It’s beyond belief to me that we have stories like this coming out of the Orlando massacre, but we do.
Let’s see now – you can argue that our failure to enact common sense gun legislation on the federal level could have been a contributing factor to getting Juan Chavez Martinez killed in the first place, then of course we have the typical LBGT discrimination/demonization, and now, on top of that, because we ALSO don’t have common-sense immigration reform, his family can’t even take Martinez’s body back to Mexico for the burial without running the risk of being locked out of this country.
If none of these are reasons to elect Hillary Clinton and a Democratic congress, then reasons to do that don’t exist (“U-S-A! U-S-A!”)…
…and Rachel Maddow tells us about the political after-effects of Dem CT Sen. Chris Murphy’s great filibuster on gun votes earlier this week (and Lord, does “Straight Talk” McCain need to be voted out of office)…
…and it looks like that pesky Josh Fox is back to remind us about what we should have done long ago by now for the sake of the planet (tied to his new documentary also)…
…and the insanity hasn’t let up lately, unfortunately; what follows is a tribute to anti-Brexit British MP Jo Cox, who was brutally murdered by someone who was, by all accounts, some kind of UK nationalist nut job (oh, right – “allegedly”…don’t want to say anything prejudicial…and wouldn’t you know that there’s a reported link to right-wing extremism in this country, as noted here?)…
...and I had this song in mind as a tribute...
...and I was a bit delinquent in not featuring a Father's Day tune yesterday - I think this will do.
