Wed Jun 28, 2017 - 8:00 am EST June 28, 2017 (Public Discourse) — In 1971, the Manifesto of the Gay Liberation Front was published in England. The unashamedly radical document boldly declared, “The oppression of gay people starts in the most basic unit of society, the family. . . . The very form of the family works against homosexuality.” Under the subheading “We Can Do It,” we learn that “further advances are on the point of making it possible for women to be completely liberated from their biology by means of the development of artificial wombs.” According to the document, we had nearly reached “a stage at which the gender-role ...

By Derrick Broze The federal government will soon begin searching through travelers’ books at the airport as airlines test out fingerprint scans. Next time you choose to take a flight in the United States, you will not only be given the option of a free walk through the full body scanner or a complimentary rub down courtesy of the Transportation Security Administration. Your next flight might include a search of your laptop, books, and possibly a fingerprint scan. Since the launch of the Trump administration travelers have been subject to increasingly invasive measures in the form of laptop searches and discrimination against those traveling from majority Muslim countries.

Prior to this year, the state of Florida was regarded as one of the worst possible states to be caught in possession of cannabis. According to a 2009 analysis by former NORML Director, Jon Gettman, no state in this country punished people more severely for minor marijuana offenses than Florida. However, thanks in part to a former Florida judge, all this is gradually changing. By October 3, for the first time in its history, the state will issue IDs to medical marijuana patients. However, according to the former judge, the law doesn’t go nearly far enough. Throughout the course of his career as a Florida judge, Doug Bench hated marijuana. He admits to locking up hundreds of ...

The New York Times issued a correction Thursday on an article that incorrectly claimed all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies agreed that “Russia orchestrated the attacks, and did it to help get [Trump] elected.” The original article, published June 25, covered certain reactions that President Donald Trump gave in response to Russian cyber attacks and interactions with the 2016 presidential election. TheNYT’s correction notes that: “The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency.

Versailles, MO — Nearly two years after Trooper Anthony Piercy was charged in the death of Brandon Ellingson, who drowned in the Lake of the Ozarks with his hands cuffed behind his back, the case has been closed. Predictably, the offending officer is getting off with less than a slap on the wrist. For handcuffing a college student, negligently casting him into a lake, and watching as he drowned, Trooper Piercy pleaded guilty to a simple boating violation. On May 31, 2014. Trooper Piercy arrested Ellingson under suspicion of OWI and negligently placed the wrong life jacket over the handcuffed 20-year-old’s torso. Piercy then drove his patrol boat away from the ...

A ten-state coalition led by the Texas attorney general sent a letter to the Trump Administration asking for an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program. The group threatened to sue if the federal government does not end the program. DACA, put in place by an administrative action under the Obama Administration, granted temporary legal status and the right to work to millions of young people brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents. “We respectfully request that the Secretary of Homeland Security phase out the DACA program,” Texas Attorney General Paxton and the coalition wrote in a letter (attached below) to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. ...
Milwaukee County Sued For Requiring 10 Page Permit Application to Play Pokemon Go in Public Park

When Pokemon Go took the nation by storm in the summer of 2016, officials in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were not amused. Sure, the hugely popular augmented reality game was getting kids (and adults!) to roam around outside—probably doing more to get kids moving than Michelle Obama ever did—in the hopes of catching and battling their fictional "pocket monsters," but Milwaukee County officials were worried about how the game's popularity was affecting parks and other public spaces. Augmented reality games like Pokemon Go require gamers to be in certain physical locations in order to collect pokemon or complete in-game tasks, and public parks became hot spots for the ...

On Thursday, the House voted to pass Kate’s Law. The law is named after Kate Steinle, an American woman who was shot to death in San Francisco by an illegal alien who had been deported numerous times. The House passed a total of 2 bills today, which will go a long way in cracking down on illegal immigration. One of the bills will deny federal grants to sanctuary cities. The other bill, known as “Kate’s Law,” will severely punish deported aliens who illegally return to the United States. Twenty-four Democrats voted for “Kate’s Law.” Justin Amash was the only Republican to oppose it. Amash is a Palestinian “Republican” congressman who ...
Blue State Blues: America’s Divisions are Not Political — They’re Religious

As we approach the Fourth of July, Americans remain deeply divided. But those divisions are not political. They are religious. On one side, there is a political party operating as a millenarian religious movement –clinging to long-discredited beliefs, obsessed with sex, afraid of science, determined to impose its bizarre views on others, and insisting that the government must control every hidden corner of private life. On the other side are the Republicans. Broadly, the Republican Party is concerned about governance. That is why, for example, repealing and replacing Obamacare is taking so long. The Republican leadership in Washington seems genuinely concerned about passing ...

