This vile article in the Times shows us why we must unite to stamp out anti-GRT racism
Sophia Purdy-Moore | thecanary.co | 2021-05-15
On 15 May, the Times published an openly racist article by former Tory MP Matthew Parris. In the shocking article, Parris calls for the systematic eradication of the Traveller way of life, and the removal of the community's rights as an ethnic minority group. Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) community members, campaigners, and allies took to Twitter to call out the abhorrent article — and the mainstream media at large — for its consistent promotion and normalisation of anti-GRT racism. | The article: | According to the Equality and Hum…

[Correspondence] Vaccine scarcity in LMICs is a failure of global solidarity and multilateral instruments
Irene Torres, Daniel Lopez-Cevallos, Osvaldo Artaza, Barbara Profeta, JaHyun Kang, Cristiani Vieira Machado | thelancet.com | 2021-05-15
To address COVID-19 vaccine scarcity, Ivan Sisa and colleagues1 justify placebo-controlled trials in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), arguing that these countries have "less capacity to negotiate and purchase vaccines than do high-income countries" and that the global shortage can be overcome with more vaccine producers coming from such trials. We are concerned that this reasoning sets the wrong precedent because approving such a trial should show that evidence can only be reached with this design.

State Lawmakers Are Trying to Ban Talk About Race in Schools
Emerson Sykes | aclu.org | 2021-05-14
A nationwide attempt to censor discussions of race in the classroom is underway.

The Russian Bounty Story Is A Deadly Example Of Fake News
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-05-14
A New York Times report about Russia paying Taliban militants to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan turned many heads in the summer of 2020 when it was first published. It solidified many Democrats' views that Russia is a dangerous enemy that is consistently acting to not only undermine the U.S., but actually murder its citizens. As NBC News points out, Joe Biden treated the story as factual as a presidential candidate and has continued to repeat the allegations as president. Yet, as many on the left pointed out countless times since the story was published by major news outlets, the reports have never been ad…
