"Expanding the annual May Day events into a one-day-fits-all schedule of demonstrations for the rights of immigrants, women, workers, gay men, and lesbians."

I guess trans and blacks weren't included.

One would think that after awhile, it's a little hard to maintain all the emotion. I think people are just going to wind up getting used to Trump.

National Student Union Bans Clapping and Whooping As “Triggering” and Non-Inclusive

We have previously discussed how clapping is now viewed by many on campuses as inappropriate conduct and possibly even a “microaggression.” Now the delegates to the National Union of Students at the annual conference in Brighton are threatening “consequences” for any student who whoops or cheers or claps because such acts exclude deaf people. Moreover, many now argue that clapping is a triggering danger for some people. Instead, students are told to use “jazz hands” to show agreement or support.

Jazz hands are now the inclusive form of support. Notably, there has been a movement to have people snap rather than clap around the country, but snapping would also seem non-inclusive for deaf people. Thus, in the span of a year or so, “snappers” went from the cutting edge of inclusive angst to sound-producing reactionaries. As they say, revolution like Saturn devours its own.

The National Union of Students have taken this further to crackdown on those clapping as marginalizing others. Estelle Hart, an NUS elections committee member declared: “No whooping, it does have a serious impact on some delegates ability to access conference.”

I'm ready to emigrate. Is there someplace where rationality still prevails?

I don't think Bill Nye knows the difference between politics and science.

Australia has the best immigration policy out of any Western country. They have that shit down to a science. They get a lot of flak for it internationally, but it works for them.
