Holy shit! :
This makes it all the more important that the leaked documents are properly investigated — and has contributed to mounting criticism of ICIJ, which vets the journalists and media who are allowed to access the files pertaining to each country, and has adopted an exclusive trickle-down approach to the investigation.
Following a fascinating discussion of efforts by the left and right to bowlderize American literature and using H.P. Lovecraft's blatant racism as an example The Archdruid gives us a homework assignment:

Symone Sanders quits as national press secretary for Bernie Sanders
LOS ANGELES—Bernie Sanders’ national press secretary, one of the most prominent women of color and young people in presidential politics, said Sunday that she has left the campaign.
No, that's not really a jab at the GOS. It is my little term summing up all that has been going on with the DNC and All Trump All the Time.
I had a very nice lunch with OPOL and nancyjones last Thursday. We met at Pho Dai Loi #2 on Buford Hwy in Atlanta. We talked about the state of things with TOP and with the Primary. They ordered Bun Tom, a vermicelli salad with shrimp; I had pho bo vien. It's very good.
Criminalizing Poverty 1 focused on L.A.'s "Safer Cities Initiative" which was launched by Mayor Villaragosa in 2006 and enforced by the LAPD under Chief Bratton.
I also included a devastating 2006 critique by UCLA Professor Blasi as well as background info about the rolr of The Manhattan Institute and Broken Windows fanboy George Kellering.
Today let's start with Chris Hedges:
Don't know what this means, but we know that Bernie is not happy with limited progress on DNC platform.

Plenty more to discuss in the coming weeks on Brexit but for today’s purposes, as much as the EU has facilitated some environmental agreements such as the recent Paris COP21, there still is ”...the need for a mass social movement addressing both the urgent need for climate action and an agenda for social justice”.
When it comes right down to it, labels like "republican" and "democrat" take a back seat to what's really important: heeding the demands of the $$$ behind all of them that the current regime of unaccountable looting be upheld at all costs. Thus, you see establishment "left" and, in a slightly less open manner, establishment "right" falling in line to elect $ellery, because the $$$ knows their game will be safe in her hands.
Unlike OT, we are free-wheeling. But there were occasional demographics surveys. Those got a little too-specific, like income, I don't care about that. OT, it seemed to sort mostly male. Sorry you who may have chromosome one way and beliefs the other. Or something. Poorly designed question. Age range might be nice.
My sense is that we run about 50/50 XX/XY. Does that sound less-judgemental?
There are all sorts of stories about how Brexit might be annulled.
The most interesting one is how Scotland will veto it.
