Gaza protester, 16, dies from Israeli bullet to the stomach.

On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a task force to tackle what he called the “sobering and heartbreaking” issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women. The president added that such action “should’ve been done a long time ago.”

One of the annoying things about continuing to write about the OPCW/Douma scandal in the near-total absence of mainstream media coverage is the fact that it’s difficult for a new reader to just jump in on this developing story without having followed it from the beginning. There are a lot of details to go over to introduce someone to the story, and if I repeat them every time I write an article on the subject I’m twelve paragraphs in before I get to the new developments, and by that time I’ve bored all the readers who didn’t need the introduction.

On this Black Friday, we’re looking at the dark side of shopping. Specifically, clothes and the fashion industry. In this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast, we talk with longtime fashion and style journalist Dana Thomas about how clothes are rapidly becoming the new plastic.

She lays out the problem succinctly: there are far too many clothes in the world, they are produced in horrible working conditions, and even retailers generally have no idea where their products are made.

You find yourself going back and forth with one of those high-confidence, low-information establishment types who’s promulgating a dubious mainstream narrative, whether that be about politics, war, Julian Assange, or whatever.

It is as if the struggle of truth-tellers like Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning is now a warning to them: that the thugs who dragged Assange out of the Ecuadorean embassy in April may one day come for them.

Ruling Conservatives claim BDS activities undermine “community cohesion.”

Deep in the north country of Texas, Sharon Wilson — a fifth-generation Texan — and her son used to take her 1996 Chevy truck and drive into the pasture on clear nights.

The most shocking thing about the House impeachment hearings to this point is not a “smoking gun” witness providing irrefutable evidence of quid pro quo. It’s not that President Trump may or may not have asked the Ukrainians to look into business deals between then-Vice President Biden’s son and a Ukrainian oligarch.
