It's the unwritten rule of diplomacy to never speak the truth.

Talkin' 'bout a Revolution
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Wed, 01/13/2016 - 12:23pmReally, it's time. Even Bernie Sanders is talkin' 'bout a revolution. It's legal and not at all scary, though the government's though control police have been splitting skulls and worse for longer than anybody can remember in an attempt to keep the lid on. But, hell, they shoot and kill people just for being uppity, or insufficiently subservient, so there is no extra penalty involved in being out there.

Submitted by ek hornbeck on Tue, 01/12/2016 - 7:17pmObama is an Open Failure, as a president and as a human being. In the 8 years of his Administration he has delivered on hardly a single promise he has made during his campaigns and in his State of the Union addresses.

New England's professional sports teams back transgender equality
Submitted by Robyn on Tue, 01/12/2016 - 2:08pmThe New England Patriots, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, and New England Revolution have all announced their support of legislation that would guarantee protections for transgender people in public accommodations in Massachusetts.
The Boston Red Sox announced their support in November.
I think that having not only New England’s most prominent cultural institutions, but also frankly the most iconic public accommodations that come with that — Fenway Park, TD Garden — really sends the message.
This issue has become mainstream and widely accepted.
