Trump's New Lawyer: Harvey Richards, Lawyer for Children!


The date says Jan. 2017, but it was actually posted January of this year. At any rate, it's more relevant today than ever. Ruben Bolling is a genius.

10 Women With Cameras We're Inspired by Every Day

10 Women With Cameras We’re Inspired by Every Day

Disclaimer: This is from the education section of a commercial site (Adorama), but worth a look.
Today, on International Women’s Day, and every day, we’re inspired by the women photographers, videographers, and creators who are changing the game. And here at Adorama, we’ve had the chance to hear their stories.

This site has posted great photographs by ten contemporary women photographers, with links to more information about each. For example, Emmy-nominated director Lauren Meyer, who's currently in post-production for her documentary The Other Boys of Summer, about Negro League baseball players and the civil rights struggle in the United States as they experienced it.

This Peter Thiel associate is

trying to amplify generational divisions. Why, I wonder?

A key cornerstone of the Libertarian project is to eliminate Social Security and Medicare, both age-related social insurance programs and shining examples of Democratic Party achievement.

If younger Americans can be convinced that everyone of age to receive those benefits is a selfish freeloader, then they'll gladly take part in dismantling them.

And if older Americans can be convinced that they don't need to worry, because their benefits will be protected while they're snatched from younger generations, the Koch Brothers and their kindred vultures are happy.

That's why I'm fighting against this narrative. It's complete bullshit. Please delete this OP.

I'm fighting to save Social Security and Medicare, for my children, my nieces and nephews, and their children -- and all Americans in their generations.

Need I point out how ridiculous it is for this rich-guy venture capitalist to call me a sociopath, because of my birth year? Give me a fucking break.

Trashing thread. Not recommending.
