The Erickson Report for October 16-29 includes several items Noted in Passing along with Two Weeks of Stupid: Clowns and Outrages and A Longer Look at the US and the Kurds. (Spoiler: This is not the first time the US has abandoned the Kurds.)

The Erickson Report is news and commentary from the perspective of the radical nonviolent American left. It is advocacy journalism, dealing in facts and logic but never denying that it has a point of view and hopes to spur ethical action on the topics it covers.
