An architectural approach to the problem
Submitted by Robyn on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 1:59pmNew York architect Esther Sperber has been thinking about he problem. The solution she has arrived at is architectural in nature: Bathrooms By Size
Sperber suggests that labeling restrooms by size, as opposed to gender, would eliminate the arguments favoring “bathroom bills” like North Carolina’s House Bill 2, which effectively prohibit transgender people from using public facilities that correspond with the gender identity. In the clip, Sperber explains why she believes that such categorizing would not only function better for those who don’t fit into a traditional male/female gender binary, but also address other issues, like long lines at women’s restrooms.
I like to think that good architecture can solve problems,

Win
Submitted by apples123 on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 11:35amA lot has been made from the fact that Bernie Sanders was booed during a speech when he returned to his Congressional colleagues. What was his crime? He told a crowd full of career politicians that winning elections isn't the ONLY thing they should worry about. What is more important is transforming the country and making sure that all people have a decent standard of living. But these political goons were befuddled. Of course winning elections is the only thing that matters.
Many think that if Hillary is Indicted for Perjury she will not be charged by the FBI or DOJ and they may be right. But...
Submitted by Alphalop on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 11:09amand this is a big but and that is that I don't think the Senate and House Republicans will ONLY choose to refer it to the FBI and then the DOJ. (we know what the likely outcome of that based on the last bogus moves they pulled.
Looks like the DNC really did pick a winner after all!
Submitted by Alphalop on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 9:52amThat is, if you want the winner to be Donald Trump. (which I would accept over Clinton to be honest.)

Putting the Green Party on the Map
Submitted by Blueslide on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 8:34amNow that Bernie is focused on the Democratic Convention and the party platform, it's time for me to look for alternatives for President. Trump is out. I am not hip to the "survival of the fittest" Libertarian thing and lastly, four more years of neo-liberalism with her smugness is beyond comprehension.
