Amazingly, Buzzfeed Readers Don’t Realize They Did This to Themselves
* One of my roles here at Manhattan Contrarian is acting as the cultural correspondent and translator, giving some insight into the views and beliefs of the millennial generation and younger. * Unfortunately, it gets harder every day to present those views as rational when they’re so often based on magical thinking. * For example, the same people who have been haranguing us for years for not doing enough to end our dependence on fossil fuels – the same ones who cheered the shutdown of the Keystone Pipeline – now can’t believe the prices they must pay for gas.

82% Pregnant Women Getting COVID Vaccine have Miscarriages – More than the Abortion Pill
In January of 2021, the New England Journal of Medicine came out with an article that stated that pregnant women who got the shot did not have a higher rate of spontaneous miscarriage. However, when you look at the data, they lumped women in their third trimester into the first-trimester group and assessed whether or not they had a first-trimester spontaneous miscarriage. When you take that cohort out, the rate of miscarriage was 82%, right in line with findings from the Pfizer documents.

Tens Of Thousands Demand Action At Rally On Eve Of UK Rail Strikes
The protest held on the eve of ahead of this week’s national rail strikes by 50,000 rail workers on June 21, 23 and 25. Seeking to maintain control of an emerging strike wave, the union bureaucracy pulled out all the stops. Even so, while the demo was somewhat larger than the annual TUC protests in recent years, it was much smaller than that held in 2011 of around 200,000, called after the Conservative government came to power and first launched a savage austerity offensive.

Juneteenth Is About Black Liberation — Not Union Busting
For corporations, June has long been a time to adopt a facade of progressiveness while profiting from performing inclusivity of LGBTQ+ people. But in the past two years, a new occasion has fallen prey to this co-optation: Juneteenth. June 19 — or Juneteenth — commemorates the day that the final enslaved people in the U.S. were emancipated. On this day in 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, a union general announced in Galveston, Texas that “in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” At the time, 250,... read more
The AFL-CIO’s Official New Goal: Continued Decline
The single best measurement of the strength of labor unions is union density — the percentage of the total workforce that is unionized. Nothing makes the crushing decline of unions in America more intelligible than the fact that at their height in the mid-20th century, one in three workers was a union member, and today, scarcely one in 10 is. All of the downstream damages to the working class — lower relative wages, higher economic inequality, less political power — flow from this decline. We know, therefore, that increasing union density is the labor movement’s most pressing task... read more
Congress Lets School Lunch Program Expire As It Increases Military Budget
Rebecca Wood didn’t realize she was food insecure until she wasn’t anymore. She credits the U.S. Department of Agriculture for that. Since March 2020, when the pandemic hit, the USDA has issued waivers to expand school lunch programs. This $11 billion program provided a vital lifeline to working families who were struggling to feed their kids during the pandemic, even when schools were out during the summer. Before the vouchers were issued, Wood struggled paying off her 10-year-old daughter’s school lunch debt. “Each pay period, I dumped a portion of my paycheck into my daughter ... read more

Red States: As we previously reported, after President Joe Biden took a tumble off his bicycle during a Saturday bike ride in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, some in the mainstream media immediately jumped into excuse-making mode over the embarrassing moment.

Banning Solidarity
How is not turning up on rail workers' picket lines "showing leadership"?

Three large galaxies near the cluster center, two yellow ellipticals (NGC 3311, NGC 3309) and one prominent blue spiral (NGC 3312), are the dominant galaxies, each about 150,000 light-years in diameter.

"The Green Frog Skin"
*"The Green Frog Skin"* by John (Fire) Lame Deer "The Green Frog Skin – that’s what I call the dollar bill. In our attitude towards it lies the biggest difference between the Indians and the whites. My grandparents grew up in an Indian world without money. Just before the Custer battle the white soldiers had received their pay. Their pockets were full of green paper and they had no place to spend it. What were their last thoughts as an Indian bullet or arrow hit them? I guess they were thinking of all that money going to waste, of not having had a chance to enjoy it, of a bunch of ... read more

The crisis is exceptional because it is in the field of ideati... read more

In 2015, I posted my review of Too Hot to Touch, a 2013 book by William and Rosemarie Alley.

The challenging objective was to store this extremely dangerous high level radioactive waste in a way that would be absolutely safe for a million years. The Yucca Mountain site in Nevada was an isolated desert location. It was not perfect, but no place was perfect. It was the best choice pos... read more
