Guys. I get it, this isn’t ensuring you a living wage or banning AHCA.

But the courts have used Trump’s tweets to strike down the travel ban. This is important, even if it has a dumb name meant to needle him. His tweets are official correspondence, meaning they can illuminate his legislative intent, meaning they need to be on record. This can save lives. Using his tweets in court has saved lives. You can care about this AND your health insurance.

FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN WASHINGTON STATE,

prop. I-1552, a bill restricting trans workplace and academic protections, as well as REQUIRING A TRANS PERSON TO DISCLOSE THEIR ASSIGNED GENDER AT BIRTH BEFORE ENTERING A PUBLIC RESTROOM, is 2/3 OF THE WAY TOWARDS GOING ON THE BALLOT. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST VOTE MIDTERMS. WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS BULLSHIT IN OUR LEGISLATURE. THIS IS A DISGUSTING AND COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR OUR HUMAN RIGHTS.

It’s a legit bill, I checked. You can sign up to oppose it here:

Y’all got sources?

yeah so more information about this woman who leaked important information pertaining russia’s involvement in the election: 

Her name is “Reality Leigh Winner” and she was a NSA Contractor. She passed a top secret NSA document to a news source (an article from The Intercept) that contains information about a Russian cyber-attack with one voting machine DAYS before the 2016 presidential election. This is considered the most detailed piece of proof regarding Russia’s interference with the elections to date. 

Here’s how the NSA document described how the Russians did the hacking: 

“As described by the classified NSA report, the Russian plan was simple: pose as an e-voting vendor and trick local government employees into opening Microsoft Word documents invisibly tainted with potent malware that could give hackers full control over the infected computers.

But in order to dupe the local officials, the hackers needed access to an election software vendor’s internal systems to put together a convincing disguise. So on August 24, 2016, the Russian hackers sent spoofed emails purporting to be from Google to employees of an unnamed U.S. election software company, according to the NSA report. Although the document does not directly identify the company in question, it contains references to a product made by VR Systems, a Florida-based vendor of electronic voting services and equipment whose products are used in eight states.

The spear-phishing email contained a link directing the employees to a malicious, faux-Google website that would request their login credentials and then hand them over to the hackers. The NSA identified seven “potential victims” at the company. While malicious emails targeting three of the potential victims were rejected by an email server, at least one of the employee accounts was likely compromised, the agency concluded. The NSA notes in its report that it is “unknown whether the aforementioned spear-phishing deployment successfully compromised all the intended victims, and what potential data from the victim could have been exfiltrated.”

So instead of having Trump and his entire party removed, they gon throw home girl in jail and try to act like none of this happened.

When we say that the United States is joining Syria and Nicaragua by not participating in the Paris agreement, I think it’s not fair to leave it at that, because neither of them refused to sign for reasons anything like the selfish ones of the United States.

Syria was under sanctions making it complicated to even attend, and on top of that were embroiled in intense civil warfare and not in a great position to make a commitment like that. They didn’t​ disagree with it, but were never involved with the deal in the first place.

Nicaragua actually felt that the Paris agreement was not strict enough, arguing that they didn’t want to be complicit in a voluntary effort that didn’t properly allocate the responsibility to large countries for being the ones who poisoned the environment in the first place, nor impose a punishment on anyone failing to comply with the standards. Nicaragua is one of the countries that’s most affected by climate change but least responsible, and they felt that wasn’t fairly reflected in the accord.

The United States is the ONLY country that has rejected the Paris accord because of the belief that our environment is less important than our profit. Even oppressive regimes and the poorest nations in the world are smarter than that, or at least know when to keep their mouths shut and play along. The USA is not really in the league of Syria or Nicaragua, but alone in the refusal to cooperate out of pure greed.

I checked and it’s true: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/05/31/why-nicaragua-and-syria-didnt-join-the-paris-climate-accord/?utm_term=.a36d3a0d88e7

Apparently Nicaragua is closing in on being 80%+ reliant on renewable energies which is one of the most impressive amongst nations, I believe I read somewhere.

Update, because this is entertaining the hell out of me and is actually GOOD news in this whole disaster.

As of end of day, June 1, the following states have joined:

  • Massachusetts
  • Oregon
  • Colorado
  • Hawaii
  • Connecticut
  • Virginia
  • Rhode Island

According to Wikipedia,
these ten member states combined make up 30.1% of the US
population, 35.3% of US GDP, and 17.8% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions.

61 mayors and counting have also joined in (I told you voting for mayors is important). A few of the many highlights:

  • New York City
  • Los Angeles, CA
  • Chicago, IL
  • Boston, MA
  • Houston, TX
  • Philadelphia, PA
  • New Orleans, LA
  • Orlando, FL
  • Atlanta, GA
  • Washington DC

Elon Musk and Disney’s Bob Iger have quit Trump’s advisory council over it.

And that is why Trudeau was specifying the US federal government.

Someone should run for office in the Republican states as a Republican, make a bunch of Republican promises during their campaign… then as soon as they’re in office, be like “HAH I FOOLED YOU IM A PROGRESSIVE AND IM GOING TO GIVE LGBTQ+ RIGHTS AND STOP GERRYMANDERING AND MAKE A BUNCH OF GOOD CHANGES AND YOU CANT STOP ME MUAH HA HA!”
Like, nothing is stopping candidates from breaking campaign promises, right? Why not just run as the most popular party then, to get in the door and once your in, make positive changes?
