The events celebrated each Juneteenth (June 19) took place in Galveston, TX, in 1865. It’s been an officially celebrated state holiday in Texas since 1980. So why is Juneteenth having its national moment now?

In this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast we talk with Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award- winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed, the author of On Juneteenth.

Nuclear research among topics being explored.

Une vague effrayante de licenciements, de menaces et de représailles contre des écrivains et des militants pro-palestiniens a glacé le climat politique. Aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, « l’exception palestinienne » remet en question les normes de la liberté d’expression.

Iraq war architect Donald Rumsfeld has died. Not in a prison cell in The Hague, not murdered by bombs or bullets, but peacefully in his home, surrounded by loved ones, a week and a half shy of his 89th birthday.

Video recorded moments before the Champlain Tower South collapse last Thursday shows concrete crumbling and water pouring out of an underground parking garage ceiling.

The footage, shot by Adriana Sarmiento and Roberto Castillero, two tourists staying in a nearby hotel, initially heard a loud bang minutes before the 12-story condominium building collapsed. They grabbed their smartphones and headed to the parking garage.

Steven Seagal used to be known as a Hollywood action hero. These days he is an extra in the Kremlin’s political spectacle leading up to the election for Russia’s parliament in September.

The National Security Agency (NSA) has responded to allegations by Fox News host Tucker Carlson that they’ve been monitoring the communications between members of his crew with the intention of getting the show canceled.

With BofA predicting that the US is facing a period of “transitory hyperinflation“, one which could last up to 4 years, as a result of soaring commodity prices in everything from metals to food and beyond, in what increasingly more warn is a stagflationary burst right out of the 1970s playbook…

More than 53,000 people convicted of felonies in Minnesota, who have served their sentences and are paying taxes, taking care of their families, and participating in their communities, are not allowed to vote. 

Dans un entretien récemment accordé à la revue Zadig, le Président Macron expose son rapport à la France. Le propos, riche et réfléchi, intéressant à plus d’un titre, laisse cependant circonspect. A-t-il vraiment été tenu par l’homme qui occupe le fauteuil élyséen depuis 2017 ?

La smart city en fait rêver certains. Les ingénieurs qui la convoitent parlent dorénavant d’une « citoyenneté augmentée ». Ce nouveau concept de la ville connectée et sûre aspire à ce que « les civic tech transforment le consommateur capté en citoyen capteur ». Cette citoyenneté augmentée permettrait une plus grande démocratie et ce, grâce aux nouvelles technologies et à leur injection dans l’aménagement urbain.

Tucker Carlson says an NSA whistleblower has stepped forward and provided evidence that the National Security Agency (NSA) has been spying on him.

“Yesterday we heard from a whistleblower within the US government, who reached out to warn us that the NSA (National Security Agency) has been monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air,” said Carlson.

More evidence is emerging to suggest that the Delta COVID variant poses a very real threat, even to patients who have already been fully vaccinated.

As a reminder, the WHO’s new naming scheme has the most pervasive variants named after greek letters. Right now, the Delta variant is causing the most trouble worldwide.

For liberal Zionists, murderous anti-Semitism trumps Israel’s murderous state ideology.

The latest effort to bolster the COVID-19 natural origin theory comes from Bloomberg, which published a glowing interview of Danielle Anderson – an Australian virologist who worked shoulder-to-shoulder with top scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who she then ran cover for – repeatedly insisting that COVID-19 couldn’t have possibly escaped from the lab.

If shit hits the fan and your surroundings are literally on fire — or you’re stranded and must start a fire — will you be ready to make it on your own and survive?

Sunday’s night’s series of US airstrikes on Syria and Iraq were the second publicly disclosed military strikes of Biden’s presidency, which were described as targeting Iran-backed militia’s which had been targeting American troop positions with drone and rocket attacks.

Dancing is about moving through three-dimensional space. But for dance students and their teachers, that space has shrunk, for the past year and a half, to tiny, two-dimensional squares on a computer screen.

