#1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/06/21/donald-trump-is-a-symbol-of-white-identity-politics-in-europe-too/President Trump began the week by railing against the immigration policies of both the United States and the European Union:
He then repeatedly doubled down, despite criticism for the false claim about Germanys crime rate.
These kinds of claims are nothing new for Trump. As a result, white racial identity and grievances have become a more potent political force in the United States. But perhaps even more striking is that this connection between white identity and support for Trump is apparent in Europe as well.
White identity in the 2016 presidential campaign
Trumps tweets about Germany resembled things he had said before. During the campaign, he retweeted the claim of an American white nationalist that African Americans killed 81 percent of white homicide victims (the actual number was just 15 percent). Last November, he retweeted a video from a British white nationalist group titled Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches! (The perpetrator was born and raised in the Netherlands.)
Emphasizing threats from racial and ethnic minorities can make white Americans racial identity and grievances more strongly related to political attitudes. For example, in our forthcoming book with Lynn Vavreck, Identity Crisis: The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America, we show that whites who believed that whites were experiencing discrimination were more likely to support Trump in both the primary and general elections. These perceptions of discrimination against whites were more strongly linked to support for Trump than support for prior Republican presidential candidates.
White identity can be potent in European politics as well. As we show in Identity Crisis, perceptions of discrimination against whites were strongly related to support for the U.K.s referendum to leave the European Union (a.k.a. Brexit):
Whites who thought there was a lot of discrimination against whites were over 60 percentage points more likely to support Brexit than whites who thought there was a lot of discrimination in favor of whites.
Trump himself has become a symbol of white identity politics even in Europe. For example, the December 2016 British Election Study asked people in Britain how they felt about Trumps election. About 64 percent said they were unhappy with the result, compared with 17 percent who were happy and 19 percent who were neutral. Whites who perceived a lot of discrimination against whites were much less likely to be unhappy about Trumps election. if he runs in 2020, do you think he'll utilize the same strategy of targeting white people's perceived grievances? in my opinion, it worked before so he would likely try it again. --- |

#1 | https://www.thedailybeast.com/neo-nazi-to-plead-guilty-to-trying-to-derail-train-and-screaming-im-the-conductor-bitchA neo-Nazi accused of attempting to derail an Amtrak train is expected to abandon his not guilty plea, his lawyer says.
Taylor Wilson, 26, is accused of boarding a cross-country Amtrak train with a backpack full of guns and wirecutters in October 2017 before he pulled the emergency brake in Nebraska and burst into the engine room where employees witnessed him playing with the controls. Wilson was initially arrested on a terror charge for the alleged derailment attempt, and later indicted on two charges for attempting to wreck a passenger train and attempting to disable the conductor.
Wilson entered a not guilty plea earlier this year, but is finally about to fess up, according to new court filings first reported by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
We filed a motion to change plea, which means in all likelihood the case is not going to trial, Wilsons lawyer Jerry Sena told The Daily Beast. Sena and the Nebraska Attorney Generals office are working on a plea deal, which will allow Wilson to face a lesser set of charges.
Once one is agreed upon, he will most likely be pleading guilty to amended charges, Sena said.
A guilty plea would keep Wilsons case out of the courtroom. But he brought a mountain of evidence onto the train with him, according to a criminal complaint.
Wilson, a Missouri man who lives with his parents, boarded a cross-country Amtrak train in October with a backpack full of weapons and a plan to run the train off the tracks. While passing through rural Nebraska, Wilson allegedly pulled the trains emergency brake, leaving it stranded on the tracks at 2
While Amtrak staff swept the train, Wilson allegedly burst into the control room and took a place in the engineers seat, where a staffer found him playing with the controls.
What are you going to do, shoot me? Wilson allegedly asked the Amtrak staff who confronted him. Im the conductor, bitch.
One of Wilsons associates told investigators that Wilson had been acting strangely since at least June, after joining an "alt right Neo-Nazi group that he had found researching white supremacy forums online, according to the criminal complaint. The associate told police that Wilson had expressed an interest in killing black people and had claimed to have been part of a group that pasted Whites Only signs in local businesses.
In August 2017, Wilson had marched at Unite the Right, a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. no, you are definitely not the conductor. --- |

