or something... Idaho Dems Exec Director: DNC Should Train People In ‘How to Shut Their Mouths If They’re White’ by Ian Hanchett Jan 20170 During Monday’s Democracy in Color DNC debate, Idaho Democratic Party Executive Director and DNC Chair candidate Sally Boynton Brown stated that “my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. My job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, oh, no, I’m not prejudiced. I’m a Democrat. I’m accepting.’ My job is to make sure that they get that they have privilege.” And argued the DNC should have training for people in “how to shut their mouths if they’re white.” Brown said, “Black lives matter, and it makes me sad that we’re even having that conversation, and that tells me that white leaders in our party have failed. we have to accept that there is prejudice that exists within our own party, and we have to able to have that conversation. We cannot sweep that under the rug. We cannot continue to hide it. We cannot smash voices down when they are trying to scream, ‘Listen to me, you don’t get it.’ I’m a white woman. I don’t get it. I am pleased and honored to be here today to have the conversation. I am so excited that we’re here, and I’m listening, because that’s my job. My job is to listen to the issues.” She added, “My job is to listen and be a voice, and my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt. My job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, oh, no, I’m not prejudiced. I’m a Democrat. I’m accepting.’ My job is to make sure that they get that they have privilege. And until we shut our mouths, and we listen to those people who don’t, and we lift our people up, so that we all have equity in this country, so that we’re all fighting alongside each other, so that we are all on the same page, and we clearly get where we’re going, we’re not going to break through this. This is not just rhetoric. This is life or death. This moment in our country, the Democratic Party has the opportunity to do something different. We have the opportunity to really confront the fact that we have not been in alignment with our values. We’ve been talking a lot of smack. We need to make sure that our actions and our words and our values all match, and around the issue of race, we are so far out of alignment, I don’t even know the way back.” Brown further stated that Idaho is “so white.” And she’s been trying to reach out to anyone of color “to be honest with me.” She added, “I need schooling…so that I can go school the other white people. We need it.” She concluded that the DNC needed to train people in how to communicate, be sensitive, “and how to shut their mouths if they’re white.” http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/01/23/idaho-dems-exec-director-dnc-shou…

[RUS] master trolling - Russian style

When your neighbouring country surfs Trump's mexicana longwallata what do you say in response? If you're the Russian governor of Kaliningrad and that neighbour is Lithuania, you offer to supply the materials for free of course. About as funny as it gets in the political spheres. Also one of the finest examples of diplomatic trolling we might see. Russia Masterfully Trolls Lithuania: You Want to Build a Wall? We'll Pay for It! http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/russia-masterfully-trolls-lithuania-y…

I notice progressives also denying that he is charismatic. I notice progressives also denying that he is rich, though he has a flying castle in the sky with a gold plated bathroom. And a short while ago they were denying he was powerful, though there seems to be a good deal less of that since the rioters were hit with felony rioting charges, when under the Obama regime they were always released without charges. Nothing says "power" like giving your enemies a felony conviction.

Independent mirrors of the cpunks links? What are independent mirrors of the cpunks list? Quick search suggests only mail-archive.com. gmane appears still down and marc.info mirrors related list ending in 2005 with a lot of spam. This could be issue in case the main site kicks the bucket.

Good stuff: https://socialfeed.info/these-girls-are-training-to-knock-out-rapists-and-b… (Manually extracted the following URL, which may have a session ID cookie embedded or something and so may not work, IDK sorry (the shortened URL does not work for me - youtube-dl does not recognize the URL): wget 'https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.1790-2/16140695_1840784912841803_465707012…' ~5MiB ) Assertive self-ownership can be easily taught at a much younger age than this. Besides "no", "mine" is also a powerful word for a 2 year old: make a game to build their sense of ownership of their own body, as well as of their own choices - for suitable and age-appropriate "choices" granted to them by you their parent or guardian in a safe environment, whilst at the same time they discover/ learn to comprehend the boundaries and authority of others. Boundaries and the authority ("strength") of the parent or guardian are essential in order for the young to feel secure in this world, and this sense of security/ safety is a pre-requisite to self confidence. Good luck,