Ex-Weapons Inspector: Trump’s Sarin Claims Built on ‘Lie’

[Excerpt] Chemical ordnance is not intended for precise strikes against point targets, but rather delivery of the agent to an area. For this reason, they are not dropped singly, but rather in large numbers. (The ab-250, for instance was designed to be delivered by a TU-22 bomber dropping 24 weapons on the same target.) The weapon itself is not complex—a steel bomb casing with a small high explosive tube—the burster charge—running down its middle, equipped with a nose fuse designed to detonate on contact with the ground or at a pre-determined altitude. Once detonated, the burster charge causes the casing to break apart, disseminating fine droplets of agent over the target. ...

The ACLU in New Jersey has issued a new report that claims blacks in the state are unfairly targeted when it comes to arrests for marijuana possession and use. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, blacks were three times more likely to be arrested for marijuana in New Jersey than whites between the years 2000 and 2013. “These arrests are disproportionately made against blacks despite evidence that shows that blacks and whites use marijuana at the same rate,” policy counsel Dianna Houenou said Thursday. She says when you consider what she terms the “collateral consequences” attached to a marijuana arrest — including possible incarceration, loss of ...

Two U.S. citizens and 12 Mexican nationals were arrested Monday and federal authorities seized 1,100 pounds of marijuana east of Nogales. The marijuana is worth an estimated $600,000, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection news release. On June 26, Border Patrol agents patrolling Arizona Highway 82 said they spotted a suspicious Ford van heading east from Nogales. The van stopped at an intersection and the driver and a passenger climbed out of the van and ran, said authorities. Both men, who were U.S. citizens, were taken into custody a short distance away. Agents looked inside the van and found dozens of large marijuana bundles, said officials. In the meantime, two Air and ...

A Colorado marijuana trafficking ring illegally shipped the drug to a half-dozen other states, including Nebraska, authorities announced this week. A Denver grand jury indicted 62 people and 12 businesses this month in a case that targets the largest illegal marijuana operation discovered since Colorado legalized recreational pot in 2012, Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said. The ring operated under the guise of medical marijuana patient caregivers, property managers servicing growers and small business owners while producing more than 100 pounds of illegal pot each month for shipment to Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Ohio, Oklahoma and other states.

Cops May Still Use Marijuana as a Reason to Search You — Even After Legalization

For as long as the War on Drugs has persisted, marijuana and its skunky, distinct smell have been used by law enforcement as probable cause to search vehicles and detain individuals on the street. Now that recreational weed is legal in California, it would seem the validity of this oft-used technique may be on shaky ground. But Ryan A. Casey, an attorney at West L.A.’s Panish Shea & Boyle LLP, said legal weed may actually give police officers more opportunity to stop-and-frisk. “I think cops could still cite it as probable cause to stop if it is technically illegal to do it in public, but how much they will actually do that or whether it will increase or decrease remains to ...

Colorado police recently busted a drug trafficking ring that they said was shipping pot to other states, and even NFL players. According to police, it is the largest pot bust since the drug was legalized in 2012. Colorado officials announced Wednesday that they have busted a mammoth marijuana trafficking ring that pretended to be growing weed for sick people but was instead illegally shipping the drug to a half-dozen other states and bilking investors, including former NFL players. A Denver grand jury indicted 62 people and 12 businesses in a case that involved federal and state agents executing nearly 150 search warrants in 33 homes and 18 warehouses and storage units in the Denver area. ...

Over the past decade, scientists have increasingly become ashamed at the failings of their own profession: due to a lack of self-policing and quality control, a large proportion of studies have not been replicable, scientific frauds have flourished for years without being caught, and the pressure to publish novel findings—instead of simply good science—has become the commanding mantra. In what might be one of the worst such failings, a new study suggests that even systematic reviews and meta-analyses—typically ...

AP Photo/Russell Contreras, File The legalization of marijuana in Washington state and Colorado had at least one unanticipated effect on the streets: a sharp decline in the number of traffic stops resulting in searches by state police, a new analysis shows. The drop means fewer interactions between police and drivers, potentially limiting dangerous clashes. But even though the number of searches fell significantly for all racial groups, black and Hispanic drivers are still searched at higher rates than white motorists, the analysis found.

RADEK MICA/AFP/Getty Images Czech lawmakers have passed legislation in the lower parliament that would see the right to bear firearms enshrined in the country’s constitution in a move directed against tighter regulations from the European Union. The legislation was passed with 139 deputies agreeing to the amendment to the constitution with only nine deputies voting against. The amendment will now be considered by the Czech Senate where it will require a supermajority of three-fifths of the members in order to pass into law, Die Presse reports. Similar to the U.S. second amendment to the Constitution, which gives Americans the right to keep and bear arms, the Czech legislation reads: ...

Present your best argument for eating bacon.— PETA (@peta) June 28, 2017 As you can imagine, PETA lost that battle faster than Ron Swanson can throw away vegan bacon.
