Pennsylvania's Supreme Court invalidated the Republican gerrymander.

Debate declined

mercredi 24 janvier 2018 à 01:00

Amnesty International declined to hold a debate between supporters and opponents of Israeli colonies in Palestinian territory.

I think this is valid. Amnesty supports the boycott of products made those colonies, and therefore does not want to appear neutral.

Amnesty International campaigns against censorship, but that doesn't mean it is obligated to offer a platform to those who disagree with it.

I hope the hosts of the debate find a different place to hold it.

Some progressive elected officials are calling for cities to use collective bargaining in dealing with Amazon's plan to make them bid against each other.

I proposed something like that in 2003.
