Submitted by Shiz on Fri, 08/05/2016 - 8:41amI awoke very early this morning, from a bad dream. All I remember is that I was trying to protect someone and this Suicide Squad-type badass was going to waste us.
Hail To The Chief
Submitted by hecate on Fri, 08/05/2016 - 4:36amJiminy Chrismas. I go away from this place for a week, and, when I come back, everyone here is still obsessing about the 
president, and the politics?
So stupid. So boring.
Do people, here, not understand, that all such, has been obviated?
Because the Science Men? They have Confirmed? The president?

"Je Suis Charlie has become an arrogant rallying cry for white supremacy that was echoed at the white power march on Sunday in Paris and in....Charlie Hebdo"
Submitted by paradigmshift on Fri, 08/05/2016 - 3:17amI'd like to think of myself as someone who works to achieve peaceful resolution to disagreements. I am very future focused and tend to avoid conflict and in the case of verbal disagreements will defer to avoid conflict. That being said here I go.....Right now progressives need a leader and I thought that Jill Stein could be that person. But the selection of Ajamu Baraka has called into question that assumption.

A glimpse at how Millenials are being screwed

These and much more can be classified as "gig" work. Jobs you would normally think of as work for people without skills and an education.
That was the old days.

Fighting Fascism: "When Courage Goes Unrewarded" (Part I)
Submitted by JekyllnHyde on Thu, 08/04/2016 - 9:49pmIf a war resulting in tens of millions of casualties can be described as such, over the years World War II came to be known as the "Good War" for much of the Western world. It is often said that the victors of a war, any war, write its history. This is almost always true with perhaps one major exception.
The system is showing great stability
Submitted by don mikulecky on Thu, 08/04/2016 - 8:17pmThe system I speak about is the composite of political, economic and other facets of our world. We have seen it from a political perspective and this is myopic at best.
The latest threat to its stability was the disturbance caused by Bernie Sanders. The threat was not that he might become elected but that his words would really change people. Yes they did change people but not many in a way that really matters.
