Urgent: Media coverage of Amazon fires

US citizens: call on media to cover the fires in the Amazon as much as they covered the fire in Notre Dame cathedral.

Urgent: Domestic Workers Bill of Rights

vendredi 30 août 2019 à 02:00

US citizens: call on Congress to support the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act.

The article brings up race in a way that is not truly pertinent. The US society of extreme inequality dumps injustice on the poor, and due to racism and other forms of prejudice, members of disprivileged groups are more likely to be poor. Therefore, many unrelated injustices hit them harder, including the mistreatment of domestic workers.

But we don't need to refer to that to justify this bill, because it is a simple matter of right and wrong. Domestic workers deserve justice regardless of their demographics and regardless of whether they suffer from prejudice.

Correction on Gun Control Note

jeudi 29 août 2019 à 02:00

In 2018 I thought I understood an article to say that military-style rifles make wounds that are more likely to kill or maim than ordinary hunting rifles. I posted about that, and referred back to it several times.

Later it was pointed out to me that the article was really comparing rifles to handguns.

This led me to change my conclusions, so I have changed that 2018 political note.

"Centrist" Democrats

Plutocratist "centrist" Democrats could lose the next election. They could also kill you, some decades down the line.
