Omg look at this little cutie, how can anyone hurt them. There are only 30 of these left in the world due to illegal fishing.
Please donate to the National Marine Mammal Foundation’s last-ditch effort to capture the last 30 animals alive and relocate them to a seaside sanctuary in the northern Gulf of California. This is their last chance.
Trump being criticized for FINALLY speaking about against anti-Semitism isn’t a matter of “he’s damned if he does, he’s damned if he doesn’t.” He’s being criticized because he hasn’t spoke up before. He was given multiple opportunities in this past week alone and CHOSE to deflect and make the topic about him and how he’s the oppressed one. These reports of anti-Semitic incidents have been all over the news, this wasn’t the first week that Jewish Community Centers were targeted, this is an ongoing and organized attack.
You can’t get Trump to shut the fuck up about most topics, but he has to have his arm twisted to acknowledge anti-Semitism? You have to coddle him and carefully pick your words so the goddamn president doesn’t feel like you’re hurting his feelings before he can take these terror attacks seriously. Fuck off, he has every right to be criticized.

With just over a day to go before the evacuation deadline arrives at North Dakota’s Oceti Sakowin camp, protesters at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation have issued a plea: Come help — now.
In a viral video shared by journalist Shaun King on Monday, a group of indigenous women remind viewers that demonstrations against the Dakota Access pipeline are about much more than a single issue.
They’re about clean water, police brutality, treaty rights and the rights of future generations. Read more (2/21/17 8:00 AM)
People aren’t talking about it, but today (2/20/17) there was another round of bomb threats to JCCs. For people who don’t know, Jewish Community Centers largely serve as daycares during the hours these threats are being called in. With the eleven centers threatened today, it makes 69 threats to 54 centers in 27 states since the start of the year.
Political deep integration continues apace. The Liberal government is in the process of passing an extraordinary piece of legislation, C-23, which effectively cedes Canadian sovereignty to U.S. border officials.
Under this Bill, expected to pass shortly, Canadians can be held for interrogation by U.S. border guards at airports, even if we decide we’ve had enough hostile questioning about our religion, political views, social media habits, or mode of dress, and decide to stay in Canada after all. If we try to get up and leave at that point, or decide we don’t want to answer more questions, we will be breaking Canadian law, and liable for arrest, conviction and imprisonment. Meanwhile, Canadian border officials in American airports will now have the right to prevent Canadian permanent residents from boarding an aircraft.
At a stroke, what we assumed were basic civic rights are being whisked away by the Trudeau government. American authorities will be able to detain Canadian citizens on Canadian soil, and the Liberals are making it a crime for us to refuse to co-operate. And just as American green-card holders are being harassed and blocked at U.S. airports, so Canada is now following suit against its own permanent residents, who – until now – had the unfettered right to enter Canada.
Pre-clearance has, of course, been a convenient way of entering the U.S. Better to be refused here than have to pay your way back from there. But this new law will apply, as noted, even to Canadians who change their minds about traveling to the U.S. after getting a taste of the Orange Era from a sneering American immigration official. It’s worth reiterating: you won’t just be able to walk away. You will remain under American authority, in Canada, and if you resist or refuse to answer an American interrogator’s questions, you can be prosecuted – by Canada.
This may seem to some like small potatoes. Most Canadians don’t fly to the U.S. Most who do are unlikely to be harassed at the border. But it is wrong, I think, to dismiss this move so easily. Giving Americans the right to detain Canadians on our own land, and subjecting the latter to prosecution if we fail to comply, is a significant break from the past. Does anyone believe that U.S. pressure will stop there and that more concessions won’t be made?
Trudeau’s grinning performance in Washington, strong handshake and all, was really a gesture of obeisance. It was a dutiful visit to the court of the mad king. He will sound tough on trade issues for domestic consumption, and try to recover his shining mantle after his dismal performance of late, but he is what he is: little more than a satrap, not the leader of a sovereign nation. Just watch him.
