Sometimes "Democrats" Confuse Me

Submitted by LaFeminista on Sat, 07/23/2016 - 1:20am

Some seem to be cheering on Ted Cruz as some sort of foil against Trump, nothing that odious fart has to say interests me one iota.

Next Hillary chooses Tim Kaine as her potential VP, it's seems as anything that might give the left of the party some hope is to be avoided at all costs. Yet they seem conditioned to accept and applaud the choice no matter what they actually think of it, all this choice seems to give them is more right to shout at us "lefties" about voting and stuff.

I cane to Virginia in 1973 and after being in the front lines in the protest movement was shocked by how out of it they were here. My first joke was "What do you call a Virginia Democrat in the rest of the country?....Answer: a republican.

Teacher Unions endorse support for trans students

The American Federation of Teachers , meeting in Minneapolis this past week, passed a resolution in support of LGBTQ students and staff.

The resolution is called School Safety and Educational Opportunity for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning Students

As chair of the AFT’s Pride Caucus and a national board member of Pride at Work the fact that my union and America’s teachers are dedicating themselves to protecting students based on sexual orientation and gender identity means a lot.

The rush to control borders and stop migration by excessive rhetoric and measures is non productive at best and generally counter productive.

You have Trump in the US we have Marine LePen over here, the let's hide behind walls brigade as it were. It's as if we can somehow cut ourselves off from the world in general, even if our governments have caused a lot of the problems in the first place.

The French Connection: How the US & French Governments Are Slipping Into Darkness

Submitted by CaptainPoptart on Fri, 07/22/2016 - 9:53am

The so-called left wing French government is looking more and more like its neoliberal US counterpart, and the similarities are hardly complimentary. With the news of the horrendous terrorist truck attack in Nice still fresh in the media and in people’s minds, another story about France flew below the radar. On July 1st France broke its own record for the number of its citizens incarcerated, with almost 70,000 people in prison.
