Submitted by divineorder on Fri, 06/24/2016 - 11:33amMet English guy the other day here in Kruger National Park in South Africa who told of traveling around as a young man in Germany with a mate tabling the promotion of the benefits of formation of EU. He said the friend he had tabled with was coming to the park, but now was a supporter of UK leaving the EU.
Jakkalbessie and I have been traveling since mid April and only read headlines on Google News about the vote in UK on whether to stay or go. Saw occasional FB posts as well.

Brexit: Onward and Upward or Down and Out
Submitted by hawkingfan on Fri, 06/24/2016 - 6:44am(jjohnsit and Scizor99 have blogs on this story. My knowledge of EU banking, and British law are very limited. This is my first blog, please let me know if it could be improved or needs corrections)
I was not really expecting the referendum would win the vote. I’ll leave the analysis to the professional experts. This is what I could find to help me wade through the media fog of breathless “latest new thing” reporting.
Why the Brexit result may be bad
Submitted by Scizor99 on Fri, 06/24/2016 - 5:11amI know many of us on the other side of the Atlantic are bewildered at how the campaign to leave the EU can be so dominated by the right.

Submitted by Robyn on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 2:17pmThe US DoE's Office of Civil Rights yesterday announced that Dorchester County School District Two in South Carolina has entered into a voluntary agreement to stop discriminating against a transgender elementary school student. THE OCR had found that the district was in violation of Title IX's prohibition on sex-based discrimination.
I commend Dorchester County School District Two for committing to protect the civil rights of all students and ensuring that all students have equal access to education programs and activities.

What This Has Always Been About
Submitted by Rusty1776 on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 1:30pmProgressives have always fought for racial equality, for social and economic and environmental justice. That's what we believe in, that's who we are and that's what we do. We've seen Democrats betray us and there will be no forgiveness, we've seen defeats and they've been traumatic, we've seen long years of reactionary attacks, but we're still standing, we do not repent of all the trouble we've endured along the way, our marks and our scars we carry with us.
