Discrimination is international

 photo Mr. C_zpssr2qglt2.jpgYesterday in southern China a labor arbitration panel held a hearing in China's first legal case claiming employment discrimination on the basis of gender identity.

"I wish I could go in"

I knew I'd lost my chance. It was 7:44 am and I knew that the venue where Bernie Sanders was holding a town hall event today in my city had opened at seven to allow people to enter. I had meant to get up at 5:00 am, but I'd had a rough night. Pain in my shoulder, pain in my left hip, pain in my neck. The kind of pain that keeps you awake, that doesn't give you a moment's peace. Pain that was worse than usual for me, and a sure sign that my autoimmune symptoms had flared up.

Democratic State Party Arse holes

At first, I could see human error coming into play. The second time, er, I still was not convinced. I just distrust CT after being burned by one some years ago. But after then 3d, 4th, 5th, etc., example, you have to set aside any uncertainty and realize just how rigged the game has become.

The chance for a new progressive era - and why Clinton can't be its champion

Quite a lot of people argue that an authentic progressive candidate has no chance to become the president of the US because his or her policies are too radical. Two decades ago I would have agreed. But now the times are different. In the following, I will present theory-based arguments about the chance for a new progressive era.

Bernie's Tax Return

There’s been a great deal of outrage expressed by many people that Bernie Sanders has not released much about his Federal Tax Returns to the public. This is true. He hasn’t. For all I know he hasn’t filed his 2016 one yet (it isn’t due until April 18th this year). Or maybe he has filed it, but something deep and dark and sinister exists that will forever taint his personal and political legacy, and thus, for good reason he and his advisers have decided not to make it public.
