The FDA Has Approved Three Novel Types of GMO Potatoes — Here’s What You Must Know to Avoid Them

And because they’re not labeled, few people even know if they’ve been eating them or not (despite the fact that they are available in relatively small quantities, they are still potentially lur... read more

Mr Munro is apparently a serious contender to replace Fran Unsworth in the the BBC's top news job. You may remember him for: [a] His role in the Cliff Richard affair, where the judge described him as “overly guarded” in his defence of the BBC. And the judge further accused him of “almost wilfully failing to acknowledge inconsistencies” and of “refusing to acknowledge the plain effect of some of the emails in the case”.

Shining Light On The Dark Age Of The Tulalip Boarding School

From 1857 to 1932, hundreds of Native youth from across the state and as far as Alaska were taken to the Tulalip Boarding School. There, they were beaten for speaking their Native languages. They began industrial jobs as elementary age students. They didn’t get to see their parents for ten months of the year, and many of them never came home. The school closed in 1932, and for many families, the wounds are fresh. The post Shining Light On The Dark Age Of The Tulalip Boarding School appeared first on PopularResistance.Org. read more

“The Industrial Revolution in England was financed by the profits from Liverpool slave traders.” ~ Dr. Eric Williams in his 1944 book *Capitalism and Slavery*. Williams led Trinidad to independence from Britain in 1962, and became the country’s first prime minister, serving till his death in 1981. I believe that Williams is right.
