"When my employer tried to prevent me from accessing birth control, I didn’t know where to turn. I work at a Catholic university, and I love my job. But I knew that if I spoke up, I could be at risk of getting fired. Unfortunately, my story is not rare; it’s far too common for religiously affiliated employers to try and deny birth control coverage to their employees."

Deepwater drilling is known to pose challenges which are insurmountable. Nor is spraying Corexit sane. Time to ( finally ) get Kevin Costner's oil skimmers into action...there is oil seepage already in the Gulf of Mexico. It never stopped.

#Nuclear Plant Leak Threatens Drinking #Water Wells in #Florida -#MIAMI — When Florida’s largest power company added two nuclear reactors to an existing plant that sat between two national parks —Biscayne Bay and the #Everglades — the decision raised the concerns of environmentalists and some government officials about the possible effects on water quality and #marine life. Now more than four decades later, Florida Power & Light’s reactors at Turkey Point, built to satisfy the power needs of a booming Miami, are facing their greatest crisis. A recent study commissioned by the county concluded that Turkey Point’s old cooling canal system was leaking polluted water into #Biscayne Bay.
"With the Iraq invasion 13 years behind us, one thing is for sure: you can turn on Sunday morning television and see an Iraq war advocate – whether it’s a politician or pundit or a journalist – eagerly explaining why we should throw ourselves into our next war and no one will blink an eye."
Shame on us.

"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

"Mr. Cruz’s call for law enforcement to 'patrol and secure' neighborhoods in which American Muslim families live is not only unconstitutional, it is unbefitting anyone seeking our nation’s highest office and indicates that he lacks the temperament necessary for any president."
The Pentagon have announced plans to build a new £200 million spy center in the UK this week, which will act as the U.S. military headquarters for all military data in Europe and Africa.
A solar company believes it has found the answer to the energy storage mystery: salt. The Los Angeles Times reports.
In an email from August 29 2008 that has just been made available to search by Wikileaks, a senior government staffer writes to Hillary Clinton, “With fingers crossed, the old rabbit’s foot out of the box in the attic, I will be sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch . . .”
Though filled with "red meat" for pro-Israeli government supporters, Clinton' speech "contained scant reference to the peace process."
To successfully push towards peace, said Bernie Sanders, the U.S. must "be a friend not only to Israel, but to the Palestinian people, where in Gaza, unemployment today is 44 percent and the poverty rate is almost as high. That cannot be ignored."
Who is bombing European civilians? Why do such sophisticated terrorists have no strategy that advances whatever their 'Muslim' or 'Middle Eastern' goals are? Did the terrorists, when they were planning today's attacks, not know that Brussels is home to both the military and civilian HQs of NATO, which is surely their number one target? In fact, why is it that their stupendously successful operations always end up advancing *Western* (especially US) interests. Because the terrorists are not who you think they are...
"Can't say it enough," said Glenn Greenwald following the speech, "the ability/willingness of progressives to simply ignore all this is breathtaking."
A newly-released Hilary Clinton email confirmed that the Obama administration has deliberately provoked the civil war in Syria as the “best way to help Israel.”
In her speech to AIPAC, Hillary Clinton said that that American leaders needed to show loyalty to Israel* and "anyone who doesn't understand that has no business being our president."
* Colour me stupid. Why does loyalty to Israel figure as a basic need ? Not that ongoing fiscal policies indicate anything less.
"If Trump’s racism or policy proposals shock us, then so too should AIPAC. If the other candidates’ dehumanizing rhetoric about Palestinians makes us uncomfortable, then so too should AIPAC. If the claim that the BDS movement—a nonviolent movement that includes many Jews and emphasizes human rights—is essentially anti-Semitic confounds us, then so too should AIPAC. AIPAC represents everything we should seek to purge from politics: racism, inhumanity, fear-mongering, and entrenched commitment to the status quo."

#NotJustPIP The govt & media focus on a change in PIP, as if reversing that makes everything ok (when PIP itself, as it was, is a system deigned to cut 500,000 people in a target pre announced years ago). That's like stabbing someone all over their body then putting a plaster over the graze on their nose. Below are cuts that have already happened and there are more as well as 6 years of govt & media villification that libelled us as frauds and scroungers. The govt, to undo the damage and regain any trust, have a profound mountain to climb and I see no evidence they even want to. So if anyone takes the climbdown on PIP as job done the Tories have finally listened and acted better, they are a frickin' eejit.
Makes sense to us that a marine biologist is behind this great idea!
