FORTY YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH TODAY

THANKFUL TO THIS DAY OF HIS LEADING EXAMPLE

If you go back in time and realize the overall atmosphere and environment around the LGBTQ community in this nation, you will realize the Harvey Milk was a groundbreaking figure.

To this day, his effect is still felt.

More so in the 2018 midterm elections when a significant number of LGBTQ candidates achieved their goal of being elected to the post they were running for.

 Thank you, Mr. Milk!!

Gay rights pioneer Harvey Milk was assassinated on Nov. 27, 1978, just one year after becoming California’s first openly gay elected official

“It’s not my victory, it’s yours and yours and yours”

Harvey Milk said after winning a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in late 1977.

“If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight. We’ve given them hope.”

A year after delivering that speech and making history as the first openly gay elected official in California – and one of the first in the country – Milk was gunned down at San Francisco City Hall on Nov. 27, 1978.

He was just 48.

But during his short time in office, Milk made his mark. He helped to pass the country’s first gay rights ordinance, which sparked the legal LGBTQ-rights revolution that has since resulted in a nationwide right to same-sex marriage and an increasing number of LGBTQ-rights protections in cities and states across the country.
Milk also undoubtedly inspired future generations of LGBTQ Americans to enter politics.

Earlier this month, 40 years after his death and decades after his history-making election, a record-breaking “rainbow wave” of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans followed in his footsteps by running for office and winning.

SOUTH OF THE BORDER CHAOS

~U.S. Border Patrol Uses Tear Gas to Disperse Migrant Caravan~

I can’t believe this is happening … my heart brakes at the sight of people in need treated like animals and, yes, ‘vermin‘ … by the mighty, imperialistic US of A!

The strong, the mighty, the proud.

These are the people that the mighty need to fear and fend off?

A supposedly ‘Christian nation‘ who welcomed immigrants.
I so hate the face that America is showing to the world … guess the mask fell off!!

US Border Patrol agents used tear gas to disperse hundreds of Central American migrants in the Mexican city of Tijuana who made a rush for the border fence, as tension builds over the diminishing prospects for asylum seekers trying to enter the country.

Traffic at the border crossing between San Diego and Tijuana has been suspended

‘The Plight of Orangutans’ …. ‘🦍 Ad for British TV …. Deemed to Violate Laws Against Political Advertising 🦍 …. WOW”!!

~~November 17, 2018~~ 

Plight of Orangutans

~TOO POLITICAL?~

In spite of the political and daily problems the United Kingdom seems to be going through, it looks their concept of political advertisement goes along the correct path.

Can the US learn a lesson here?

I’m afraid not!

This ad violate laws against political advertising.

U.K. Ad Highlighting Plight of Orangutans Is Deemed Too ‘Political’ to Air
The animated commercial for the food retailer Iceland, featuring a baby orangutan, noted that the palm oil industry contributed to the destruction of rain forests and habitats.

By Iliana Magra
(Nov. 14, 2018)

~LONDON~

“There’s a Rang-tan in my bedroom, and I don’t know what to do,” the British actress Emma Thompson says, lending her voice to a young girl in an animated advertisement for Iceland, a food retailer in Britain.

It turns out the “Rang-tan” is a baby orangutan that has lost its mother and the rain forest it once called home, and that it no longer has a place to live.

The story line might seem harmless enough, but the commercial wasn’t cleared this week to air on British TV because it was deemed to violate laws against political advertising.

The decision ignited a firestorm on social media in Britain and led to a wildly popular petition demanding that it be overturned. And to many in the United States, where more than $3 billion was spent on political advertising for the recent midterm elections, the reaction was total bafflement.

Really, many wondered, can political advertising be banned?

Coralarium

“Where Land, Sea and Art Collide”

~Jason deCaires Taylor~

Amazing sculptor, amazing talent and incredible proponent of environmental messages and actions.

Take this amazing partially submerged trip and let your mind and your sense wander.

Sculpture Coralarium Where Land, Sea and Art collide Fairmont Hotel, Sirru Fen Fushi, Maldives The Sculpture Coralarium is situated in the centre of the largest developed coral lagoon in the Maldives, on the island resort of Fairmont Sirru Fen Fushi.

The artwork by Jason deCaires Taylor is a semi-submerged tidal gallery space that exhibits a series of sculptural artworks on the skyline, inter-tidal waterline and seabed. As world’s first semi submerged tidal Art Gallery it is cube shaped, six metres tall, with its front façade submerged up to median tide of three metres.

The design of the walls is based on natural coral structures and is porous to allow the tides, current and marine life to pass through and the structure to “breathe” within its location.

With over 18 years diving experience under his belt, Taylor is also an award winning underwater photographer, famous for his dramatic images, which capture the metamorphosing effects of the ocean on his evolving sculptures.

~~November 10, 2018~~ 

WOMEN STANDING TOGETHER

BROOKE BALDWIN

In this crazy nation where I now live, which has been taken to the gutter by the squatter who lives in the White House, nothing surprises me anymore.

It bothers me and makes me quite angry.

I can’t understand why there’s nothing or no one who can stop the idiocy that comes out of the mouth of that FIDIOT!!

The thing is that he’s showing his true colors.

In my opinion projecting quite a bit!

He’s the Teflon-Don!! 

Thank you, Brooke!

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Fiercely Defends Black Female Journalists After Drumpf’s Outbursts

The CNN anchor stood up for White House reporters April Ryan, Abby Phillip and Yamiche Alcindor, and called for respect from the ‘so-called’ president.

The targets of ‘so-called’ President Trumpf’s worst outbursts this week were black female reporters, and CNN’s Brooke Baldwin has joined the numerous journalists eviscerating him for it.

On the air Friday, the CNN anchor defended the women the president berated.

They included White House correspondent April Ryan, whom Drumpf called “nasty” and “a loser”; Abby Phillip, who Drumpf said “asks a lot of stupid questions” after she asked him about the Russia investigation; and PBS News Hour’s Yamiche Alcindor, whom Drumpf called “racist” for asking him about nationalism.

The journalists later spoke out about being subjected to Drumpf’s insults.

Baldwin described the women as “consummate professionals.

A-grade.”

“They can take these insults. They don’t need me sticking up for them,” Baldwin said. “But still, there is something so wrong with this. It is beyond disturbing. It is ugly, and I’m angry.”
