80 Years Ago - Communists and the Daily Worker back D-Day - the Executive Committee of the Communist Party issued a statement calling on every member to give everything in their power to ensure the speediest success of the invasion - BUT even so the Daily Worker is the only national newspaper banned from embarking a journo with the troops.
The map on the Daily Worker's front page appears to show airborne landings which include the Channel Islands, although I'm not aware of any such landings on the islands on 6 June 1944, but if anyone knows of any such landings please comment below.
To anyone wanting to read a newspaper that's truly and consistently on the side of fighting fascism, like the Daily Worker throughout the 1930s and 1940s, I would highly recommend the Morning Star -

PARIS-. La Mobilisation continue au lendemain de l’adoption de la réforme des retraites.
La 7ème journée de mobilisation jeudi 28 octobre contre la réforme des retraites, adoptée par le parlement, a rassemblé près de 2 millions de personnes dans les rues, selon la CGT.
PARIS-. STRIKES AND PROTESTS FOLLOW ADOPTION OF PENSION REFORM
French unions are holding another day of strikes and protests against pension reform after the lower house of parliament gave final approval on Wednesday to a controversial bill that raises the legal retirement age from 60 to 62.

They say hard work blood sweat and tears built our roads, and this still stands today.
I watched this gang of road workers for several hours in the blistering heat, the women carrying heavy loads of stone on their heads whilst the males levelled and mixed the Tar.
This particular gang were all family, their children slept in the shade at the side of the road.
The end result was a near perfect finish, all done by hand.
Ant Theme: Research by Dr. Jonathan Klassen
Research in the Klassen lab tries to understand how symbioses (“organisms living together”) function as a unit, despite being made up of different individuals that have different ecologies and evolutionary interests. This research is important because of how widespread such symbioses are in nature, e.g., between humans and their gut microbes, or plants and microbes surrounding their roots in the rhizosphere. However, the complexity of such systems makes them difficult to study. Instead, we study a fungus-growing ant, Trachymyrmex septentrionalis, as a model system where we can understand the precise function of each symbiont and how it interacts with the others. T. septentrionalis is the northernmost fungus growing ant, and is abundant in pine flat forests throughout the Eastern USA, ranging as far north as Long Island, New York. In this symbiosis, T. septentrionalis ants collect plant material and insect feces, which they feed to a specific “cultivar” fungus that they farm in underground gardens. Once the fungus has digested this food, it forms nutrient-rich swellings that the ants feed upon. The ants also protect their cultivar fungus from disease using antibiotic-producing Pseudonocardia bacteria that reside on the ants’ proplueral plates (i.e., “chest”). The ants therefore both farm the cultivar fungus as their food source and protect it by “crop spraying” antibiotics produced by their symbiotic Pseudonocardia bacteria.
In this collaboration, we used macrophotography to visualize the various members of our symbiosis and the interactions between them. We took images of each life cycle stage of the ant, and observed how their bodies developed as they moved first from larvae, to pupae, and finally to fully developed adult workers and the male reproductive caste. We also imaged the underside of a worker adult, which showed how the Pseudonocardia bacteria form an ordered array of white microcolonies covering the ant’s propleural plate. These colonies likely relate to an array of glands on the ant’s body that as thought to feed each colony of bacteria. Finally we also imaged the cultivar fungus to investigate how its structure related to its relationship with the ants. Interestingly, our images revealed patches of necrotic cultivar tissue, perhaps indicating the presence of a melanin-based immune system in this fungus. This has never been observed before, and whether it is caused by the ant or some other factor remains unknown. Together, these macrophotographic images allowed us to view our ants and their symbionts in unprecedented detail, and demonstrates the intimacy of the interactions that occur between them.
