The war and famine in South Sudan continue, stirred up by rivalry between several meddling US client states.

Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan are ruled by tyrannical regimes that are willing to kill large numbers of people. Uganda does not have free and fair elections, but I don't think it is as repressive as those other three.

The UK Green Party calls for strong measures to help the non-rich, including a universal basic income.

Iranians just voted for better relations with the US. Too bad the troll wants to support the warlike Sunni murder-states instead.

100 students walked out on Pence as he addressed the graduation at Notre Dame.

The FCC received lots of comments opposed to network neutrality generated by bots, not submitted by human beings. Saboteur Ajit Pai suggests he will treat them as valid.
