Sanders winning the internet

Why Bernie Sanders is Winning the Internet.

Imprisoning and torturing protesters

samedi 13 février 2016 à 01:00

Egypt's foreign minister, visiting the US, defended Egypt's practice of imprisoning people by the hundreds for protesting, then torturing them in jail for years pending a farce of a trial.

Isn't it a shame that such a person gets invited to meet the US government?

Isn't it a bigger shame that the US's own conduct does not provide a clear rebuke to Egypt?

Special passports for "sex offenders"

The US now has a law to give "sex offenders" special passports that will expose them to harassment.

This lumps rapists together with teenagers that sext (which may be foolish but should not be a crime at all).

Some states are thinking of converting sexting into a misdemeanor. While that might reduce the harm done by prosecuting them, it is not a real solution.

It also occurs to me that if having a copy of your own nude photo becomes a felony when you reach 18 years of age, many will become felons without noticing.
