Thousands took to the streets of Umm al-Fahm on Friday.

The US has passed the first year in its battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, one marked by social distancing, mask-wearing, and endless sacrifices. The apprentices in WhoWhatWhy’s Mentor-Apprentice Program documented the changes that continue to shape life in their hometowns, offering a unique snapshot of the spread of the coronavirus to date and the efforts made to overcome it. Here are their stories:

Does anyone still remember Mikhail Gorbachev, the just-turned 90-year-old man more responsible than Ronald Reagan for the transition to perestroika and collapse of the Soviet Union? I do.

In the Orwellian year of 1984, I was a skinny, myopic Soviet nine-year-old wondering whether a US nuclear missile strike would kill me on impact, or if I would survive a post-WWIII world, rummaging for canned foods and planting toxic potatoes.

On en oublierait presque que pour ce qui est de l’origine de la pandémie, la «Mink Farm Theory » [1] tient désormais la corde. La Fashion Week de Paris a vu défiler en reine des podiums la veste courte en vison de Fendi.

Une marque de luxe prestigieuse dont la patrie vient pourtant tout juste de décréter un moratoire pour l’année qui commence : pendant au moins douze mois, aucun vison ne sera élevé en Italie. Ceci pour éviter l’émergence d’un nouveau variant du coronavirus. Pareil en Suède.

The Republican Revolt Against Democracy, Explained in 13 Charts (DonkeyHotey)

From Vox: “The Republican Party is the biggest threat to American democracy today. It is a radical, obstructionist faction that has become hostile to the most basic democratic norm: that the other side should get to wield power when it wins elections.

Multiple major missile strikes reportedly on a convoy of oil tanker trucks and a refinery in northern Syria lit up the night sky on Friday. Initially there was confusion as to who was behind the devastating attack which obliterated multiple dozens of oil tanker trucks.

While allies of former President Donald Trump have leveled spurious charges against Dominion Voting Systems surrounding the 2020 elections, they have generally turned a blind eye to questions about Election Systems and Software, LLC (ES&S), a much larger voting machine company operating in dozens of states, including Texas and Arizona.

The Urban Dictionary, which allows users to submit virtually any phrase with any definition, has removed a reference to “Blue Anon” – a new phrase mocking leftists for their belief in right-wing conspiracy theories, “such as the Russia Hoax, Jussie Smollett hoax, Ukraine hoax, Covington Kids hoax, and Brett Kavanaugh hoax.”

The move comes just 24 hours after journalist Jack Posobiec pointed out the Blue Anon entry to his more than 1 million Twitter followers:

It’s not as if oil – the best performing class of 2021 – behind bitcoin of course – needed any more reasons to surge higher (for the latest tally please read “Saudis + Commodity Funds = Energy Stock Explosion“), but it got it moments ago when Saudi Arabia said that it had intercepted missiles and a barrage of drones launched from neighboring Yemen and which targeted Dhahran, where Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company, is headquartered, which eyewitnesses said was rocked by an explosion.

Pourquoi les chaînes info programment-elles autant de débats ? Est-ce encore du journalisme ? Antoine Genton, ancien présentateur d’i-Télé (devenue CNews), nous décrit les coulisses de ces émissions.

Have you imagined that cities could die out because of the pandemic? Well, I did, but apparently they are stronger than one might think. Despite the great work-at-home shift, cities still hold significant economic value in ways more abstract than financial and technological assets. The “downfall of the city” is an alarm regularly sounded throughout history — and has never happened.

Many Americans are asking themselves: Is double making offering more protection against COVID-19 than a single mask? 

To answer that question, we ask readers: Does anyone wear two condoms?

The answer is probably no. But members of the Biden administration and at least one state governor are touting the extra benefits of double masking.

In November, the TV Academy presented Cuomo with the International Emmy Founders Award “in recognition of his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his masterful use of TV to inform and calm people around the world.” It sure wishes it could take that day back.

A new report by the World Obesity Federation found that 88% of deaths in the first year of the pandemic occurred in countries where over half of the population is classified as overweight – which is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) above 25. Of note, BMI values above 30 – considered obese – are associated with ‘particularly severe outcomes,’ according to the

The White House announced Friday that President Biden intends to attempt to reign in the ability of US Presidents to launch new ‘open-ended’ foreign wars by working with Congress in repealing war authorizations which have given the executive immense unilateral power since 9/11. However, it’s clearly in reality an attempt at after-the-fact PR damage control.

Earlier this week, NATO put out a promotional video celebrating their diversity. The heavily-produced video featured a range of smiling people of all ages, genders and races, painting the international military alliance as a progressive force.

“The man who can center his thoughts and hopes upon something transcending self,” Bertrand Russell once observed, “can find a certain peace in the ordinary troubles of life which is impossible to the pure egoist.” 

It is advice that is as obvious as it is true, but still hard to accept as a native New Yorker. I have lived in this city my whole life and could never escape the paradoxes and contradictions that abound here. 

How the Left Plans to Shrink the Democratic Establishment (Dan)

From Politico: “Washington hasn’t paid much attention to the handful of upcoming special elections in deep-blue House districts. There’s little reason to: it’s a near-certainty that the seats will elect Democrats. But progressives are keeping close tabs.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top advisers successfully intervened in pushing state health officials scrub a public report showing that by July 2020, nearly 10,000 New York nursing home residents had died in the pandemic, according to a late-Thursday report in the Wall Street Journal.

Avoiding Chinese goods is not an option. The world’s largest manufacturing economy is also the largest global exporter of goods, and the second largest importer. Even amid the pandemic, China is still the world fastest growing consumer market and the only major economy to grow in the past year.

Comme attendu, nous constatons cette semaine une reprise des contaminations. L’épidémie reste à des niveaux inquiétants, 400 personnes meurent chaque jour depuis plus de 100 jours, et les variants progressent toujours, nouveau signe de la gestion plus que calamiteuse du gouvernement.

Christine Lagarde a été très claire : l’annulation des dettes publiques contractées en réponse à la crise sanitaire est « inenvisageable ». Elle constituerait « une violation du traité européen qui interdit strictement le financement monétaire des États[1] ».

I write about humanity’s problems as a species in all sorts of ways in this space, but really if you want to get straightforward about things all we’re ever actually talking about here is a lack of awareness of what’s true and the need to eliminate that lack.

A lack of awareness is the source of all our major problems, whether we’re talking about war, poverty, ecocide, corruption, exploitation, authoritarianism, prejudice, or even much smaller-scale problems like abusive family dynamics or the psychological suffering of the individual.

Having immediately decried the actions of Texas and Mississippi – in giving their citizens back some freedom and the ability to think for themselves – as “absolutely reckless,” California Governor Gavin Newsom has doubled-down (literally) on the virtue-signaling.

“We will be doubling down on mask wearing,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday, “not arguing to follow the example of Texas and other states that I think are making a terrible mistake.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called for increased funding for Capitol security, citing a threat of violence from “all the president’s men,” referring to the unarmed ‘insurrectionists’ which were allowed by the Capitol Police to run around the Capitol like children at a birthday party – and then allowed to simply walk out, only to be arrested days later.
