How is gerrymandering like ice cream?
“You wouldn’t expect Neapolitan ice cream that was 70% strawberry.” -- John Oliver [National Democratic Redistricting Committee]
“Muslim rugby player removes logos on team uniform that ‘conflict’ with his beliefs,” from Marissa Payne: “New Zealand rugby star Sonny Bill Williams looks like any other member of his team — as long as you don’t look too closely. While Williams wears the same colors as his Auckland Blues teammates, his uniform lacks advertising patches from banks, alcohol brands and gambling companies thanks New Zealand Rugby’s decision to ‘accommodate’ a request he made on the basis of ‘conscientious objection.’ Williams’s request was made on account of his Muslim faith, which he said, prevents him from doing sponsorship work for companies related to alcohol, tobacco, gambling and banks. (Under Islamic law, collecting interest on loans is prohibited.)”
“Last month, we saw a 64 percent reduction in illegal immigration on our southern border.”
— President Trump, weekly address, April 7, 2017
“For me, the bottom line is that we are fed up with the way women’s stories in the Bible have been retold in a way that sexualizes them unnecessarily and in ways that aren’t supported by the biblical texts,” she [Gail Wallace, one of the co-founders of the Junia Project] said.
“I have to do something about anti-Semitism. Who’s in?” was the message.
-- Lauren Menis of the Atlanta Initiative Against Anti-Semitism (AIAAS)
"President-elect Trump indicated in a TV interview late in December that he would abide by the One-China policy only if China were willing to accommodate him on other issues like North Korea and economics. But China rejects the idea that it must earn America’s commitment to the One-China policy by making its own concessions."
