Had this law gone into effect, it would have ended access to safe, legal abortion at all but one health center in Arkansas.

A federal judge Monday issued a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of a new state law restricting use of the abortion pill until a lawsuit challenging the law is resolved.

The census is no longer anonymous ... and this is such a bad thing that I agree with the IPA's Chris Berg.
“Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” – Edward Snowden

The debate over warrantless mandatory data retention was just the tip of the iceberg, as the ABS's removal of census anonymity demonstrates.

When you get in the voting booth to pull the lever of your war criminal of choice. Remember you are actually pulling the trigger of a gun aimed at the head of a child in the middle east or elsewhere.

‪#‎Racism‬ - Stanton joins a long list of prominent Americans who have rejected the real estate billionaire's bigoted stances toward Muslims and minorities, including 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Fellow candidates Marco Rubio and John Kasich even recently indicated they may not endorse Trump if he wins the nomination.

"The hateful one is you," Stanton wrote in a post attacking Trump's anti-Islam, anti-minority agenda.

Quite often now I feel a greasy, slippery, queasy ghost of a feeling, like the 'someone stepping over your grave' saying is meant to impart. And this feeling, this feeling is about the people around me, the public, the people who are letting this happen, the people who historically would have been the 'good Germans'. Stand in the street, look around at the people around you, what are they doing to be engaged in democracy and fight this criminal regime, mostly I fear they are doing nothing. They might read the odd newspaper or read/hear news, making them all prey to the manufacturing of neoliberal consent. Possibly the least aware people are the ones who do costume a lot of media thinking the BBC, The Times or Guardian and Channel Four, BBC Radio Four present to them an unvarnished truth. Or the weekly pantomimes of PMQ's and BBCQT.
I don't think people are 'bad' but that in such a highly sophisticated environment where ideological messaging appears on every surface, every device, every item of clothing even, most are not doing the due diligence to counter the power of hegemony. So the queasy pondering asks: who amongst these strangers passing me would stand up and say no to the others who would load us into cattle trucks and put us in camps? EXCEPT there will be no camps no mass solution, no obvious singular moment that it becomes obvious. We are killed in atomised neglect, each person's means to live taken away via multiple bureaucratic tortures and we become hopeless, homeless, income less and lifeless. Bureaucratic tortures that incidentally are performed by humans with bills to pay, locked into a network of debt they must service, 'a job'.
So not even a noticeable thing to oppose but a long drawn out process of democide that would require a lot of work by people to identify and oppose, so what hope the person in the street with their own worries and entertainments? Hmmm. Historically the atrocity has to happen before things can get better, which is not so great news for the targets of the atrocity.



"Dimock was the scene of the most highly publicized case of methane contamination to emerge from the early days of Pennsylvania's natural-gas drilling boom. State regulators blamed faulty gas wells drilled by Cabot for leaking combustible methane into Dimock's groundwater.
The rural community became a national battleground in environmental activists' fight against fracking, and its plight was featured in the Emmy-winning 2010 documentary "Gasland."

A federal jury has awarded two couples nearly $4.25 million after finding one of the largest natural gas drillers in Pennsylvania polluted their well water.…

I have a particular relationship to bullies. When I was a kid – and a very short one at that – older boys used to threaten me, and sometimes beat me up. Occasionally I was protected from the bullies by kinder older boys, like Mickey Schwerner. Years later, in the summer of 1964, Mickey was trying to register voters in Mississippi when he and two other civil rights workers, Andrew Goodman and James Earl Chaney, were abducted, tortured, murdered, and buried in an earthen dam by members of the local White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Neshoba County Sheriff's Office, and the Philadelphia, Mississippi Police Department.
When I heard that the young man who had protected me from my bullies had himself been killed by truly monstrous bullies, my life forever changed.
Donald Trump is a bully who’s stirring up other bullies to rage against Latinos, blacks, Muslims, and other convenient scapegoats – channeling the fears and resentments of the white working class into hatefulness and violence. He deserves to be condemned by every decent American.
HAH! The hypocrisy, it "berns." He never met a war funding bill he didn't vote yay on. He's said he will continue statusQUObama's drone murder program. He's a supporter of the zionist's genocide in Palestine. And this is nothing new from him:
"During the 1990s, the not-so “independent” Congressman Sanders voted for and/or otherwise supported:
* Economic sanctions that killed more than a million Iraqi civilians
* Every U.S. bombing of Iraq from 1992 on
* The sending of U.S. military units to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to threaten Iraq because “we cannot tolerate aggression”
* The objectively racist and mass-incarcerationist Federal Crime bill.
* Every US intervention since elected to Congress–Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Liberia, Zaire (Congo), Albania, Sudan, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia."
