Rap Record Hoarder posted:Apparently, the US created and implemented a fake twitter-esque service to foment rebellion in Cuba against Castro and they did it under the guise of "humanitarian outreach" via the USAID. In the big scheme of things this isn't surprising in the least, it's hilarious in a really hosed up way. I mean, this is the stuff conspiracy theorists dream of, something out of a Tom Clancy novel. hooooly poo poo this is incredible. What a ridiculous subversion of the organization's mission. "Whiteytarian outreach"

radical meme posted:Whatever the date is, South Carolina is determined to be the first state to give that little guy the right to Stand his Ground. My fiancée is currently the only person trying to stop this from making it to law. It's a horrible combination of classic progressive problems: She's a state level organization so six weeks ago when this bill first became a thing, she reached out to ALL of her national partners for assistance because their specialty is teen pregnancy and they have little grounding in gun rights. Not one of her partners, domestic violence groups, the NAACP, minority outreach no one, got back to her. Because here in gosh darn South Carolina we just don't matter on a national stage. Now that she's invoked the "Stand Your Ground" verbiage (literally, that's all this is about, the words), every one of these organizations is making GBS threads on her for various reasons. She's been accused of being a white woman co opting the black community's struggle. They started the campaign today and already they're taking flak, but frankly, nobody helped her out a month ago, and she couldn't just not try something, so this is what she came up with. I think it's fine, and she's gotten crazy support from our local advocates and such, so I'm pretty proud of the attention it's gotten (FINALLY). Been a helluva legislative session here in the second worst state in the union. Thanks Mississippi, you've always got our back.

Chris Christie posted:
how does this do anything other than prove his point? So to follow up on my fiancee's efforts to stop the personhood-masked-in-Stand-Your-Ground-rhetoric bill here in South Carolina's legislature: Basically her press releases last Friday got HuffPo, ThinkProgress, Jezebel, RawStory and any number of local news outlets from as far away as Tulsa turned on to the story. There's no way this bill passes now, although a local partner apparently said that if there's anything they'd prefer to trade to Senator Lee "Too Stupid To Breathe" Bright for a compromise on other womens' rights bills, it's this one. The national partner who had called that evening to bitch her out for race-baiting and co-opting "the language of an African-American issue" never called back and simply posted "Congratulations" on her Facebook page this morning. Now if only we were making progress instead of just stopping regress in this state Also the sponsor/"author" of the bill (Americans United for Life wrote it and gave it to her) is local idiot Katrina Shealy who, via her social media outlets and response to the outrage, has basically been on her back foot this week because it's clear she simply DOES NOT UNDERSTAND the broad implications of legislation she supports.

Install Windows posted:Really weird that the article is quoting the increase as from 6.15, when the federal minimum has been 7.25 for years. And there's essentially no people who would be eligible for state minimum who aren't already eligible for federal minimum I wouldn't say it's "weird" so much as "positive spin"  because the rest of the article is full of wonderful uplifting statistics like The Star Tribune posted:
god drat. edit holy poo poo also The Star Tribune posted:
