This is an important article to counter all the CIA and imperialist propaganda about the treatment of Islam in Xinjiang. Unfortunately some of this imperialist propaganda is even being spread by so-called progressives and even appearing in publications claiming to be progressive. Progressives have a duty to counter the anti-communist and anti-Chinese rhetoric being disseminated by US imperialism and its dupes and agents (conscious or unconscious) on the role of the CCP in countering extremism and separatism in Xinjiang.

Nationalize the Nursing Home Industry
"Across the United States, nursing homes are looking to get rid of unprofitable patients — primarily those who are poor and require extra care — and pouncing on minor outbursts to justify evicting them to emergency rooms or psychiatric hospitals." How long are we going to allow this predatory industry to get away with violating federal regulations and treating the sick and elderly as simply objects to squeeze cash out of? Congress can put an end to this with stiff and enforceable regulations or, even better, nationalization of the industry and having it run to benefit the people not the profit mongers. This should be a demand the Left makes as every bit as serious as medicare for all -- working people and others at the ends of their lives should not continue to be exploited by the very system that has lived off their exploitation while they were of working age and healthy.

Pro-Trump Militia Movements Growing
"Underscoring how the threat of violent domestic groups is rising with limited official oversight, the top leaders of the Department of Homeland Security directed agency analysts to play down threats from white supremacist groups, according to a whistle-blower complaint released on Wednesday." With combined militia strength at 20,000 and growing along with de facto support from the Trump administration, a real threat of major violent attacks is looming without much being done about it. This article will acquaint you with the basic facts regarding the boots on the ground growing fascist movement in the US. It is probably only the tip of the iceberg. How should the left respond?
