Proud Boys Leaders in Four States Are Charged in Capitol Riot – The New York Times

F.B.I. agents have arrested two organizers for the Proud Boys in Philadelphia and North Carolina, and prosecutors filed new charges against two other prominent members of the far-right group in Florida and Washington State as federal authorities continued their crackdown on its leadership ranks, three law enforcement officials said on Wednesday.

With the new conspiracy indictment, prosecutors have now brought charges against a total of 13 people identified in court papers as members of the Proud Boys. Federal investigators have described the group, which appeared in force in Washington on Jan. 6, as one of the chief instigators of the riot at the Capitol that left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer.

International aid is the latest victim of Boris Johnson’s culture wars | openDemocracy

Maybe Johnson doesn’t think it’s his job to care about people outside Britain. But what about the £120m for UK universities, which will be pulled with just four months’ notice? Perhaps he might worry about scrapping research into, for example, combating diseases similar to COVID-19?

Coisas têm preço, pessoas têm valor

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Diante da calamidade do coronavirus vivida pela população, temos compreendido que o valor do ser humano tem sido muito baixo para essa frase logo acima fazer jus a toda essa situação emblemática que vive o país hoje.

Segundo o diariodocentrodomundo.com.br, A cidade de São Paulo, ultrapassou os 600 óbitos diários por covid. Sem dúvida, esses números assuntam, porque fazendo uma relação com o mês anterior […], as mortes seriam menor, algo aí por volta de 400 vítimas. E hoje os dados preocupam por esses números terem aumentado significativamente. As pessoas estão morrendo porque há caos em toda parte. Há omissão tanto da população, como também da parte do governo. A população não é tão inocente, que não consiga cumprir regras básicas de higienização. O governo porque tem dado um ” jeitinho” de se esquivar de suas obrigações. E o pior, a saúde vive um colapso, porque os hospitais já não…

More People in the US Had COVID-19 than We Knew

We’re not done with the virus until the virus says so.

And remember, if the US had acted in concert with Australia and New Zealand last year, we wouldn’t have this mess. The US didn’t, and we’re paying a huge price for GOP stupidity.

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

There are two separate reports about COVID-19 antibodies present among people who don’t think they’ve been sick. Remarkably, they point to the same percentage of Americans having been infected with the virus.

  • A study of 61,910 persons undergoing medical exams as part of applying for life insurance: 6.6% of blood samples among persons claiming not to ,have had COVID-19 have the antibodies for the coronavirus. That by itself would add millions of infection cases to the US totals.(1)
  • In the first week of March, the American Red Cross reports that 1 in five blood donations from unvaccinated donors contained COVID-19 antibodies.(2)

The insurance study finding by itself is sufficient to double the number of COVID-19 infections in the US.

The finding would “double the number who have been infected with COVID-19 compared to the number of clinically diagnosed cases,” lead author Robert L. Stout, PhD, chief scientific officer at Clinical…

Border Patrol agents are ‘working to sabotage the Biden administration’, according to insiders | The Independent

Budd recounted a time when she approached a border station in 2019 and spoke to agents who were aware that she had been part of the agency but were not aware of her current immigration activism: “I asked them why it was taking them so long to process — it didn’t take that long [even] when I had to hand-write everything back in the day — and they would say, ‘We’re trying to teach them a lesson’. So they were intentionally keeping people in there for over two weeks at a time in these conditions to punish them. That is the only reason why they were doing that.”

Budd continued on to say that the same people who responsible for harsh treatment of migrants during the Trump era are still in charge: “They do this on purpose. And none of that has changed in the management has not changed at all. But the same people who separated families and created the last crisis are doing it again.”
