Washington — The Supreme Court's conservative majority is allowing evictions to resume across the United States, blocking the Biden administration from enforcing a temporary ban that was put in place because of the coronavirus pandemic. | The court's action late Thursday ends protections for roughly 3.5 million people in the United States who said they faced eviction in the next two months, according to Census Bureau data from early August. | The court said in an unsigned opinion that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reimposed the moratorium Aug. 3, lacked the authority to do so under f…

We go to Kabul, Afghanistan, for an update as the death toll from twin suicide bomb attack outside the airport has topped 110 people, including 13 U.S. troops. The suicide bombers struck near the crowded gates of the airport where thousands of Afghans had gathered in an attempt to flee the country before the withdrawal of U.S. troops on August 31.

Islamic State Khorasan, or ISIS-K, is a puritanical group that is "critical of all other sects of Islam," says Rahimi. "Whatever Muslim that thinks differently than them is a major target for them."

Afghanistan Redux: Malala Yousafzai, White Feminism and Saving Afghan Women

The 'War On Terror' Scam Continues

ISIS has reportedly claimed credit for an explosion near Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport. As of this writing there are around 90 dead including 13 US military personnel, though to read western mainstream media reports you'd think only US troops died and not scores of Afghans as well. | This was the deadliest attack in a decade on US troops in Afghanistan, which is odd to think about considering how many people the US military has killed during that time; just between January and July of this year the war killed 1,659 civilians.

Ex-Pence Aide: Stephen Miller's "Racist Hysteria" Made It Harder for Afghan Allies to Get Visas

Israel is the U.S. empire's laboratory in repression, with the brutal anti-Palestinian tactics of the Zionist forces being used to train police in the U.S. and Colombia. Latin America is the empire's laboratory in the paramilitary facets of this repression, with the death squads in countries like Colombia being replicated in domestic U.S. militias like the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters.

Roaming Charges: Hour of the Goat

Corporate media politicize WHO investigation on Covid origins to vilify China
Joshua Cho | mronline.org | 2021-08-27
One key factor in spreading suspicion that the coronavirus might have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is media's early and ongoing politicization of the World Health Organization's investigation into the pandemic's origins. Much of this politicization weaponizes Orientalist tropes about China being especially, perhaps genetically, untrustworthy–the sort of people who would unleash COVID-19 on the world.

California Recall: Right-Wing Radio Host Who Once Mentored Stephen Miller Could Replace Gov. Newsom

The conservative talk radio host Larry Elder is now the Republican front-runner challenging Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom in a special election that could also shape national politics. California voters cast ballots on September 14 on whether to recall Newsom, after a right-wing campaign to unseat the governor garnered enough signatures to trigger the vote. If Newsom fails to get more than 50% support for staying in office, the candidate with the most votes replaces him as governor.
