There was a very interesting document leak over the weekend, and it casts a whole new light over America's strategy in Libya.

At some point during the Republican National Convention, the following advertisement is scheduled to appear (actually it will appear the night of the acceptance speech, I hear).

Forgive me everyone for posting video today rather than writing a blog post. It's be been a y busy and exhausting weekend for me the work I'm doing for The People's Convention, now less than two weeks away. So, in lieu of an essay, here is my latest, "Monday, Monday: My visit to an AME Church, BLM arrests in my hometown & Who is Hillary Clinton."

These people SO need to jump the gun, that they can't wait a few days to have the nomination be official! What nerve!

For leftists, Cuba has always been kind of like the promised land. The country that has stood up to the imperialist giant to the North — the United States For the past 60 plus years, it is Cuba that has led the fight for liberation and socialist struggles both in Latin America and around the world.

Saturday I drove up to Philadelphia to check out the Socialist Alternative/Movement4Bernie presentation which featured video messages from Jill Stein and Kshama Sawant. Cheri Honakala, Jill Stein's vice presidential partner on the 2012 Green Party ticket was present and spoke at the meeting.

Jill Stein called for the creation of a united party of the 99%, without corporate money or influence, joining the people energized by the Sanders campaign and the various fragmented groups of the left end of the political spectrum. Stein gave a brief run through of the highlights of her platform that mostly coincide with Sanders' platform demands.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a worker identified as Jonathan Wolfe against Bojangles Restaurants, Inc. Wolfe was employed at a Bojangels in Fayetteville, NC.

According to the release, Wolfe "was repeatedly subjected to offensive comments about her gender identity and appearance. The belittling statements often demanded that Wolfe, who identifies and presents as a woman, engage in behavior and grooming practices that are stereotypically male, because that is the sex Wolfe was assigned at birth."

The release said derogatory comments about Wolfe continued, even after she had reported them on at least two occasions.

Wolfe was fired shortly after complaining about the statements.
