Don't Blame an Immigrant

Because You're Unemployable.

Migrant Laborers Are NOT the Ones Responsible for Downsizing, Outsourcing and Automating Your Job.

This much is clear. CBS is being “murdered,” as Scott Pelley calls what’s happening, not because of economics but because of politics. Economically, “60 Minutes” is a gold mine. Politically, Trump thinks it’s dangerous as hell because it tells the truth about him and his regime, and wants it killed. It’s important to see all this as a systematic effort by Trump to silence the truth about what he’s doing to America. Trump’s increasingly corruption — rife with crony capitalism, corporate welfare, and payoffs to the powerful — is producing an increasingly corrupt economy in which everything depends on bribes and personal deals made by the biggest Republican loyalists and grifters, oligarchs and plutocrats, billionaires and multibillionaires, and monopolists. When political and economic deal-making become personal transactions — when greed and payoffs replace trust — what happens? Authoritarianism replaces democracy. And an economy collapses, as it did at the end of America’s first Gilded Age, in the Great Crash of 1929, leading to the Great Depression. One day we will look back on the murder of “60 Minutes” as one of the travesties of Trump’s despicable reign. In the meantime, thank you Scott Pelley for telling the truth. Thank you, former “60 Minutes” producers, correspondents, and staff, for telling the truth. And now, what do we do in the interest of the truth? We boycott CBS.

Invasion of Iran and all its negative consequences are a result of Netanyahu dogwalking Trump and Kushner in war.

Israel has the Epstein blackmail. Nepo Kushner is a traitor with any country who pays.

Colorado governor signs law protecting LGBTQ+ kids from conversion therapy. Again

The new law comes two months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state's previous ban on the dangerous and discredited practice.

Jack Walker at The Advocate:

On the heels of a court decision that Colorado LGBTQ+ advocates worried weakened protections against so-called “conversion therapy” in the state, a new law signed Monday will codify protections against the widely debunked practice. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, joined elected officials in Denver Monday morning to sign into law HB26-1322, a bill that bans therapists in the state from imposing a “predetermined outcome” around sexual orientation or gender identity onto a young patient. The bill was passed by Democrats in the Colorado statehouse last month, and Polis signed the bill on the first day of Pride Month. “Conversion Therapy is harmful, can traumatize kids, and is a scam to waste people's hard-earned money,” Polis, who is gay, said in a Monday press release. “This new law provides Coloradans who have been subject to this dehumanizing treatment with the tools to heal and move on to live strong, healthy and authentic lives.” Colorado state lawmakers championed the bill after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in March that Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy was not “viewpoint neutral.” Colorado Democrats said the new bill modifies language around the state’s previous conversion therapy laws to ensure that LGBTQ+ residents retain protection from the practice. [...] The law also extends the statute of limitations for cases of malpractice tied to conversion therapy, giving survivors more time to pursue legal and financial claims.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signs a Chiles-compliant law (HB26-1322) banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ children.
