The US just reported its deadliest day for coronavirus patients as states reopen, according to WHO

Dozens of states have unveiled reopening plans and several, including Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, have already begun to allow nonessential retailers to reopen.

This is what direct action looks like. Kudos to the young forest defenders in Humboldt who have blocked logging operations on Rainbow Ridge for three days running. Kids these days, gotta love 'em.

What's needed to stave off an economic #coronavirus meltdown. 1-Personal and commercial mortgages on hold until this is over. 2-No rent payments due for the same period. 3-All credit debt on hold. 4-$2,000 a month to individuals for the duration. Anyone in Washington listening?

I will say it again: if you go on Tucker and don’t challenge his fascism, you by default are also a fascist. Pretty telling that a corrections officer gives Tucker more grief than Glenn Greenwald and his acolytes.

Tucker Carlson had a complete meltdown tonight in response to a former New York corrections officer who criticized Derek Chauvin for using excessive force on George Floyd. Here's how the interview (abruptly) ended.

You can pretty much decipher which Dem prez candidates are worth a damn by their stance on Assange: Sanders, Warren, Gravel, Gabbard, have all spoken out. Teflon Joe? He once called Assange a "hi-tech terrorist". In other words, don't trust Biden with the 1st Amendment.

Wrong. Democrats shutting down California aren’t socialists. They’re liberals. Socialists would follow science, but we would also ensure every worker and small biz owner would survive this by providing proper assistance across the board.

SF Assistant DA Michael Menesini calls CounterPunch "antisemitic" for criticizing Israel and claims Arabs should be "sent back" to their homelands. Both were emailed via his government address. Violations of the Hatch Act? Either way, he shouldn't be allowed on free speech cases.

@arielxpink It's "panopticon". Anyway, if by canceled you mean we aren't going to purchase tickets to your shows/buy your albums, you'd be correct. But your voice won't be silenced, you'll still be free to be a fascist pig. We just aren't going to sit back and pretend you are anything else.

Israel lost. They've lost the narrative. They've lost empathy. The global community is outraged. A new antiwar movement in the US has been born. Young American Jews are shunning Zionism like never before. It may not seem like it, but Palestine's future has never been brighter.

Sorry, but we've been down this road before. Obama had both Houses of Congress in '09. He killed 20+ civilians in a drone strike days after taking office. He failed to help 9.3 million in foreclosure. He opened up offshore drilling. The point? Trusting Dems is a dangerous gambit.

CA has 416 pledged delegates. 75 have been allocated so far. 341 to go. Voters still in line in Bernie strongholds. Wait it out. Might not be so dismal for Bernie when the dust settles. The networks, of course, would have you think otherwise. They are selling you a product.

Sanders won NH, but a few are pointing out that he would have been crushed if the vote was not split among three moderates. Well, a new poll shows that Sanders would actually clobber any candidate he faced in a one-on-one matchup, via @AndrewRomano

Motaz has become the courageous symbol of Palestinian resistance. Not b/c he fired a gun, he's been far more potent - exposing Israel's crimes to millions w/ his camera. Israel fears journalists like Motaz who humanize Palestinian suffering. Please, let them survive this evil.

All these talking heads and Democrats that now care so very much about “democracy” are the same ones that worked to undercut the democratic process in Bolivia, Venezuela (and dozens of other countries).
