Two years of protesting police shootings have achieved very little.
This is a fact beyond question.
Chicago YMCA stirs the pot
Submitted by Robyn on Mon, 07/18/2016 - 2:17pmYMCA of Metro Chicago has issued guidelines for accommodating transgender members and guests. They allow access to restrooms and changing areas matching gender identity.
The protocol was explained in a letter posted Wednesday on the organization's website. The YMCA of Metro Chicago said it also sent the letter to its 140,000 members at its 21 Chicagoland centers. The guidelines will cover all YMCA of Metro Chicago programs and services, from gym and pool facilities to summer camps and various classes. The policies wouldn't apply to some smaller, independent YMCA's in the Chicago area.
We recognize our commitment in support of the rights of all individuals can cause some to feel uncomfortable.. Again, it's our goal for all members to thrive at the Y, and this is why we will do our best to support each of you while maintaining an environment that reflects the inclusive values we share.
--Dick Malone, YMCA of Metro Chicago

Robert Reich Bites the Dust, Finally Goes There
Submitted by divineorder on Mon, 07/18/2016 - 5:49amHe apparently could not help himself. Sure, he was a Former Clinton Admin official.
In the last couple of years when he became involved with grassroots political activism over FB and at TOP, decided to give him another chance, then was happy to see that he endorsed Bernie, explained many issues in a way that a broader public could understand them. Critic of the status quo Dem Party and surely a thorn in the side of the DLC.
Trade in Services Agreement (TISA)
Submitted by birdiemom87 on Mon, 07/18/2016 - 12:34amI went to Wikileaks awhile back, looking for some good news (you guys know), and I found this, definitely news, but not good. Trade in Services Agreement, TISA for short.
"This corporatisation of public services - to nearly the same extent as demanded by the recently signed TPP - is a next step to privatisation of SOEs on the neoliberal agenda behind the "Big Three" (TTIP,TiSA,TPP)."
