No, Twitter is not Censoring Donald Trump
Katharine Gelber, The National Interest - 7 minutes ago
*Katharine Gelber* *Politics, * There is no free speech argument in existence that suggests an incitement of lawlessness and violence is protected speech. The recent storming of the US Capitol has led a number of social media platforms to remove President Donald Trump’s account. In the case of Twitter, the ban is permanent. Others, like Facebook, have taken him offline until after President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration next week. This has led to a flurry of commentary in the Australian media about “free speech”. Treasurer Josh Frydenburg has said he is “uncomfortable” with Twi...
Scotland is Ready for May Elections, Irrespective of the Pandemic
Alistair Clark, Toby James, The National Interest - 7 minutes ago
*Alistair Clark, Toby James* *Politics, Europe* Electoral administrators and policymakers have been planning in depth for COVID-19 mitigations for May’s elections since at least mid-2020. Important Scottish parliament elections are scheduled for May 2021 and the expectation is that the Scottish National Party will emerge as the biggest party, potentially even with enough votes to form a majority government, after ruling as a minority since 2016. However, it has been argued by former first minister Henry McLeish, among others that these elections, should be postponed because of th...
Does Reopening Schools Spread COVID-19? It's Complicated
Scott A Imberman, Dan Goldhaber, Katharine O. Strunk, The National Interest - 7 minutes ago
*Scott A Imberman, Dan Goldhaber, Katharine O. Strunk* *Coronavirus, The Americas* Coronavirus very likely does transmit in schools to some degree. But the spread of COVID-19 there may simply reflect what’s going on in the surrounding community. The big idea: We found that schools can reopen for in-person instruction without further spreading COVID-19 in nearby communities if the number of people with the disease is relatively low. But if there are more than 21 cases per 100,000 people, COVID-19 spread may increase. To reach this conclusion, we used data from September through De...
How the Civil War Divided Virginia
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 7 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* George B. McClellan forced the Confederates in northwestern Virginia to retreat into the Alleghenies in 1861. It fell to Robert E. Lee to stabilize the situation. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Over the course of the four-year war, the western counties of Virginia sent approximately 25,000 men to fight for the Union and approximately 15,000 to the Confederacy. The blue-coated soldiers trudged uphill through the forest trying their best not to get snagged on the laurel branches or stumble over the tree roots. At the head of the colum...

This Is The Biggest Environmental Problem You’ve Never Heard Of. And It’s A HUGE Part Of Your Life
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 3 hours ago
Plastic pollution has had a devastating effect on the environment with its sources ranging from plastic containers to various products we used every day like toothbrushes and glasses. However, there is one source of plastic pollution that is not often discussed. Clothes, synthetic clothes that are made from toxic plastic particles that end up in the water while doing laundry. “The clothing industry is the second largest polluter in the world, second only to oil,” “It’s a really nasty business.

On January 20, Joseph Biden will become the next U.S. President. Two days later, on January 22, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will become binding international law. The Biden administration should seize the opportunity to sign this landmark treaty and work toward its ratification, while productively engaging with the new legal regime created by the treaty. With the TPNW, nuclear weapons will be subject to a global ban treaty for the first time, at last aligning nuclear weapons with other weapons of mass destruction, all already the subject of treaty-base...
Homeless Encampment Evictions Highlight The Cruelty Of Capitalism
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
In Canada’s homeless encampments, two faces of state brutality are on display. One is the “organized abandonment” that has relegated hundreds of thousands across Canada to homelessness (at twice the rate as in the United States). The other is the “organized violence” that evicts homeless people from encampments erected in the shadow of the state’s malign neglect. In Toronto, Canada’s largest and most unequal city, frontline workers estimate there are currently 1,000 to 2,000 people sleeping in dozens of encampments outdoors — several times more than the 400 acknowledged by city of...
Enabling A Fascist Putsch And Empowering A Big Lie
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
January 6, like December 7 eighty years earlier, will forever live in history as a day of infamy. Yet unlike the foreign military attack on the US base in Pearl Harbor in 1941, the domestic terrorist attack upon the US Capitol in 2021 enjoyed the objective support of nearly one-third of the US Congress and vast sections of the US population. “Stop the Steal”, the rallying cry of the violent mob which invaded and ransacked the US Capitol was officially echoed by 147 members of Congress, all Republicans, later on that infamous day and trumpeted loudly throughout the land for months b...
Nine Reasons Why There Was No People’s Rebellion Against A Fascist President
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
Last Friday’s New York Times included Paul Krugman’s elementarily accurate editorial observation that “Donald Trump…is indeed a fascist – an authoritarian willing to use violence to achieve his racial nationalist goals. So are many of his supporters. If you had any doubts,” Krugman rightly argued, the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol (by a frenzied mob of fascists directly instigated by Donald Trump and his Big fascist Lie that the 2020 election was stolen!) “should have ended them.” Some of us lost our doubts about that long ago. In May of 2016, the liberal New Yorker comme...
CAAT's CEO on Moving From Pension Envy to Pension Solutions

Derek W. Dobson, CEO of CAAT Pension Plan, wrote a guest comment for my blog on moving from pension envy to pension solutions: Many Canadians haven’t saved nearly enough for retirement. Those without any workplace saving program have a median savings of just $3,000. Such meager savings would not last the average retiree more than a year.

Transatlantic Awakening: Why Europe and China are Creating a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment
Valbona Zeneli, Joseph Vann, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Valbona Zeneli, Joseph Vann* *Security, Eurasia* If ratified, then the CAI will be a de facto recognition that it is acceptable to conduct a wide range of business activity with a totalitarian communist government that has proven itself capable of violating human rights with exacting precision and no apology. After seven years of negotiations and thirty-five rounds of talks, you might say that the new EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) looks to be the best gift the EU could give to China or more accurately speaking the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

To many Republicans, the answer is simple: Pretend it never happened. “We’re about to see a whole political party do a large-scale version of ‘New phone, who dis?’” says Sarah Isgur, a former top spokesperson for the Trump Justice Department. “It will be like that boyfriend you should never have dated—the mistake that shall not be mentioned.” ... the narrative now forming in some GOP circles ...

It seems like nearly every day another hopeful article touts the potential of using hydrogen as a fuel to tackle climate change. What’s known as “green hydrogen” — which relies on renewable power for production — is getting the bulk of that attention. In December, ABC News ran an article with the headline “Why green hydrogen is the renewable energy source to watch in 2021.” And as Bloomberg has reported, Airbus is betting big on hydrogen as a fuel for its planes. Meanwhile, South Korea’s SK Global just announced an investment in U.S. hydrogen fuel cell producer Plug Power; in the ...

Many Overheated Forests May Soon Release More Carbon Than They Absorb
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
The last decades have been filled with dire warning signs from forests. Global warming has contributed to thinning canopies in European forests and to sudden die-offs of aspen trees in Colorado, as well as insect outbreaks that are killing trees around the world. In many places, forests are not growing back. New research shows that Earth’s overheated climate will alter forests at a global scale even more fundamentally, by flipping a critical greenhouse gas switch in the next few decades. The study suggests that, by 2040, forests will take up only half as much carbon dioxide from t...
