Gerrymandering is a very funny word for a very big deal in the US. The practice of redrawing district lines to gain political advantage has been under intense scrutiny lately, as Florida’s use of using prison populations to manipulate voting districts has been deemed unconstitutional and similar practices in Virginia’s will be looked into by the Supreme Court.
A federal judge ruled on Monday that Florida’s practice of using prison populations to manipulate voting districts is unconstitutional, perhaps…

"When my employer tried to prevent me from accessing birth control, I didn’t know where to turn. I work at a Catholic university, and I love my job. But I knew that if I spoke up, I could be at risk of getting fired. Unfortunately, my story is not rare; it’s far too common for religiously affiliated employers to try and deny birth control coverage to their employees."

The Supreme Court must protect the rights of women to make their own family planning decisions.

"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

In an email from August 29 2008 that has just been made available to search by Wikileaks, a senior government staffer writes to Hillary Clinton, “With fingers crossed, the old rabbit’s foot out of the box in the attic, I will be sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch . . .”

Who is bombing European civilians? Why do such sophisticated terrorists have no strategy that advances whatever their 'Muslim' or 'Middle Eastern' goals are? Did the terrorists, when they were planning today's attacks, not know that Brussels is home to both the military and civilian HQs of NATO, which is surely their number one target? In fact, why is it that their stupendously successful operations always end up advancing *Western* (especially US) interests. Because the terrorists are not who you think they are...

The last time a wave of bomb attacks were carried out against European civilian targets, 'leftist' or 'communist' groups were blamed. Eventually the truth came out that those groups were deliberately framed and the real perpetrators were...

* Colour me stupid. Why does loyalty to Israel figure as a basic need ? Not that ongoing fiscal policies indicate anything less.

"If Trump’s racism or policy proposals shock us, then so too should AIPAC. If the other candidates’ dehumanizing rhetoric about Palestinians makes us uncomfortable, then so too should AIPAC. If the claim that the BDS movement—a nonviolent movement that includes many Jews and emphasizes human rights—is essentially anti-Semitic confounds us, then so too should AIPAC. AIPAC represents everything we should seek to purge from politics: racism, inhumanity, fear-mongering, and entrenched commitment to the status quo."

‪#‎NotJustPIP‬ The govt & media focus on a change in PIP, as if reversing that makes everything ok (when PIP itself, as it was, is a system deigned to cut 500,000 people in a target pre announced years ago). That's like stabbing someone all over their body then putting a plaster over the graze on their nose. Below are cuts that have already happened and there are more as well as 6 years of govt & media villification that libelled us as frauds and scroungers. The govt, to undo the damage and regain any trust, have a profound mountain to climb and I see no evidence they even want to. So if anyone takes the climbdown on PIP as job done the Tories have finally listened and acted better, they are a frickin' eejit.

By 2014, food speculation by banks and hedge funds had risen to $126bn, a figure that has doubled from 2008. From 2000 to 2015 global food prices rose a staggering 94 percent and although they have been falling consistently over the last year, prices are still only 14 percent lower than all-time highs.