#1 | https://www.vox.com/2018/6/8/17439564/trump-iftar-dinner-ramadan-white-houseWednesday night, to commemorate the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the Trump White House hosted its first Iftar dinner the meal that ends the daily fast.
The White House has hosted an Iftar dinner annually since the Clinton administration. However, President Donald Trump breaking with tradition passed on hosting one in 2017, causing controversy. This year, however, the Iftar dinner was no less controversial.
No Muslim-American leaders or activists appear to have attended the dinner. (Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, declined to provide a final guest list), and it is not clear if any were asked. The dinner was instead attended by a number of Middle Eastern diplomats and senior officials, including representatives from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, as well as one American Muslim military chaplain. According to the Guardian, representatives of a number of prominent domestic Islamic advocacy organizations, including the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), were surprised not to be invited to the dinner.
Trumps Iftar dinner may have been well-intentioned, but it seems to be representative of a wider trend in his presidency: that of minimizing attention paid to the needs and goals of Muslim Americans, while stoking Islamophobia more generally to appeal to Trumps white, conservative base. From the Muslim ban barring visitors from seemingly arbitrarily selected Muslim countries to his repeated, hostile, and often factually incorrect comments about Islam (like the debunked idea that American Muslims were celebrating 9/11), Trump has positioned himself in opposition to the American Muslim community.
His remarks about Islam at the event, however, were generally positive. He called Islam one of the worlds great religions and wished attendees a Ramadan Mubarak Arabic for a blessed holiday.
However, a number of American Muslims saw in the start of Ramadan the opportunity to publicly oppose the Trump administrations policies and rhetoric on Muslims. The Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) sponsored Not Trumps Iftar, an interfaith rally outside the White House, in partnership with other Islamic advocacy organizations. Wardah Khalid, a Media Associate with Church World Service a humanitarian organization that worked with CAIR on the event spoke to Vox about the communitys general feelings about the Trump administration: For any Muslim leader to even consider going to that White House is hard, she said. i wonder what his base thinks about this. it's also puzzling why no domestic muslim groups were invited. --- |

Very mixed feelings on this. I don't think schools should be compelling speech of any kind if they're publicly funded. I'm also surprised that they didn't agree to the last-name proposal. But, I do think on an individual basis a teacher shouldn't have a problem calling a student by whatever name/nickname they prefer. It is something teachers do for most students anyway. Although I don't think there's enough empirical evidence yet to support Paulsen's argument that not using someone's preferred name contributes to suicide and mental illness. At least not enough evidence to justify a government-funded institution compelling speech.
then it's a good thing that there was no case of compelled speech here
He literally had no choice but to use the name the student wanted or get fired. He couldn't use the student's old name. He couldn't use the student's last name. Are you suggesting it's not compelled speech because he could technically just go the rest of the student's high school education without addressing the student even once?
Or he could have just not been a snowflake baby and addressed the student by their preferred name
So you just had no idea what "compelled speech" actually means. Gotcha.

Literally every job has codes of conduct, particularly with respect to interaction with clients, customers, or in this case students. He knew the policy, he violated the policy. This is as much "compelled speech" as it would be if got reprimanded for calling a student "shithead."
He used the student's last name, though. Are you saying that's a violation of policy? according to the article, yes it is. it says the school has a policy of calling them by their preferred name. he refused to do that thus violating that policy. he broke the rules laid out by the school itself. he was even given a chance to correct his behavior before losing his job, and he still refused. --- |

Now hes setting up Marv Studios (the modern version of what a studio can be, he describes), and he already has big plans for its output.
The filmmaker is planning a reboot of the Kick-Ass series and while he wont confirm which incarnation of the character it would involve, he does strongly hint that Patience Lee, an African-American single mother whos taken on the vigilante mantle, could be in the frame. A solo Hit-Girl film is also in discussion, and could either focus on an older Mindy Macready, or look at her younger years growing up under the tutelage of Big Daddy. Were going to reboot Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl, Vaughn confirms. Look what Mark Millar is doing with the comic for clues.
top link contains spoilers and covers the comic version. i wasn't the biggest fan of kick ass 2, so maybe this will be good change. a prequel with big daddy and hit girl would also be cool. --- |

The 8ft reptile lashed out after trappers tried to remove it from Ocoee in Orlando, where it was seen walking from door to door, reports Click2Orlando. It managed to slap a cop with its snout after it was restrained by a Florida Fish and Wildlife trapper and loaded onto the bed of a truck, sending the man spinning to the ground.
And the reptile wasnt done, landing several more blows on two other men working to contain it with its lashing tail. Local resident Walter Day said: The gator flipped back and head-butted the guy.
(It) knocked him to the ground. At that point, it was (kind of) free and whacked police officers with its tail. Recalling what happened before the animal was caught, he said: It walked for 20 steps and then it just (kind of) sat down and walked for 20 steps and sat down. It was (kind of) odd to watch. He said that a woman rushed to help the downed trapper up off the sidewalk, and that the gator was eventually contained.
His neighbor Jim Jarrels told how the creature appeared to be making door-to-door calls before it was caught and how one woman almost opened her front door to it. He recalled: We were like, No, go back in! So she closed the door. Although Florida is famous for its gators, the Ocoee residents dont live near a body of water, and were surprised by how far it had wandered. Experts say the reptiles usually wander further when they are looking for a mate or hungry and in search of a meal. times must be hard if alligators are resorting to making housecalls. --- |