Au lendemain du second tour des élections régionales, qui illustrent à merveille ce gros temps politique, lourd, poisseux, insupportable, il ne nous reste qu’à chercher des points de fuite : évoquer et s’approprier l’idée d’une démocratie radicale.

Bill Maher slammed Big Tech on Friday’s episode of his show, “Real Time with Bill Maher,” criticizing Facebook and Google for censoring content discussing the COVID-19 lab-leak theory.

“I find this outrageous. Facebook banned any post for four months about COVID coming from a lab,” said Maher, adding “Now, even the Biden administration is looking into it.”

When you get the chance to remind the public that you should not only be known for your role in covering up hundreds of sexual abuse cases — most of them involving minor victims — but also as an archaic, deeply hypocritical organization that should not be taken seriously by anyone, then you have to take it. 

And that’s what the Roman Catholic Church of the US did in an impressive fashion this month.

Joe Manchin has a lot of power.

The West Virginia legislator is one of 50 Democratic senators, but, as a representative of a small, conservative state, he has no problem breaking rank with his party. And with the Senate split evenly along party lines, this means the fate of the Biden administration’s initiatives often rests in his hands alone.

Which means the Democrats have to please him to pass their agenda. Which means he can hold out for whatever he wants. Which he does.

Truth is under siege in America, and tribalism is on the rise. Keeping these two powerful forces in balance has been the key to what George Washington called the “great experiment” of American democracy for almost 400 years. Why are they in play so strongly today? What do they have in common, and how are trolling, disinformation, social media, and cancel culture all adding to the problem?

Why can we no longer talk in good faith about a shared reality? Why do we suddenly have to define what we mean by “truth”? 

Official alleges that demand for weapons embargo could cause “anti-Semitic behavior.”

Heiko Maas, le ministre allemand des Affaires étrangères a récemment demandé, au nom de son pays, la fin du droit de veto qui permet, dans certains domaines, à chaque État membre de l’UE de bloquer l’adoption d’une décision lorsqu’il l’estime incompatible avec ses intérêts. La proposition allemande, si elle devait être adoptée, représenterait une rupture dans l’histoire de la construction européenne dont il n’est pas certain qu’elle sortirait renforcée.

John McAfee said that if he ever ended up dead by suicide in prison he was in fact whacked by the US government, which was pursuing him for tax evasion. He even got himself a tattoo to that effect. And so, after McAfee was found dead on Tuesday in a Barcelona jail cell hours after a Spanish court approved his extradition to the US to face tax evasion charges, the internet faithfully responded with a round of conspiracy theories. 

In what has become an exhausting routine over the past several months, Sandra Duggan and her husband, Eric, readied their remarks, stated their names and address for the record, and delivered a plea to the Board of Trustees in Erie, CO, to protect their health from fracking sites so close to their home that vibrations knock framed pictures from the walls.  

Gaza’s refugees treated callously by authorities in Brussels.

La plus grande force sous couverture que le monde ait jamais connue est celle que le Pentagone a créée au cours de la dernière décennie. Quelque 60 000 personnes font désormais partie de cette armée secrète, dont beaucoup travaillent sous des identités masquées et font profil bas, le tout dans le cadre d’un vaste programme appelé « réduction de signature » [Comprendre réduction de la signature radar, c’est à dire des traces laissées par une personne au cours du temps, NdT].

Marc Ferro évoque le procès de Nuremberg avec l’historien Klaus Wenger et l’ex-ministre français de la Justice, Robert Badinter. En 1946, les alliés vainqueurs entendent juger les criminels de guerre allemands. C’est à Nuremberg, berceau du nazisme, que siège le tribunal qui devra se prononcer sur la culpabilité de vingt-quatre d’entre eux. C’est aussi là qu’apparaît pour la première fois la notion de crime contre l’humanité.

The audit of Arizona’s 2020 election results in Maricopa County is scheduled to finally wrap up this week, more than a month behind schedule.

The recount, done by a private firm hired by Arizona’s Republican-led state Senate and by disgruntled right-wing million and billionaires, has focused in recent weeks on searching for secret watermarks and Chinese bamboo fibers in the ballots. 

Nothing was found.
