Steve Topple | thecanary.co | 2020-05-10
Just as Boris Johnson launched his contentious new coronavirus (Covid-19) slogan, Nicola Sturgeon blew the whole thing wide open with a single tweet.

The success of early infant testing and cART initiation strategies is severely limited by subsequent cART non-adherence in HIV-infected children. Although there are practical challenges to administering paediatric cART formulations, these are overcome by mothers who themselves are cART-adherent. These findings point to the ongoing obligation to address the unmet needs of the mothers. Eliminating the particular barriers preventing adequate treatment for these vulnerable women and infants need to be prioritised in order to achieve durable suppression of viraemia on cART, let alone HIV cure/remission, in HIV-infecte…

The stock market is not the economy
C.J. Atkins | peoplesworld.org | 2020-05-08

Whenever the Dow Jones or the S&P 500 hit a new high, we've been expected to clap and cheer for the latest proof that America is "great again." On such occasions, the president has regularly tweeted, …

Facebook deletes dozens of Palestinian activists' accounts
Peoples Dispatch | peoplesdispatch.org | 2020-05-07
Social media site Facebook has blocked dozens of pages belonging to Palestinian activists on Monday and Tuesday, May 5 and 6, using the vague category of "not following the community standards". The real figure may rise as reports of more accounts being blocked are still emerging. | According to Facebook, it has already "reviewed" the decision and hence there is no grievance redressal available for those whose pages have been blocked or deleted. | Speaking to Middle East Eye, one of the activists, Imad Jibreen, who lives in the occupied West Bank, claimed that Facebook "did not provide any specific reason" for de…

CHARLOTTESVILLE ( Rutherford) —-We are fast becoming a nation–nay, a world–of book burners.While on paper, we are technically free to speak–at least according to the U.S. Constitution–in reality, however, we are only as free to speak as the government and its corporate partners such as Facebook, Google or YouTube may allow. | That's not a whole lot of freedom. Especially if you're inclined to voice opinions that may be construed as conspiratorial or dangerous. | Take David Icke, for example. | Icke, a popular c…

Matt Bruenig | peoplespolicyproject.org | 2020-04-29
Last week, an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) concluded that the Federalist's top manager, Ben Domenech, violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when, on the same day as a 2019 Vox Media union walkout, Domenech tweeted "FYI @fdrlst first one of you tries to unionize I swear I'll send you back to the salt mine." | This is an obviously correct decision that is consistent with both the statute and the NRLB case law. Section 8(a)(1) of the NLRA declares that it is an unfair labor practice to "i…
