Common Dreams:
"Citing 'Moral Duty to Take Radical Action,' Over 700 Scientists Endorse Mass Civil Disobedience to Fight Climate Crisis. 'We believe that the continued governmental inaction over the climate and ecological crisis now justifies peaceful and nonviolent protest and direct action, even if this goes beyond the bounds of the current law'
Dozens of scientists put words into action by taking part in Extinction Rebellion (XR) demonstrations in London over the weekend and on Monday.
Emily Grossman, a molecular biologist who joined XR's protests in London's financial district Monday, said 'the urgency of the crisis is now so great that many scientists feel, as humans, that we now have a moral duty to take radical action.' "
-->The NYT feels no such moral duty, especially when civil disobedience might threaten the global elite. It didn't print this story.

FAIR:
"Antifascists organize to try to [white-supremacist] movements as one prong of an effort to build a more equal world. 'Antifa' refers to one set of tactics used to physically confront such groups; Cornel West says that antifa saved his life and those of other nonviolent protestors resisting the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville.
Maximillian Alvarez, a writer and PhD candidate who organizes with the Campus Antifascist Network, says that contemporary antifascists 'rely on collective, autonomous, grassroots power to disrupt, expose, block and overwhelm fascist gatherings.' ...
Thus the qualitative differences between antifa and the uber-right could hardly be more stark. The latter preclude debate by dehumanizing the majority of people in America (and on earth) who aren’t white, male, straight and cisgender, and by enacting threatening violence against women and minorities because of who they are."
-->So why does our major media equate the two movements, condemning both of them as “dueling protests,” "hate groups," and "Far-Right, Far-Left" demonstrators?

Vice:
"The U.S. is propping up a dictatorship in Honduras. Even after corruptions, scandals and political assassinations, the United States has still supported Honduras' government.
[President] Hernández's re-election represents a political and social crisis for the already-fragile nation, and casts new light on the U.S.’s complicated relationship with its most important ally in Central America — namely, its history of supporting Honduras’s armed forces while turning a blind eye to the corruption, power grabs, and violence that critics say have put the country on the path to authoritarianism. ...
Today's crisis has roots going back almost a decade, and has been consistently enabled by the United States. In 2009, President José Manuel Zelaya was ousted in a military coup engineered by the National Party, which remains in power today."
-->Another US coup and and human rights mess that the mainstream media can't bring itself to cover. The secrets of empire.
