Urgent: Presidential debates

samedi 13 juin 2015 à 14:00

US citizens: support Bernie Sanders' call to start presidential debates this year.

Death in prison

samedi 13 juin 2015 à 14:00

Prisoners in jail in Savannah have a way of dying there. Matthew Ajibade seems to have been bludgeoned to death.

The thugs say he had violently attacked them. It could be true, though we can't take their unsupported word for it. If it is true, that justified jailing him, but did not justify killing him.

Irish can legalize abortion

samedi 13 juin 2015 à 14:00

Since Irish have won legalization of same-sex marriage, they can win legalization of abortion if they try.

NY thugs' broken scheme

samedi 13 juin 2015 à 14:00

New York's thugs have not abandoned (as promised) the "broken windows" scheme in which they look (in certain minority areas) for minor excuses to give people trouble.

This scheme contributes to the criminalization of minorities.

Bratton's claim that it was responsible for reducing crime in New York City was based on coincidence — it was implemented at just the time crime began decreasing all across the US.

Harassment of anti-pipeline protesters

samedi 13 juin 2015 à 14:00

Anti-pipeline protesters are still being followed and harassed as suspected "terrorists" a year after the unwarranted investigation was formally shut down.

They think the US government is catering to Transcanada, the pipeline company.

It is Obama's duty to disallow the Keystone XL planet-roaster, and the fact that he has not done so leads me to think he is planning to approve it whenever he thinks he won't take heat for it. The heat will follow, a few decades from now.
