University branches in the UAE

jeudi 29 novembre 2018 à 01:00

British universities need to break off ties with their branches in the UAE, which is not a safe place to do research in.

I feel that the very idea of opening a branch of a prestigious university in another country (or even a distant city) is misguided. A university should be independent; we should not have conglomerates of universities.

As Critics Obsess Over Her Finances, Ocasio-Cortez Urges Media to Focus on Issue 'Actually Worth Airtime': Low-Wage Jobs.

Ojeda on abortion rights

jeudi 29 novembre 2018 à 01:00

Richard Ojeda says he firmly supports abortion rights, and that he calls himself "pro-life" because he wants to make reliable contraception available to all women so that they won't need abortions often.

He wants to take the term "pro-life" away from the campaign against abortion rights.

I can support his views on this issue. However, my choice for president is still Bernie Sanders, partly because I expect him to stand for similar policies about abortion and contraception.

Separated families

The US has still not reunited all the minors (including some young children) that it took away from their parents.

The bully's policy of deporting relatives that offer to sponsor these minors has resulted in their being stuck in prison long-term.

Truths from the bully

jeudi 29 novembre 2018 à 01:00

In between all the lies, the bully has occasionally told the truth in ways that centrist politicians wouldn't have dared.

Unfortunately, given his tendency to be totally inconsistent, the fact that he admits these forbidden truths once in a while gives us no basis to expect him to do anything good about them.
