No More Excuses: Cecil Boutilier is trying to right his troubled past despite COVID and an overbearing parole system
A 40-year-old man recently went on a hunger strike recently at a Dartmouth halfway house, just days before he tested positive for COVID-19.

Washington’s Election Misinformation Bill Demonstrates Dangers of Compromising First Amendment Values
Governor Jay Inslee at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, Iowa. (Gage Skidmore, https://flic.kr/p/2h4sWPi; CC BY-SA 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/) Exactly one year after the Jan. 6 violence at the Capitol, Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced his support for a bill that his office said “would outlaw attempts by candidates and elected officials to spread lies about free and fair elections when it has the likelihood to stoke violence.” That bill would make such lies a gross misdemeanor, subject to up to 364 days in jail.

US And UK Escalate Russia War Fever, But NATO Splits Over Ukraine Emerge
The US and UK are ramping up threats to Russia over Ukraine by sending more weapons, vowing more sanctions, and lodging evidence-free claims of a Russian plot to install a pro-Kremlin leader. But comments by Germany's navy chief that Russia "deserves respect" -- leading to his resignation -- underscore that not everyone is on board with Washington and London's war fever. Scholar and author Richard Sakwa discusses the latest in the Ukraine crisis.

NATO As Religion
The US/NATO/Ukraine/Russia controversy is not entirely new. We already saw the potential of serious trouble in 2014 when the US and European states interfered in the internal affairs of Ukraine and covertly/overtly colluded in the coup d’état against the democratically elected President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, because he was not playing the game assigned to him by the West. Of course, our media hailed the putsch as a “color revolution” with all the trappings of democracy. The post NATO As Religion appeared first on PopularResistance.Org. read more

Assange Hearing Day
it is customary that the High Court refuses leave to appeal; with the certification of public interest, Julian can now appeal direct to the Supreme Court which will decide whether or not to take the case. The refusal of leave by the High Court is purely a show of deference to the Supreme Court, which decides itself what it will take. The lawyers put this as “the Supreme Court dines a la carte”. Now some of the appeal points which the High Court refused to certify as arguable and of general public interest, were important.

The idea of a “just transition” has emerged as an absolute requirement for any progress toward a clean energy future.

Further, there is a vague law on the books which denotes that Virginia schools are supposed to follow CDC guidelines as closely as possible.

Blacks begin to abandon Biden
*Mike Miller:* *Black Voters Throwing Biden Under the Bus in Increasing Numbers* I suspect this is the reason why Democrats have become more hysterical in their bogus claims of racism in recent months.

What does Warren Buffett have against black babies?
Even if you are pro-choice, you should be asking this question. Since 2000 he has funneled an incredible $4.7 billion to abortion providers as well as the vast array of activist, lobbying, and research groups insulating them in Washington. He uses a "philanthropic" foundation named for his deceased wife, but supports many such "do-gooders." We don't know the exact count but legal abortions he funded number around 4 million, but even before 1973, he was "helping" women get abortions.
