Next strike up: UC Medical System
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 05/08/2018 - 4:31pmFor the first time in months, the strike news isn't about teachers.
It's about the University of California, and it's pretty big.

Where Did the Opportunities Go?
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Tue, 05/08/2018 - 3:06pmThat is a question I've been asking myself for the last 6 years. I literally had professors say "Oh yeah, the tech field is booming, dude bro. It ain't going away." Yet, no matter how many resumes, cover letters or references I put out there, all I get for my trouble is shit.

Senate Democrats move to give Trump dictatorship-like war powers
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 05/08/2018 - 1:11pmDoes anyone else remember how the Democrats' McResistance considers President Trump to be a tyrant and a fascist, and that he must be stopped because of this? A couple months ago Democrats in Congress went out of their way to give this scary guy domestic spying powers that would make Orwell turn over in his grave.
It was a very unusual way to "resist" Trump.
"Russian interference" is the "aether theory" of US politics
Submitted by arendt on Tue, 05/08/2018 - 11:43amNo matter what problem the US is facing, its always the Russians' fault. The Russian Interference (RI) theory, like the aether theory (see NOTE-A), while never supported by evidence, must be assumed as true if one is to publish in the corporate media. Therefore it is baffling, but not surprising, that the despicable John Brennan is being attacked for attacking Donald Trump for being a Russian stooge.

The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2016-2017
The presentation of the Top 25 stories of 2016-2017 extends the tradition originated by Professor Carl Jensen and his Sonoma State University students in 1976, while reflecting how the expansion of the Project to include affiliate faculty and students from campuses across North America has made the Project even more diverse and robust. During this year’s cycle, Project Censored reviewed over 300 Validated Independent News stories (VINs) representing the collective efforts of 310 college students and 27 professors from 12 college and university campuses that participate in our affiliate program.

NAFTA and the plot against López Obrador
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 05/07/2018 - 10:47pmThis week is a make-or-break week for NAFTA renegotiations.
If an agreement isn't reached then what will be left is a ‘Zombie NAFTA’.
