Sunday Snippets: Voting rights

We need the voting rights legislation passed. But I fear that the Republicans will continue to blockade anything that prevents them from getting more power and money.

There is, however, a highly coherent political rationale for doing so: If you’re a reactionary nationalist looking to build popular support for your program of mass deportation, you’re gonna want to dehumanize your prospective deportees. Encouraging Americans to associate undocumented immigrants with violent crime is a handy way of doing so.

Truth about cats and Part II

(TW) Completely awful

Relatives say the two women went to Galveston for Mardi Gras. Detectives believe they were killed elsewhere and their bodies moved. Reports also indicate that they were murdered in different ways. It’s currently unclear whether this was a hate crime or there was some other motive for the murder. “That was her girlfriend, that was her soulmate,” James Randle, neighbor to Britney Cosby, told ABC.

An interesting read

As same-sex couples marry, they will be forced to re-imagine many tenets of your “traditional marriage.” In doing so, they will face a series of complicated questions: Should one of us change our last name? And if so, who? Should we have kids? Do we want to have kids? How do we want to have kids? Whose last name do our kids take?

I was talking about Occupy Wall Street, which kind of gave us elements of activism. But we are not in a 99 percent world. We are in a world with serious class complexes. It is one thing to be a college student with loan debts and another thing to be just dirt poor for your entire life.

YES, everything right here

"How many people are locked up in the US?"

Nope, not terrifying at all

That means moving away from the incremental strategy – 20 week bans, admitting privileges laws for clinics – and sticking to banning all abortion without exceptions, equating hormonal birth control (even the daily pill kind) with abortion, and advocating that women who have abortions be tried as murderers.

Horrifying (TW)

Venezuela’s soldiers are killing their people. The Government is sending their armed gangs to kill them and they have censored all the media in their country, even blocking photos posted on social media sites. They shut down all the cable channels that broadcast news, so they can’t know what’s going on. The people have no source of protection at all.
