    Canada: House of Commons passes motion to designate Proud Boys a terrorist entity - CityNews Toronto
    https://toronto.citynews.ca/2021/01/25/house-passes-motion-to-designate-proud-boys-a-terrorist-entity/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
    The House of Commons has passed a motion to designate the Proud Boys a terrorist entity. The motion passed with unanimous consent, but at this point it’s not an official designation. Public Safety Minister Bill Blair is still gathering evidence to possibly make it an official designation.

    Against the Consensus Approach to History
    https://newrepublic.com/article/160995/consensus-approach-history
    In the mid-1940s, Edmund S. Morgan, a mild-mannered young historian, was teaching at Brown and making a name in the quiet field of early American studies. Having published a slim, well-received collection of essays on the New England Puritans, he might have seemed the very model of the unassuming scholar at the outset of a modest career, satisfied to refine the work of great forebears in a narrow field. That wasn’t Edmund Morgan. The Second World War was over. The United States was developing an energetic vision, which would come to fruition in 1960 with the election of John F. Kennedy, of its new global leadership role. In keeping with that vision, Morgan launched a bold new interpretation of the nation’s founding. Throwing out elder historians’ prevailing focus on the founding generation’s self-interest (Clarence Alvord had said that George Washington became a patriot to defend speculations in Indian land) and on its class conflicts (Carl Becker had said that the Revolution was not only over British rule but also over the rule of elite Americans), Morgan sought to identify the grand principles that the revolutionary generation agreed on. “What the colonists had to say about Parliamentary power and about their own rights deserved to be taken seriously,” he explained later. As the U.S. began to exercise new power around the world, Morgan set out to show that the protests in the 1760s and ’70s against the Stamp Act and other British policies offered slam-dunk evidence of a founding American consensus on principles of rights. Inherent to the American character, that consensus unified the colonists, he said, inspired the Revolution, and brought about the United States. In the larger context of his work, and the work of similarly minded colleagues, the lesson was that the founding American commitment to rights persisted in postwar U.S. commitments to modern liberal democracy.

    Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler pepper-sprayed man who accosted him for outdoor dining, according to police report
    https://www.opb.org/article/2021/01/25/portland-mayor-ted-wheeler-pepper-sprayed-man-who-accosted-him-police-say/
    The mayor was leaving McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House in Southwest Portland with former Mayor Sam Adams around 8 p.m. Sunday when a person confronted him and accused him of sitting in a restaurant without wearing a mask, according to the report. The man, who the mayor described in the report as middle-aged and white, followed Wheeler to his car while videotaping the interaction. The mayor said he warned the man he was carrying pepper spray and told the man to “back off,” but the man refused. As the mayor attempted to get into his car, the mayor pepper-sprayed the stranger in the eyes.

    How the Bay Area's biggest housing development fell apart in 2020
    https://www.sfgate.com/local/editorspicks/article/concord-weapons-station-bayarea-affordable-housing-15883163.php
    How do you kickstart a historically ambitious, multibillion-dollar housing development while the world’s economies remain paralyzed? That’s the dilemma facing Concord after 2020, a year that not only dashed financial markets and upended everyday life across the Bay Area, but also wrecked this city’s critical redevelopment project at the Concord Naval Weapons Station, a huge disused military facility that could be its only means of significantly expanding housing stock.

    ‘It’s about freedom from fear’: Deportations loom despite Biden executive order
    https://www.msnbc.com/american-voices/watch/-it-s-about-freedom-from-fear-deportations-loom-despite-biden-executive-order-99950661881
    Even after President Joe Biden signed an executive order putting forth a 100-day deportation freeze, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) has been fiercely calling out ICE for moving forward to deport DACA-eligible Javier Castillo Maradiaga as soon as Monday morning. Rebecca Press, who represents Maradiaga and is the Legal Director for UnLocal, says there’s been back and forth over whether or not he would be departed since Thursday, saying, “When the miscommunication has frankly life or death consequences or devastating impacts on families, that communication cannot be allowed to occur.” Rep. Torres, who is calling for a top to bottom review of ICE, and Rebecca Press, join MSNBC’s host of “American Voices” Alicia Menendez to discuss the continued plight of those who are undocumented in the U.S.

    Doctor Do-Little
    https://www.thedriftmag.com/the-case-against-fauci/
    Anthony Fauci. His position, with its mixture of informal power and public visibility, scientific authority and beltway influence, is sui generis. Few other unconfirmed civil servants have access to as many rooms in the executive interagency; no public official commands as much respect in the world of science and medicine. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984, he has advised six presidents (and now a seventh) on domestic and global health issues — HIV/AIDS, SARS, Ebola, Zika, and MERS — and overseen decades of research on infectious disease, pandemics, and virology. Under his stewardship, NIAID’s mission has been reshaped around his personage: its priorities are his priorities, its research agenda is his research agenda. And that agenda has borne fruit: breakthrough treatments for HIV and other deadly diseases and now, a vaccine for Covid-19. As Stanford microbiologist David Relman told The New Yorker in April, “Tony has essentially become the embodiment of the biomedical and public-health research enterprise in the United States.” Although Fauci has no statutory authority to preside over a public health crisis, he has become the nation’s de facto Doctor-in-Chief during this pandemic. His face — elven and expressive — is the face of the medical establishment’s response to the novel coronavirus. I doubt most Americans can name the (outgoing) U.S. Surgeon General, CDC Director, or Fauci’s nominal boss, the director of the National Institutes of Health (Jerome Adams, Robert Redfield, and Francis Collins, respectively), but everyone knows Dr. Fauci. His plaintive but never pessimistic patter and disarming outer-borough rasp are soothing sonic features of our daily dirge of death, doom, and statistics. I was relieved when I first saw Fauci on TV — sometime in March 2020 — thinking dimly to myself, for the millionth time, “Ah, an adult in the room.” Amid a ceaseless current of chaos and grief, Fauci’s egoless display of competence, his grandfatherly warmth and irony, were ports in a storm.

    Mexico's president says he's tested positive for COVID-19

    He has also resisted locking down the economy, noting the devastating effect it would have on so many Mexicans who live day to day, despite that the country has registered nearly 150,000 COVID-19 deaths and more than 1.7 million infections. Last week, the country registered its highest levels of infections and deaths to date. Early in the pandemic, asked how he was protecting Mexico, López Obrador removed two religious amulets from his wallet and proudly showed them off. “The protective shield is the ‘Get thee behind me, Satan,’” López Obrador said, reading off the inscription on the amulet, “Stop, enemy, for the Heart of Jesus is with me.

    The Secret to Getting a Vaccine Appointment
    https://annehelen.substack.com/p/the-secret-to-getting-a-vaccine-appointment
    If you’re struggling right now to get a vaccine appointment for yourself or your parents, the frustration and unfairness you’re feeling, that’s what millions of Americans experience everyday — and have been experiencing for years — when it comes to navigating our healthcare system. You might have felt it yourself, or felt some corner of it. Regardless: remember this feeling of helplessness. Keep it close. Know that no matter how much tinkering and funding the Biden administration directs into the system won’t actually address the root of the problem. If you hate this, if you’ve hated all of this, if you authentically never want anything like this past year to happen again, start thinking now about the systems and beliefs that allowed it to get this bad in the first place. Right now, we need fixes. But for our future, we need foundational change.