When confronted with a situation where something bad is happening to someone they object to the reaction is generally "your fault, should have tried harder, should have known better, you aren't being oppressed" just as it always has. If anything, it's actually probably redoubled since things bullshit like the Team Party aftermath and gamergate.
It's just that more and more people are pushing back against them now that they're being more open about it, so there's a complete zero-irony horror at the prospect of people being critical towards their beliefs that manifests itself in the form of a victim complex or stupid observations where they try to compare themselves to people with actual relevant social issues attatched to them that's a good point as i've observed similar behavior. there seems to be a severe case of cognitive dissonance going on. --- |

#1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/06/06/the-rise-of-the-snowflake-conservative/It is easy to forget the Before Time in 2018, but in the not-so-distant past, conservatives were big fans of personal responsibility. Conservative think tanks used to write entire reports on this idea. The way to survive and thrive in America was by pulling ones self up by ones bootstraps, despite whatever adversity might be out there in the world. Another part of this credo was owning ones mistakes and soldiering on regardless.
It does not seem like modern conservatives know how to do this. Consider, for example, Niall Ferguson. In the New Republic, Jeet Heer offers up a useful summary on Fergusons rather unusual intervention into Stanford student affairs:
As The Stanford Daily reported on Thursday, newly public emails show that Fergusons eagerness to fight off what he saw as encroaching political correctness led the historian to some bizarre extracurricular activity. Ferguson teamed up with a group of student Republicans, led by John Rice-Cameron, to wage a covert political battle against Michael Ocon, a student they viewed as excessively left-wing. In the e-mails they refer to Ocon as Mr. O and talk about ways to discredit him. Some opposition research on Mr. O might also be worthwhile, Ferguson wrote. Fergusons research assistant Max Minshull was tasked with the job of collecting the dirt on Ocon.
When confronted with the emails by the Stanford Daily, Ferguson apologized for his behavior. If he had left it at that, this might have been an example of taking some personal responsibility. As I noted in The Ideas Industry, however, that is not Fergusons modus operandi. Sure enough, he tried to explain himself in the Boston Globe:
This fiasco might have been avoided if conservatives at universities did not feel so beleaguered. There is a debate about how far free speech has been restricted on American campuses in recent years. I have no doubt that Jonathan Haidt and Sean Stevens are right: It has. Middle-of-the-road students live in fear that a casual remark will be deemed offensive or triggering by the progressives and that social media will be unleashed to shame them. Conservative students have to decide whether to remain in the new ideological closet or come out and fight a culture war in which they are hopelessly outnumbered.
It is true that there are not a lot of conservatives in the academy, but come on. Fergusons not-so-subtle inference is that because the ivory tower is hostile to those of his ideological ilk, he had no choice but to fight dirty and punch down. Which is odd, because I thought conservatives exhort those who face hard circumstances to soldier on regardless.
Of course, the best current example of conservative victimhood is President Donald Trump. My colleague Philip Rucker noted this on Monday:
Unfair is one of his favorite words, and he has used it in 69 tweets. He calls the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election a rigged witch hunt. He accuses the FBI of infiltrating his campaign with spies. He insists the media is running a sophisticated disinformation operation to discredit him. And he demands apologies for myriad criticisms and slights.
Never mind that Donald Trump was born into extraordinary wealth, emblazoned his name on skyscrapers and golf courses across the globe and now is the elected leader of the free world.
In President Trumps telling, which can often be more imaginary than real, he is a victim a long-suffering, tormented victim.
Trump even blames others for the cruel immigration policies that he otherwise brags about: i wonder when personal responsibility stopped mattering to conservatives. --- |

