House Bill H.R. 193
This bill removes the US from the United Nations. The United Nations provides for worldwide cooperation, and is home to such institutions as the International Court of Justice, the World Health Organization, and UNESCO. The United Nations prosecutes war crimes, provides aid during public health crises, provides aid to struggling countries,deploys peacekeepers to war zones, and aims to protect the cultural heritage of the world.
If you live in the US, regardless of your political leanings–call your representatives. Do not let this go through.
Media is reporting that protesters “believe” Trump made misogynistic remarks during his candidacy and beforehand. We don’t “believe” Trump made misogynistic remarks. We know it. it’s a fact.
Carolina Herrera, Spring 2017
This [election] is the end result of a disgusting and unrepentant form of nihilism rooted in the belief that practically everyone is hopelessly corrupt and compromised, that there is no usefulness in trying to change or reform existing systems, leaves very little — if any — room for good people to make mistakes in judgement, ruthlessly purges people for being imperfect, and mandates that the current society must be completely burned down and destroyed by a massive revolt of the people to allow the ideologically pure to gain control and build a utopia for all to prosper.

The architects and cheerleaders of the Republican party’s policies are, with a few exceptions, white people. The voters they turn out in midterm and presidential elections are, with a few exceptions, white people. Their opposition to the president and to Democrats didn’t need to be racist in order to be racialized. Those demographic facts were true long before Obama, but his presidency and the monochromatic opposition party arrayed in lockstep against him certainly seemed to cast those dynamics into sharper relief. There was no way to unsee it.
