New Legal Filing In Mumia’s CaseThe new evidence contained in the boxes is damning, and we need to expose it. It reveals a pattern of misconduct and abuse of authority by the prosecution, including bribery of the state’s two key witnesses, as well as racist exclusion in jury selection — a violation of the landmark Supreme Court decision Batson v. Kentucky. The remedy for each or any of the claims in the petition is a new trial. The court may order a hearing on factual issues raised in the claims. If so, we won’t know for at least a month.

Veterans’ Health Care For Mental And Environmental Illnesses Under AttackIn recent years, both Republicans and Democrats in Congress have backed privatization of services provided by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).

Since 2015, billions of dollars have been diverted from VHA care to private doctors and for-profit hospitals who treat veterans in costlier and less effective fashion. This cannibalization of the VHA budget began under President Obama, escalated during the Trump era, and... read more

Balance by Carol SvecI recently "graduated" from my balance physical therapy, and then saw this book, so I've put it on hold from the library. "Balance: A Dizzying Journey Through the Science of Our Most Delicate Sense." by Carol Svec Some low-frequency sounds—such as noise from storms or truck engines—can make you feel dizzy and nauseated. An index finger’s light touch can stop people from losing balance. You are more prone to trip when you think someone is watching you. A breakthrough in improving balance as we age might just come through the study of the Achilles tendon. A person gets “falling down... read more

I'm all for mocking presumptuous pundits of either the tin-foil hat or mainstream variety, but that's not quite what I've been saying for 13 long, tedious years. What I've been saying is that living on junk food and sugar-cocaine speedballs isn't "health" just because a handful of pills has dropped cholesterol readings to "healthy" levels.

Capitalist Realism and Pandemic Realism
Excellent piece from Daniel Sarah Karasik in new(ish) Canadian Magazine, *Midnight Sun*. Some comrades who are indifferent about the spread of Covid would do well to reflect on their piece. Here's the conclusion to Daniel's article: The cultural theorist Mark Fisher coined the term “capitalist realism” for the feeling that there’s no imaginable alternative to the murderous political-economic system that shapes our lives. Today we’re drowning in a COVID-era version of the same ideological bog. Call it pandemic realism: the way capital and the state have convinced so many of us that t... read more

Despite Signs of Trouble, Social Security Reform Still Isn't a Pressing Issue*Stephen Silver* *Social Security, United States* There may be some reasons to be optimistic about the future of Social Security, but Congress and the White House have avoided the issue.

A survey taken last July by Nationwide found that 71 percent of Americans are worried that the program will run out in their lifetime. Those fears got some new ammunition last fall, when the Social Security Trustees report revealed that Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will... read more
