04/22/18 - I read the news today.

Winnie Mandela died today.

So did 8 of 50 000 people who marched for their rights in India,

Beaten to death for being ‘impure’, ‘low-caste’, ‘untouchables’.

Fortunately today’s also the day when the upper class can finally move into the modern $11bn city constructed in Gujarat.

At Least it’s not all bad news for India. 

Thousands of Palestinian women, men and children led the peaceful march in Gaza 

Commemorating the confiscation of Palestinian-owned land in Israel.

17 died as they were shot at by Israeli forces and over 1000 were injured.

“We shot at them because they were throwing rocks at us.” ​says the Israeli government 

Just like when I punched Tom in the eye for sprinkling water at me, in kindergarten. 

Malala returned to her hometown for the first time today.

It’s been five years since she was shot for seeking education, by the Pakistani Taliban.

The airport she landed at is named after Benazir Bhutto, the female Pakistani Prime Minister

shot by the same Pakistani Taliban.

The next article shows a picture Ted Nugent of the NRA armed with two guns.

That’s a weird name for someone in the Pakistani Taliban.

He called the Parkland shooting survivors: liars, soulless and mushy-brained children.

Then I remembered Parkland is in the US. 

While Kim Jong Un enjoyed a K-pop concert in Pyongyang today,

Sisi secured his second term as Egyptian President with 97% of the votes,

against an opponent he appointed himself.

Ever since his military coup overturned the last President,

Salaries have been going down, liberties have been curtailed, terrorism has been on the rise. 

I smell the same dictatorial situation we had with Gaddafi and Libya,

but maybe the smell of oil is not strong enough for superpowers to intervene in Egypt. 

In Oklahoma, Dona Ross will be driving Uber today, after teaching 3rd Grade.

Then she will wait tables.

Special-ed teacher and former Marine Michael Turner will be mowing lawns after school. 

Because he has two daughters to raise. 

While teachers in Oklahoma and Kentucky marched to protest their low salaries,

Donald fired his Veterans Affairs Secretary through a tweet.

Anyway who blames him?

Vow to raise the minimum wage, offer free college education and bring back the American middle class...

and they might label you a ‘socialist’.
