    Social justice includes animal protection. Animals are just like humans and deserve protection just like we do.

    Social justice includes animal protection. Animals are just like humans and deserve protection just like we do.
  •  
    Firstly, recognising that social justice includes animal protection involves acknowledging that how our behaviour affects animals matters both morally and politically. Moreover, it involves acknowledging it matters not merely because many humans care about the plight of animals. Rather, our behaviour matters because of its effect on the lives of animals themselves.

    At the border, online, at the doctor's office, you're no longer protected from unreasonable search and seizures. For the protection of the rest of the country unwarranted searches are becoming a part of everyday life because no ones covered in the fine print.

    Among other cherished values, the First Amendment protects freedom of speech. The U.S. Supreme Court often has struggled to determine what exactly constitutes protected speech. The following are examples of speech, both direct (words) and symbolic (actions), that the Court has decided are either entitled to First Amendment protections, or not.

Protecting The Freedom To Vote Against Wrongful Challenges And Intimidation | Demos - 0 views

  •  
    Protecting the freedom to vote for all eligible Americans is of fundamental importance in a democracy founded upon the consent of the governed. Clearly boundaries for poll watchers are often crossed. These challenges lead to stricter rules that need to be followed by honest, law abiding citizens that just make it harder to vote.

    Trump administration is stripping away any immigrant protection policy that it could've had left. Temporary deportation protection in favor for those with severe illnesses has been eradicated. Florida families are unprotected.

    I posted a similar article explaining that new regulations are looking to remove the Flores Decision which specifically protected immigrant children. Might be worth a read.

Supreme Court Must Protect The Individual Right To Marry, Not Limit Individual Rights - 0 views

  •  
    Applied to marriage, assuming what's not true, that marriage between two men offends me, it's not the government's role on any level to protect me from being offended. Whatever one thinks of marriage between two men or two women, the argument that such a union negatively impacts those who aren't gay, or those who blanch at marriage between gay people is not compelling. Here's hoping we don't stop at marriage in expanding individual rights, rights that are natural, and that should exist free of political or voter influence.

Pro Gun Control Arguments vs Anti Gun Control Arguments - 0 views

  •  
    A discussion and analysis of pro gun control arguments vs anti gun control arguments, and a call for reforms to both protect gun rights and limit gun crimes. As an advocate for reasonable gun laws that both protect my rights as well as supporting some gun control, it is difficult to find an article that fits me in this debate, but this has done it. Very good, and logical take on the whole debate

President Trump Has Legalized Concentration Camps | The Nation - 0 views

  •  
    The Flores Decision (which protected immigrant children) could soon be overruled. Currently children of immigrants are to be held a maximum of 20 days. New regulation could change that term to indefinitly and remove many of their protections.

Breastfeeding in Public - 1 views

  •  
    Women who breastfeed their children have the right to breastfeed in public. Some states like California protect their right to not be harrassed while doing so. Other states don't have laws that protect breastfeeding mothers right to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is shamed on but when breast are seen everywhere else nothing is said.

    As a mother who breastfed all four of my children where ever they were hungry, I would shame those who thought they could shame me. My children, my whole family in fact all ages whether they breastfed or not have a respect for a womans body especially when it comes to feeding a child. My kids do not stare or point out or act like its gross when they see a mom feeding her baby. People all around the world whether they breastfeed or not need to teach their kids to respect nature. This way in the future mothers will no longer be shamed when trying to feed their babies.
  •  
    Its so annoying that people feel like breast feeding a child in public is wrong. This is a natural thing, its a part of life. People just need to grow up and stop seeing it as sexual exposure. Its a beautiful bond between a mother and child.
  •  
    Breastfeeding is one of the most amazing things women body can do. Our society make it seen like a sexual act....Breast milk is the first healthy food for babies when they are growing up. In hospital, nurses invite patients to breastfeed their newborn because that is the best food for babies.
  •  
    It is one of the most important things to do for a child. I find it disturbing that some people go off on them and say that it looks gross. People have a problem with it because they think they are exposing themselves, They kind of are but they have a reason to do it which is for breast feeding. What would they do if they had a child and had to breast feed? I think they might change their mind a little bit.
  •  
    It really irritates me when I hear that people are so against breast feeding in public. The whole point of it is to feed the baby and give it nourishment that the baby will not get from formula. I am sure the mother does not do it with intentions to expose themselves. Sometimes what needs to be done as to be done and people must deal with it.