#1 | https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/05/conservative-groups-pan-trumps-move-to-bail-out-coal-nuclear-plants.htmlPresident Donald Trump's order to keep failing coal and nuclear power plants open and a proposal to use obscure executive powers to achieve that goal has been slammed by environmentalists, energy industry groups and competitive power markets.
It turns out conservative and libertarian free market think tanks are not fans of the plan either. They are panning it as "economy-crippling central planning" and the intellectual work of someone in the "third grade."
On Friday, Trump instructed Energy Sec. Rick Perry to "prepare immediate steps to stop" the "impending retirements of fuel-secure power facilities," referring to coal and nuclear plants. The same day, Bloomberg News released a leaked draft proposal from the Energy Department. It proposed Trump cite national security concerns, allowing him to require regional markets to purchase enough power from the facilities to prevent them from closing.
The White House and Energy Department have not returned multiple inquiries regarding the authenticity of the draft proposal. On Tuesday, Mark Menezes, the Energy Department's energy policy adviser, confirmed the plan is under consideration and said the agency stands "by everything that's in the paper," the Washington Examiner reported.
In the 41-page plan, the Energy Department acknowledged that the U.S. grid operates reliably, but argued that "high-impact events caused by state actors, terrorists, or natural disasters" mean past measures of reliability may no longer be adequate.
Some conservatives who study policy suggested the Trump administration is scrambling to fulfill his campaign promise to revive the coal industry after a bipartisan regulatory board rejected an earlier bailout plan put forward by Perry. Since Trump was elected, 36 coal plants have retired and 30 have announced they will close, according to a count kept by the Sierra Club, an environmental group.
Katie Tubb, a policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, said the administration can't find justification in past experience to subsidize the plants, so it is evoking potential future threats like cyber attacks and terrorism.
In her view, the plan stretches the limits of the Federal Power Act and the Defense Production Act to achieve a political goal. Tubb equated the proposal to President Barack Obama's use of the Clean Air Act to justify his move to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants under the Clean Power Plan, which conservatives often frame as an abuse of authority.
"Neither are sound, principled policy and both promise harm to consumers. Instead, the President should turn dedicated attention to reversing the underlying policies that are causing the problems he wants to fix," Tubb said.
Coal and nuclear plants are closing mostly due to competition from cheap, cleaner-burning natural gas and renewable energy. can he just forget about fulfilling his terrible campaign promise regarding coal? i think we can all agree that it was a bad idea. --- |

You're the only one whos wrong dude. Nothing about anything David Hogg says gets me angry or upset. As far as thinking my post is stupid--i mean...you're entitled to your opinion. When i saw the topic title and read the OP, i laughed, because this was not surprising at all given how he acts, and how absorbed he is with getting his face on TV, It was only a matter of time before he was the victim of something. I dont know why this is taboo for me to say--when you put yourself out there like he did, and not even exactly saying what he was saying, but how he would say it...he has this cocky, judgemental, intolerant, extremist attitude and starts condemning anyone that doesnt agree with him. You cant bring that much attention to yourself, positive and negative, and not have to look over your shoulder. I've seen videos of people putting his head on a target and shooting it for practice--thats crazy, and thats what he has to deal with because of the way he came off. And i stand by what i said--swatting should be illegal, with steep jail time and a heavy, heavy fine, and if someones life is lost, you should at minimum get involuntary manslaughter. Furthermore, just because i thought it was funny that someone decided to do this to him, doesnt mean i would have thought it was funny if anyone was hurt.
Thats what you and the other two users seem to be missing here--nobody was hurt. If someone walked in here laughing it up if him and his family WAS there, or someone WAS hurt--especially if someone was hurt--then they would be a piece of shit.

#1 | http://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-eagles-players-kneeling-praying-2018-6On Monday the White House disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles from their ceremonial White House visit.
The Eagles were prepared to carry on with the visit with a smaller delegation from the team, but the White House instead chose to cancel their invitation altogether.
While reporting the story, Fox News appeared to imply that Philadelphia Eagles players had been kneeling during the anthem throughout the year. However, the images that they used were of players kneeling in prayer, removed from the playing of the anthem, rather than kneeling during the anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequality.
You can watch the segment below.
Some Eagles players did participate in the protests but not by kneeling. Safety Malcolm Jenkins raised his fist as the anthem played, while other players stood arm-in-arm or with their arm around Jenkins in solidarity.

