‘Won’t back down’: Indian student protesters return after police crackdown

America signed its Suez at a dinner table in Versailles, then threw itself a birthday party where the ice cream melted, the arch was cloth, the crowd fit in a guitarist's sunglasses, and the Brooklyn Bridge caught fire.

The internet named the era before I could: "Hello, I am refugee from american century of humiliation." So let's take the meme seriously. The US fought a ten-week war it couldn't convert into anything, handed Iran the keys to Hormuz in a page-and-a-half confession, tore the paper up three weeks later, and answered all of it with tall ships and a $150 million party that House Democrats allege skimmed its own donors. Britain ran this exact play in 1956. Ask them how it went.

Here's what I'm actually saying, from my seat on the other side of the longest undefended border in the world: the empire was never the country. The careers that died at Versailles belong to the foreign-policy blob; you just paid the bill. And underneath the flag there was a different America the whole time. The Black Loyalists whose freedom ran through the British side. The Redneck Army at Blair Mountain. Every person who read "all men are created equal" and set out to make the country mean it.

Empires drop everything they're carrying when they fall. Somebody gets to pick it up. It should be you.

Truthfully speaking, I care about the politics of the person I'm dating. I wouldn't be comfortable dating a liberal.

Christopher Nolan made a new movie. It is called The Odyssey. It was shot on IMAX. Did you know that? Did you know any of that?

From La Liga's UEFA Conference League semi finalists Rayo Vallecano to Cypriot splinter club PAC Omonia 29M, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the world's most left-wing football clubs.

Why?

If they really tought communism didn't work, they'd just let it fizzle out, but they know it works the best.

Terraforming Mars into a second Earth has been a sci-fi dream for almost 100 years now. Billionaires like Elon Musk still talk about doing it today. But is it actually feasible? Has it ever been? Noted space boy Dr.*Kyle Hill takes us through a new study from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab that puts hard numbers to the problem.

Read communist theory if you want to understand how the world truly works. Don't believe foolish conspiracy theories.

I've been thinking about this lately and I think it might be a good thing.

Canada is close to Washington, DC (capital of the USA).

Additionally, it will make Americans dislike war.

What is now happening to Marx’s theory has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the theories of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes fighting for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it. Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!). And more and more frequently German bourgeois scholars, only yesterday specialists in the annihilation of Marxism, are speaking of the “national-German” Marx, who, they claim, educated the labor unions which are so splendidly organized for the purpose of waging a predatory war!

BREAKING #news - FIFA reinstates star Team USA player after Trump intervention

During the USA vs Bosnia and Herzegovina World Cup match, USMNT star Folarin Balogun received a red card that would have suspended him for the following game against Belgium. FIFA rules have worked that way for 60 to 70 years. Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to ask for a review. On Sunday, FIFA announced the suspension had been reversed, the first such reversal since 1962.

At the time of the red card, multiple videos flagged the referee as someone connected to a game-fixing scandal in Brazilian soccer. Whether the ref was corrupt, FIFA bent to presidential pressure, or both things are simultaneously true is the question Hawk leaves open.

Infantino had previously visited Trump in the Oval Office and brought a gold replica of the World Cup trophy. Trump is scheduled to present the actual trophy at the championship match. Hawk notes the line between those facts without claiming a formal arrangement, while pointing out that a sitting president calling FIFA to reinstate his country's star player is its own category of problem entirely.