Next 10 Amendments: Flag burning and protected free speech - 1 views

  •  
    Is burning or desecrating the American flag a right protected by the First Amendment? Or should a new constitutional amendment outlaw both acts? The issue of desecrating the flag goes back in the courts almost 100 years. Finally in 1989, the Supreme Court decided in Texas v.

    I was watching a lecture by Michael Parenti on this subject. A few people would argue that there are other bigger problems our nation should address before this issue, but I argue that this topic is important too. Nice read.
  •  
    It is interesting to know that this has been a problem for almost 100 years it amazing. In my own opinion I feel it is disrespectful to Americans and our military. On the other hand I can see where some would think it is a right for the 1st Amendment.
  •  
    I do not think that burning the American flag is really effective as it only makes others mad. I think that people should protest if they are upset about something or believe something is unfair. I do not think that people should protest violently/aggressively, though. A lot of people protest peacefully, but some do protest violently- which only puts a harsh look on the whole situation.
  •  
    I understand that there is a lot wrong with this country and people have a right to be upset with our government and how the country is right now. I feel that the flag symbolizes much more than just our country. I feel like it stands for every man and woman fighting for this country in the military. The flag symbolizes the military people that have died for us. I feel like buring the flag is complete disrespect to those that have died for our country and their families. There are so many ways to protest your beliefs about the country, there is no need to burn the flag that I feel represents the honor of those that have died for our country.

The Ethics (or not) of Massive Government Surveillance - 0 views

  • Prominent examples of surveillance include surveillance cameras, wiretaps, GPS tracking, and internet surveillance.
  • expression of control
  • profound impact with regards to the ethics of placing individual under surveillance
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • close surveillance is much more intrusive than it has been in the past.
  • Constitution protects American citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures
  • citizens have not been given the same protection with regards to electronic surveillance
  • "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear."
    • smurphy6600
       
      This statement has an Orwellian tone to it to indicate the tone of the article to the reader as cautious, paranoid even, and fearful
  • as most people are law-abiding citizens, most ostensibly will not be targeted for surveillance and it will not impact their lives,
  • safer through the elimination of criminals.
  • the government already has the ability to track a known target's movements to a reasonable degree, and has easy access to information such as one's purchasing habits, online activities, phone conversations, and mail.
  • if the individual has been treated unfairly and procedures violated, are there appropriate means of redress? Are there means for discovering violations and penalties to encourage responsible surveillant behavior
  • allowing surreptitious surveillance of one form, even limited in scope and for a particular contingency, encourages government to expand such surveillance programs in the future
  • the danger of a "slippery slope" scenario cannot be dismissed as paranoia
  • British police are now pushing for the DNA collection of children who "exhibit behavior indicating they may become criminals in later life"
    • smurphy6600
       
      This opens a door for discriminatory profiling from government agencies and educators who report the behavior
  • M.I.T. professor Gary Marx, who argued that before implementing surveillance we should evaluate the proposed methods by asking a number of questions, which we enumerate below:
  • does the technique cross a personal boundary without permission (
  • are individuals aware that personal information is being collected, who seeks it and why?
  • consent
    • smurphy6600
       
      The issue seems to be that consumers using the technology our government tracks aren't aware of what they are consenting to due to the long and overly-articulated terms and conditions presented to them in a purposefully confusing manner in order to gain access to their data
  • human review of machine generated results
  • With the expansion of surveillance, such abuses could become more numerous and more egregious as the amount of personal data collected increases.
  • security of the data be adequately protected?
  • are the goals of the data collection legitimate?
  • In general, we feel that surveillance can be ethical, but that there have to exist reasonable, publicly accessible records and accountability for those approving and performing the surveillance in question.
  •  
    The website offers links to various sources of information on the collection and distribution of surveilled data from government agencies in an attempt to inform its readers and covers the paranoia tinted tone of those who find government surveillance in todays society to be too close to "Big Brother" methods and presents an argument for their point of view through the methods of MIT professor Gary Marx. The argument is presented in a series of questions on the ethical stance of what the government surveils, what the surveillance consists of as well as the consequences of any action taken as a result of surveillance and the reality that American citizens never consented to the constant surveillance of their personal lives. The position of inclination towards complacency is concisely summed with a strong amount of surveillance being presented by the double edged statement of "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.".
