The rightwing groups behind wave of protests against Covid-19 restrictions
Awave of planned anti-lockdown demonstrations that have broken out around the country to protest against the efforts of state governments to combat the coronavirus pandemic with business closures and stay-at-home orders have included far-right groups as well as more mainstream Republicans. While protesters in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and other states claim to speak for ordinary citizens, many are also supported by street-fighting rightwing groups like the Proud Boys, conservative armed militia groups, religious fundamentalists, anti-vaccination groups and other elements of the radical right.

History: Our Own Past
When we think of history, we tend to think of the dim past before our memories. Thus, it is a knowledge acquired from history books, documents, archeology, inscriptions, and a myriad of other sources. There is, however, another history and that is our own past: the details and memories that we have picked up as we have aged over the years. Those that we have acquired from our earliest years are episodic and lack a clarity that incidents in our more recent days possess. Nevertheless, such early memories can be of use in understanding the present.

Breakthrough COVID-19 antibody test with nearly 100% accuracy can help reopen economy
The UW Medicine Virology Lab is one of the first in the country to get a new Abbott test that checks your blood for a special COVID-19 antibody. “This is an important, new type of testing that we haven’t had access to before,” said Keith Jerome, the director of the UW Medicine. The lab said since Abbott developed the new antibody test, UW researchers have been working 24/7 to verify the test’s effectiveness. Scientists said Friday they found the test can determine if someone had COVID with nearly 100% accuracy. ... “Within just a couple of weeks, we’ll be able to do 12,000 to 14,000 a day. And this starts to get the point where we can make a difference in the population of our area, get people back to work,” Jerome said.
You could get a $2,000 per month stimulus check under proposed bill
Two House Democrats behind the proposal say the one-time, $1,200 check on its way to Americans isn't going to be enough as unemployment skyrockets amid the pandemic.
Two House Democrats have introduced legislation to give millions of Americans $2,000 per month during the coronavirus pandemic. The proposal comes as tens of millions await their one-time check from the CARES Act, which was passed last month. Many of those people have ended up in the unemployment line in the past three weeks. The new bill, named the Emergency Money for the People Act, is being introduced by Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif. Ryan said the plan provides a chance to examine programs like universal basic income.

Dutch far-right leader Baudet had ties to Russia, report says
The Dutch far-right politician who led a campaign against a deal to strengthen ties between the EU and Ukraine sent WhatsApp messages that appear to show he was paid by a Russian with ties to Vladimir Putin, according to a TV investigation. Dutch investigative TV program Zembla said Thierry Baudet, leader of the anti-EU, anti-immigrant Forum for Democracy (FvD) party, sent messages to a colleague about Vladimir Kornilov — who, according to a New York Times article from 2017, has ties to the Kremlin — ahead of a 2016 referendum on a deal with Ukraine. In his messages, Baudet described Kornilov as "a Russian who works for Putin." Kornilov denies having ties to the Kremlin.

The “lost” apples will help restore genetic, culinary diversity to a crop North America once produced in astonishing variety. A dizzying 17,000 named apple varieties once decorated orchards in North America. Most of those strains are now extinct, and today, just 15 varieties account for 90 percent of the United States’ apple production. In the Pacific Northwest, however, a team of retirees has rediscovered ten apple varieties once thought to be lost forever. The ten types of apples represent the most Washington state nonprofit the Lost Apple Project has ever found in a single season, reports Gillian Flaccus for the Associated Press. The newly revived varieties were collected last fall and identified by botanists at Oregon-based nonprofit the Temperate Orchard Conservancy (TOC).
