Disappointment As Coup Government Concedes Defeat
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
Bolivia’s Movement to Socialism (MAS) party is celebrating what appears to be a crushing, landslide victory in Sunday’s elections. Although official vote counting is far from over, exit polls show an overwhelming triumph for the socialists, and a repudiation of the right-wing military government of Jeanine Añez, who has ruled since the coup last November. At the same time, the corporate press appears less than pleased about the return to democracy for the Andean country. In order to win outright in the first round, the top candidate needs at least 40 percent of the popular vote an...

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, announcing last month that no police officers would be charged with homicide for killing Breonna Taylor, claimed members of a grand jury agreed with him in finding that cops "were justified" in opening fire.

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia Pacific* The Battle of Beiping-Tianjin, which occurred from early July to early August 1937, was the first major campaign of the Second Sino-Japanese War; it also may be considered the first battle of World War II. Although it has great symbolic meaning, little information about this battle is available in English. Most people think that World War II broke out on September 1, 1939, when the Wehrmacht crossed the German-Polish border. What many people do not know is that the Second Sino-Japanese War—an important part of World War II often...

Eric Segall Thanks, Jack for engaging with these two questions. I'm going to limit my response to the first one. My argument is that the original meaning and understanding of the judicial power in Article III was encapsulated in Alexander Hamilton's Federalist No. 78 in which he said judges would only overturn laws when they were at an "irreconcilable variance" with the Constitution. This deferential standard was well-accepted at the time as the work of many historians shows.
