It's hilarious.
Someone asked me why I wouldn't stay and fight for Bernie, what the hell is the point they are just making up shit [like their heroine] as they go along. Why stay and fight when they have zero intention of listening?
Whaaa...? Could it be that a CIA Operative is actually going to Prison for "Extraordinary Rendition"?
Sabrina De Sousa is one of 26 CIA employees convicted in absensia of kidnapping Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, aka Abu Omar off the streets of Milan, "The cleric was flown to Egypt, where he was beaten and subjected to electric shock but eventually released."
Thanks, Trevor Noah, for (not) acknowledging that Howard Dean is a SURROGATE for Hillary Clinton:
Dean endorsed Clinton in December, snubbing Sanders, who is currently mounting an insurgent presidential bid similar to one Dean ran 11 years ago. And Dean appears to be stepping up his work for the former secretary of state’s campaign as the threat from Sanders becomes more real.
We are concerned right now with electing Bernie, but we are also aware of the much larger issue of climate change and of how the results of this election will affect our nation's response to the peril.
Jacqui Oesterblad from Liberal with Words has one of the best responses to the "bathroom bill" controversy that I have read in a while.
Controversy over transgender people’s access to public bathrooms is not new—Arizona had a bathroom bill fight back in 2013. But the issue has risen to prominence in the past few weeks because of the recent hubbub in North Carolina, where the backlash to the bathroom bill led Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams to cancel concerts, PayPal and Deutsche Bank to cancel planned expansions, and porn site XHamster to shut down access from North Carolina-based IP addresses. The consequences for North Carolina may even include the loss of over $4.3 billion dollars in federal education funding.
Why, despite the economic and legal consequences, do states like North Carolina fight so hard to prevent transgender people from peeing?
The far-right likes to claim they are fighting to protect women and children.
So let’s talk about some little girls who need to be protected.
It took me some days to digest the NY primary but now I regrouped emotionally and would like to share some thoughts.
A view about what happened:
(1) The NY primary was stolen by voter suppression and, possibly, by fraud.

Lani Guinier was right when she argued our electoral system is deeply flawed. Though we don't have a Tyranny of the Majority so much in America, as a tyranny of two minority parties, who have blocked access to any attempt to wrestle away their hold on political power. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Who is this Lani Guinier person of whom you speak, Steven, and what, if anything does she have to do with the Clintons?