#1 | https://academic.oup.com/sf/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/sf/soy046/5002999Here, we integrate prior work to develop and test a theory of how perceived macro-level trends in racial standing shape whites views of welfare policy. We argue that when whites perceive threats to their relative advantage in the racial status hierarchy, their resentment of minorities increases. This increased resentment in turn leads whites to withdraw support for welfare programs when they perceive these programs to primarily benefit minorities. Analysis of American National Election Studies data and two survey-embedded experiments support this reasoning.
In Study 1, we find that whites racial resentment increased beginning in 2008, the year of Barack Obamas successful presidential candidacy and a major economic downturn, the latter a factor previously shown to amplify racial threat effects. At the same time, whites opposition to welfare increased relative to minorities.
In Study 2, we sought to better establish the causal effect of racial status threats. We found that experimentally presenting information suggesting that the white majority is rapidly declining increased whites opposition to welfare, and this effect was mediated by heightened racial resentment.
Finally, in Study 3 we found that threatening whites sense of their economic advantage over minorities led whites to report greater opposition to welfare programs, but only if these programs were portrayed as primarily benefiting minorities, not if they were portrayed as benefiting whites. These findings suggest that whites perceptions that minorities standing is rising can produce periods of welfare backlash in which adoption of policies restricting or curtailing welfare programs is more likely. welfare gets brought up in relation to race quite often, so this does seem to be a driving factor in some people's opposition of it. --- |

#1 | https://www.myajc.com/news/black-defendants-get-longer-sentences-from-republican-appointed-judges-study-finds/EWVrvYWv5I3Bjpg0BRvmVL/Judges appointed by Republican presidents gave longer sentences to black defendants and shorter ones to women than judges appointed by Democrats, according to a new study that analyzed data on more than half a million defendants.
Republican-appointed judges sentence black defendants to three more months than similar non-blacks and female defendants to two fewer months than similar males compared to Democratic-appointed judges, the study found, adding, These differences cannot be explained by other judge characteristics and grow substantially larger when judges are granted more discretion.
The study was conducted by two professors at Harvard Law School, Alma Cohen and Crystal S. Yang. They examined the sentencing practices of about 1,400 federal trial judges over more than 15 years, relying on information from the Federal Judicial Center, the U.S. Sentencing Commission and the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
Douglas A. Berman, an authority on sentencing law at Ohio State University, said the study contained amazing new empirical research.
Its an extraordinarily important contribution to our statistical understanding of sentencing decision making in federal courts over the last two decades, he said.
It has long been known that there is an overall racial sentencing gap, with judges of all political affiliations meting out longer sentences to black offenders. The new study confirmed this, finding that black defendants are sentenced to 4.8 months more than similar offenders of other races.
It was also well known, and perhaps not terribly surprising, that Republican appointees are tougher on crime overall, imposing sentences an average of 2.4 months longer than Democratic appointees.
But the studys findings on how judges partisan affiliations affected the racial and gender gaps were new and startling.
The racial gap by political affiliation is three months, approximately 65 percent of the baseline racial sentence gap, the authors wrote. We also find that Republican-appointed judges give female defendants two months less in prison than similar male defendants compared to Democratic-appointed judges, 17 percent of the baseline gender sentence gap.
The two kinds of gaps appear to have slightly different explanations. We find evidence that gender disparities by political affiliation are largely driven by violent offenses and drug offenses, the study said. We also find that racial disparities by political affiliation are largely driven by drug offenses.
The authors of the study sounded a note of caution. The precise reasons why these disparities by political affiliation exist remain unknown and we caution that our results cannot speak to whether the sentences imposed by Republican- or Democratic-appointed judges are warranted or right,' the authors wrote. Our results, however, do suggest that Republican- and Democratic-appointed judges treat defendants differently on the basis of their race and gender given that we observe robust disparities despite the random assignment of cases to judges within the same court.
The study is studded with fascinating tidbits. Black judges treat male and female offenders more equally than white judges do. Black judges appointed by Republicans treat black offenders more leniently than do other Republican appointees.
More experienced judges are less apt to treat black and female defendants differently. Judges in states with higher levels of racism, as measured by popular support for laws against interracial marriage, are more likely to treat black defendants more harshly than white ones. it's interesting that black judges were apt to treat male and female offenders more equally. --- |

SiREN. fans of the segment might like it since it has the same girl and it did get positive buzz from some people. it was just a generic horror movie that seemed like a syfy channel original to me. the only interesting part was the whorehouse.
I just skimmed the plot description and its funny how it basically ends the same way as the short it was completely unremarkable. it felt like they were trying to cash in on the cult status of the previous titles, but they had no new ideas so they just added a bunch of filler to turn it into a movie. --- |

Maybe he believes in something more important then saving his own skin.
I know its hard to believe being a beta, basement dwelling, craven, pathetic excuse for a man like yourself.
But courage does exist in the world. there's no need to be upset, and i wouldn't call it courageous to endanger the safety and peace of mind of the victims. if you're okay with that, then you should probably take a look in the mirror and ask where exactly you went wrong. --- |

Judge Heather Norton handed him a three months imprisonment in May last year but suspended it for 18 months on the condition he did not commit further offences. he's not a very smart guy, is he? --- |
