UK discrimination for attending state schools

dimanche 5 février 2023 à 06:32

Calling for the UK to ban work discrimination against workers for having attended state schools ("public schools", as we call them in the US).

Traffic stops

dimanche 5 février 2023 à 06:32

The history of the "traffic stop" in the US, and how it inevitably became a vehicle for racism and violence.

The article recommends that traffic enforcement be done by unarmed personnel.

The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I denounce bigotry, and normally I will not link to articles that promote it. But I make exceptions for some articles that I consider particularly important. Most often they give important information about racism or the fight against racism.

Battle over budget

*Battle Over Budget a Great Moment [for Biden] to Envision a Better, More Equally Prosperous Nation.*

Chechnya and Ukraine together

dimanche 5 février 2023 à 01:47

Chechen militia battalions, composed of volunteers, fight for Ukraine, hoping to bring about indirectly the removal of Putin's control over Chechnya.

Pharmacy owners' financial threat

dimanche 5 février 2023 à 01:47

Republican-dominated states are threatening to sue pharmacy chains claiming that mailing abortion drugs to people in those states would be a crime under those states' laws. This is an attempt to intimidate them into never trying to do so.

The US government claims that those threats are invalid, and eventually a court will decide. But the Republicans can hope by this threat to cause lasting life difficulties for tens of thousands of women, even if they later lose the lawsuit.
