Florida students face criminal charges for putting pepper in teacher’s drink

Really? Teachers having 12 year olds arrested for putting pepper in her drink? Arrested?!? They are 12…you are supposed to be teaching them, not having them arrested. It was a prank. Suspension. Study hall. Detention. These are suitable punishments. But calling the cops? Some teacher…can’t even maintain discipline in the classroom without involving the police. #wtf http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/27/florida-students-criminal-charges-pepper-teachers-drink Three 12-year-old girls were arrested on Friday night after they allegedly poured red pepper into a teacher’s soft drink and she complained to police

Decline of Species That Pollinate Poses a Threat to Global Food Supply, Report Warns

The birds and the bees need help. Also, the butterflies, moths, wasps, beetles and bats. Without an international effort, a new report warns, increasing numbers of species that promote the growth of hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of food each year face extinction.

The first global assessment of the threats to creatures that pollinate the world’s plants was released by a group affiliated with the United Nations on Friday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The summary will be posted online Monday. #bees #news #UN #extinction http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/27/science/decline-of-species-that-pollinate-poses-a-threat-to-global-food-supply-report-warns.html?partner=rss&emc=rss Many pollinator species are facing extinction, including some 16 percent of vertebrates like birds and bats, according to the document.

The Gulf War 25 Years Later: a US Triumph that Spawned a Problem | VICE News

25 years later, we’re intimately involved in numerous, costly, and bloody conflicts around the region. #ThanksHW ~jg #Bernie2016

The first Persian Gulf War, which ended 25 years ago to the day on Friday, seems like a distant memory in the age of asymmetric warfare and open-ended fights against irregular armed groups.
…
In 1991, an American-led coalition waged conventional war against Saddam Hussein’s army, and won easily. In 2016, an American-led coalition wages an asymmetric war against the Islamic State in the same part of the world, and is not anywhere close to winning.

No dad, no money: Illinois GOP bill proposes cutting aid to single mothers, including rape victims

It’s kinda crazy how many ways government, both federal and state/local, is out to screw the fuck out of us.

In the latest chapter of “Lets Fuck Our Citizens”: Let’s Fuck Single Moms.

Yes, let’s make life EVEN HARDER for single mothers. So your deadbeat babydaddy takes off and leaves you without support. That sucks. But NOW the government will CUT YOUR BENEFITS just to help you out. GREAT FUCKING IDEA ILLINOIS. #GOP #Illinois #SingleMothers https://www.rt.com/usa/333670-gop-bill-single-mothers/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=RSS A new bill proposed by Illinois Republicans would strip single mothers and their children of financial aid. The draft law makes no excuse for rape victims who decide not to abort, but excludes in vitro mothers.
