In the UK, The Investigatory Powers Act 2016 nicknamed the Snoopers’ Charter has been passed by Both the House of Lords and House of Commons – the biggest overhaul of surveillance powers for more than a decade. Service providers must now store details of everything you do online for 12 months – and make it accessible to dozens of public authorities.
Please help stop this new law by signing this petition. There has not been enough challenges to it and the new law will MASSIVELY impact civil liberties.
After a pretty brutal week, Hillary Clinton gave an incredible speech at a Children’s Defense Fund ceremony that honored her lifelong child advocacy work.
She spoke about the inspiration she draws from her own mother (who overcame an abusive childhood) and the belief that we all need to work to make sure every child has an advocate. She spoke about the work that was done to expand Medicaid to cover more pregnant women and children, about criminal justice reform, about making schools more accessible to children with disabilities, about the children of immigrants who fear deportation, about making sure poor children receive the same shot as anyone else.
A Latina student at a university in Boston said that her professor on Thursday handed back her paper and told her, in front of the class, “This is not your language.”
After looking at more of the comments the professor left on her literature review, Suffolk University sociology major Tiffany Martínez noticed that the professor had circled the word “hence” and had written, “This is not your word,” underlining “not” twice.
And at the top of her paper, the professor had written, “Please go back & indicate where you cut & paste.”
Martínez, an aspiring professor who was born and raised in the Bronx, told BuzzFeed News that her professor had called her to the front of the senior seminar course on Thursday to receive her graded paper when she made the language comment.
“She spoke loudly enough that students at the back of the room heard and asked if I was OK after class,” Martínez said.
She felt terrified after the incident.
“I spent the rest of the class going back through every single line, every single citation to make sure that nothing had been plagiarized, even though I knew I hadn’t,” she said.
It be like that i remember one time a professor handing me back my paper saying see me after class. Paper was so well written he didn’t believe i wrote it based on my appearance told me to email him the file so he could run it through a plagiarism checker. Even then he still thought i paid someone or a family member wrote it.
Actor Joel de la Fuente from The Man in the High Castle has supported the blogger’s claim that the script is real and was considered, tweeting, “I can back you up on what you’re saying. I confirm everything you said about that draft.” Here are some of the offensive elements in the confirmed-authentic script.
Y’all still wanna vote for this old white feminist thot
When Hilary dies
And this people of the internet, is what politicians call, a “sound bite”
“…And our problem is not all kooks and Klansman. It’s also in the cruel joke that goes unchallenged. It’s in the off-hand comments about not wanting “those people” in the neighborhood.
Let’s be honest: For a lot of well-meaning, open-minded white people, the sight of a young Black man in a hoodie still evokes a twinge of fear. And news reports about poverty and crime and discrimination evoke sympathy, even empathy, but too rarely do they spur us to action or prompt us to question our own assumptions and privilege.”
if you want to be political, stop being lazy
Hillary Clinton: Talks frankly about the very real problem of prejudice and people making racist assumptions when they see black people dressed a certain way
Media: QUICKLY WHAT’S THE EASIEST WAY WE CAN TRY AND SPIN THIS TO TRY AND MAKE HER LOOK RACIST
This is why I hate clickbait articles. Also, Trump has said far worse about Black people, and it wasn’t taken out of context either.
Yeah when Donald Trump says something that sounds racist it’s not because it was taken out of context, it’s because it was REALLY RACIST
But no people would rather take stuff out of context to try and make Hillary look bad than focus on the ways Trump ACTUALLY IS bad
I’ve drafted an outline for a bestselling young adult novel. It features
a transgender school dropout with autism who meets a self-harming
vampire with a heart of gold, hell bent on bringing peace to the world.
Together they embark on a magical quest to find an ancient crystal with
the power to render all weapons useless. Oh, and the protagonist’s
mother makes a living selling legal highs to illegal immigrants.
[DONALD TRUMP] was, by both his friends’ description and his own, a rambunctious kid who got in trouble a lot and who was a bit of a ruffian. From the youngest age, about age 6 or 7, he pelted the neighbor’s toddler with rocks from across the yard. He pulled the pigtails of a classmate. He got into a physical altercation with one of his teachers, and so he was someone who was kind of a rambunctious kid, even obnoxious by some accounts, and he says that he hasn’t changed since second grade. So that kind of in-your-face provocateur character that we’ve come to see in the campaign is something that traces back very cleanly and consistently to this childhood as kind of a tough kid.
I like how they think that a girl should be attractive and she is nothing if she’s not.
What he says: y’all find this attractive? lmaaoo
What he means: These women’s bodies do not please me, a man, so I must voice my opinion that these girls are not as sexually satisfying because they’re out there being the best at what they do, thus making their bodies not as curvaceous and soft like it should be for The Proper Sex™, instead of staying on my screen and being molded into sexy eye candy for my Personal Sexual Taste
