The bully's latest scheme for cruelty to people requesting asylum is to require them to live in Mexico while their cases are heard. That could mean months of starving or begging.

An Israeli dirty tricks group has got the Palestinian Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions campaign blocked from receiving donations via Donorbox.

I do not advocate the Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions campaign. (I advocate the boycott of products made in Israel's colonies in Palestinian territory, which was launched by Gush Shalom.) I would not donate to the BDS campaign. Nonetheless, it is a legitimate campaign and I condemn the dirty trick.

Is it possible to donate on Donorbox without running nonfree software (such as Javascript)? Based on what I've seen in other such sites, such as Patreon, I expect it is not. I would not donate to anyone or anything on Donorbox at the cost of my freedom. When I donate to organizations and campaigns, I do it by mailing a check.

The first step in learning the habit of standing up for your freedom is to give freedom priority.

Rabbits in England have become much fewer due to diseases.

I read that rabbits were introduced to England by the Norman conquerors, who wanted to raise them as they did in Normandy.

Nurses went on strike for one day against a hospital that was cutting their medical benefits, so the hospital locked them out.

This is part of increased militancy among nurses.

"Beto O'Rourke is the new Obama. And that's the last thing we need."

The misguided idea of choosing candidates by their demographics gives plutocrats and banksters (who are not stupid) a way to distract us from focusing on ending plutocracy. They did this with Obama (from a disprivileged group, blacks) and Clinton (from a disprivileged group, women), and they are now trying to do this with O'Rourke (from a disprivileged group, Hispanics).

A candidate from such a group is likely to work to protect that group from bigotry at the individual level. For instance, Obama knows what it is like to face retail racism, and Clinton knows what it is like to face retail sexism. Both of them have worked to oppose those.

However, neither of them is committed to ending wholesale racism and sexism, because they tie in with plutocracy. Those two bent the knee to plutocracy decades ago, and they don't have the heroism and audacity it would take to turn against the masters they have obeyed for so long. O'Rourke doesn't either.

We know Sanders can and will oppose them, because he has spent his life fighting them.
