In light of what happened last night, I wanted to make sure everyone knows:
If you get your health coverage via the Affordable Care Act, and you enroll in a Qualifying Health Plan for 2017 by the end of the current Open Enrollment period (January 31, 2017), you will have coverage through the end of calendar year 2017. The GOP will probably prioritize repealing the Act, so who knows what happens for 2018, but there are laws in place which ensure that you’ll keep your 2017 coverage.
If your situation dictates, PLEASE make sure you’re enrolled in a QHP before the end of Open Enrollment.
Update: In order to ensure you’e covered throughout 2017, make sure you’re enrolled by DECEMBER 15, 2016
soon south korean president park geunhye may agree to the GSOMIA (general security of military information agreement) pact with japan. japan is now pushing for an agreement in case park geunhye resigns.
they say it’s for the “protection” of south korea from north korea’s nuclear weapons but THIS IS THE EXACT SAME SHIT THAT JAPAN HAD ONCE PROMISED A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. they are using our “safety” as an excuse to take military control over us.
do you know about the terrible japanese colonisation that had made thousands of koreans suffer? it’s about to happen again.
please, please search 한일군사정보보호협정 on naver.com to raise more awareness among koreans and let the korean government know that this CANNOT happen. we have to do everything we can. our ancestors did not sacrifice themselves for a freedom that would last south korea no longer than one hundred years. i literally have goose bumps as i’m typing this. please, please, please just copy and paste 한일군사정보보호협정 on naver. we were able to stop this once back in 2012, let’s stop this again. we are under a HUGE threat at the moment. this is serious. this is urgent. this is terrifying.

In the wake of the US election, as well as many other events in other countries recently where we’re seeing a definite shift to the right and to extremism, one that isn’t just silent and private, but open and active, I think many people will find themselves trying to change things in any way they can, one of them being going to the source of the problem and trying to change some very deeply held problematic views.
What follows after the cut is a collection of tips I’ve gathered as a moderator and active member of an online community with more than 250 000 members, one specifically geared towards changing views. Not just a place to debate and yell at each other, but a place where people come specifically to have their views changed (sometimes they actively want to change views that are damaging to them in some way, and sometimes they’re simply open to that change, but still firmly believe in being right.)
I have been at this for two years now. We’re cooperating with college professors who give their students assignments that consist of actively participating in our community. We’ve had studies written about us. I have seen people do a 180 on incredibly emotional social issues – be it race, sexuality, gender, abortion, rape culture, religion, politics in general, etc – more times than I can count. I see it every single day and this is not an exaggeration.
I hope you’ll find it helpful and if you do, consider reblogging so more people see it.

Another suggested, “we can hit him with creating a public disturbance.”
“Gotta cover our ass,” remarked a third.
This should 100% be felony charges with guaranteed jailtime if proven true.
Exactly, this kind of abuse of power is extremely dangerous because it erodes the rule of law. There is very little legitimacy left in the American justice system and people can’t be expected to respect authority when it behaves like this. It’s really hard to see how the US will be able to pull out of the tailspin it’s in.
Here’s a petition calling on DOJ to investigate harassment and detaining of people who film police: LINK
