BLM. A Sister Souljah moment?
Submitted by EdMass on Fri, 07/08/2016 - 1:42pmAnd then there is Dallas.
Despite all protestations BLM will not be able to separate themselves from these assassinations.
DNC and BCC have immediately attempted to distance themselves.
It is too bad. They like Occupy had something right. But this leaderless stuff never works.
So, what happens at the DNC Convention? They're going onstage to grab the mic? They can get into the hall and be warmly received? I'm guessing Nancy and Harry ain't on board anymore.
Florida Rep Corrine Brown indicted on fraud and corruption charges
Submitted by BayAreaLefty on Fri, 07/08/2016 - 1:02pmThis is great news. First this is good because it shows that at least some pols will be held accountable for their bad behavior. Second, because she's an obstacle to progress in general.

Submitted by Meteor Man on Fri, 07/08/2016 - 12:21pmUnfucking believeable!
The natural gas storage field in California that last year experienced the largest methane leak in U.S. history suffered another leak over the weekend that was quickly stopped, officials reported Wednesday.
Keep it in the ground!

on Chomsky and the lesser evil
Submitted by bunsk on Fri, 07/08/2016 - 12:16pmI should start by saying that for me, listening to Noam speak about US foreign policy or our politics is spiritual, like going to church and seeing the light of God. The things he says are usually so self evident as to seem obvious, and another person whose speech shares that self evidence is Bernie Sanders. If anybody knows Shillary's deal, it's Chomsky.
Nope - Bernie did NOT definitively say he'd endorse to my ears
Submitted by MsGrin on Fri, 07/08/2016 - 12:15pmIt was claimed that Bernie said definitively that he would endorse on the Charlie Rose show (where Al Hunt is sitting in). I don't hear it that way - listen for yourself - the endorsement conversation is at the beginning:
