Submitted by Roger Fox on Mon, 11/02/2015 - 9:20pmI went off the deep end, after swearing off campaigns after 2010, I'm now chest deep in my 14th campaign since 2004. So I put up a website westchester4bernie.org, got a NY state voter database for Westchester County, with no phone numbers. A Volunteer wrote a program to scrape phone numbers from White Pages & the Yellow pages, at a 42% hit rate.
Orange County swim school creates homeless veteran

Juliet Owen is a veteran. She served in the Marine Corps 1993-94, working in aviation electronics, until being honorably discharged after being diagnosed with chondromalacia (runner's knee). She is currently unemployed and homeless. Being a veteran she has managed to score housing in Long Beach's Villages at Cabrillo.
The reason for her jobless state is a sore point, however. Juliet has filed a wrongful termination complaint October 1 claiming gender identity discrimination against Australian Swim Schools, an Orange County swimming school with students aged three months to adult.
Owen said she had never experienced discrimination because of her transgender status until she moved from Virginia Beach, VA to southern California and began work as a swim instructor in May at Australian Swim Schools Anaheim location. After informing her boss that she is transgender, she was laid off a month later. She was told that not enough students had signed up for summer water safety classes, but when she visited the facility two weeks after her termination, she discovered three new employees.

America's First Mass Student Movement
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sat, 10/31/2015 - 6:27pmOn April 22, 1936, half a million college students nationwide walked out of class for the Third Annual Student Strike Against War.
As impressive as that sounds, it is even more impressive when you consider that in the mid-30's there was less than 1.5 million college students.
Tara Hudson transferred to women's prison
Submitted by Robyn on Sat, 10/31/2015 - 4:19pmFrom all outward appearances, Tara Hudson has a drinking problem.
It is not unusual to discover that transgender people self-medicate as we attempt to survive our dysphoria. Sometimes that continues to be a problem after we transition.
On a personal level, I will admit that I spent my entire transition stoned on marijuana 24/7.
Self-medicating can, of course, lead to encounters with the legal system. That appears to have generated a bunch of Tara's past history...which ended up biting her in the ass.
Tara is a make-up artist by trade. Last Boxing Day she imbibed too much, to the point that she was cut off by a bar manager. An argument ensued, during which Tara headbutted bar manager Christopher Dyer and was arrested. She admitted to the crime in Bristol Crown Court.
Despite the fact that she has lived her entire adult life as a woman and has had six years of sex-reassignment surgery, she was sentenced to serve twelve weeks in a prison for men because her passport still lists her as male.
