A Bronx school teacher, who is also the wife of a Rockland County sheriff's deputy, admitted to having sex with one of her students. Not only will she avoid jail but she will also not lose her teaching license.

Dori Myers is a 29-year-old social studies teacher in the public school system who apparently just learned the privileges of marrying a cop. This month, she pleaded guilty to a criminal sex act with a child which is a class D felony and requires her to register as a sex offender.

According to court records, Myers was arrested on January 19 of this year and immediately pleaded not guilty. At the time, her attorney said that she is "a model citizen who looks forward to clearing her name."

This teacher didn't exactly clear her name, but she did get incredibly lax treatment, especially considering the fact that the state of New York currently hold tens of thousands of people in jails for non-violent drug crimes.

Small scuffles broke out Saturday as police in Portland, Oregon, deployed "flash bang" devices and other means to disperse hundreds of right-wing and self-described anti-fascist protesters.

Four people were arrested during the protests, the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement Saturday night. Officers also seized "multiple weapons throughout the day," police said.

A reporter for The Oregonian/OregonLive was bloodied when he was struck by a projectile. Eder Campuzano said later on Twitter he was "okay."

Comment: Is Portland ground zero for the next American civil war? It certainly seems that tensions are running quite high in this liberal haven. It's no accident that these right-wing groups have chosen Portland as the site of their repeated protests, since it seems their goal is direct confrontation. That this powder keg is going to explode at some point seems a forgone conclusion.

Transgender women should have the right to remain members of the Freemasons but only if they joined as a man, the UK's largest lodge, the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE), has said.

UGLE, which was founded in 1717 and has been male-only for centuries, issued new guidance to its 200,000 members in England and Wales, stating that "a Freemason who after initiation ceases to be a man does not cease to be a Freemason". It added that those who have transitioned from female to male can also apply, reports the Times.

US federal judge orders restoration of DACA, says its rescission lacks 'rational explanation'

A US federal judge has sided with the plaintiffs in a case filed against the Trump administration's move to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which had sparked a wave of protests in September.

DC District Judge John Bates on Friday upheld his earlier ruling from April 24, that found the White House's decision to scrap the policy, which has shielded about 800,000 migrants from deportation since it was adopted in 2012, was "arbitrary and capricious."

"The Court therefore reaffirms its conclusion that DACA's rescission was unlawful and must be set aside," he wrote in a 25-page opinion on Friday.

The court argued that the memorandum issued by Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in June, that was supposed to offer a legally sound explanation for the government's action, failed "to elaborate meaningfully on the agency's primary rationale for its decision: the judgment that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional."

Apparently it is offensive for anyone who is not Latina to tweeze her eyebrows a lot.

According to a piece in Marie Claire, deciding to pluck your eyebrows so that they are very thin is "problematic" and "cultural appropriation."

The author, Krystyna Chávez, explained that she was absolutely horrified when she saw a photo of Rihanna with skinny eyebrows.

An open letter to The Guardian on Nicaragua

Nicaragua

The Guardian has been one of the most inaccurate outlets for reporting what is occurring in Nicaragua. What is happening is a US regime change operation, working with oligarchs and big business interests in Nicaragua and supported by the Catholic Church, a long-time ally of Nicaraguan oligarchs. The US operates by spending tens of millions annually over many years to create an NGO complex that dominates Nicaraguan human rights groups, environmental, women's groups and others. They have also given aide to a small minority of right-wing youth with tens of thousands of dollars and training.

Some of these youth also made a trip to Washington, DC sponsored by Freedom House, long noted for its ties to the CIA, where they met with extremist, Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Just yesterday, Rubio threatened war in Nicaragua claiming it was in the national security interests of the United States because the conflict would result in mass migration and drug trafficking into the US. He seems willing to make anything up to achieve regime change.

The statement added that some 6,800 terrorists had been treated in the clinic.

Free Speech: Inducing people's employers to fire them should be a civil wrong

If you aren't from Australia or New Zealand you may be tempted to think of Anzac (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day as simply a variation of Veteran's Day or Remembrance Day-but for many Aussies (and Kiwis), it's a little bit like Veteran's Day combined with the Fourth of July or St. Patrick's Day. It is a deeply patriotic holiday that many regard as a semi-sacred, particularly because we celebrate it on April 25 to mark the anniversary of the day in 1915 when Anzacs arrived on the shores of Gallipoli, Turkey to fight in a battle that would result in over ten thousand soldiers losing their lives. Like it or not, Anzac Day has become patriotic mythology.

To mark Anzac Day in 2015, Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) reporter Scott McIntyre took to Twitter and wrote: "Remembering the summary execution, widespread rape and theft committed by these 'brave' Anzacs in Egypt, Palestine and Japan." To make matters worse, he also asked "if the poorly-read, largely white, nationalist drinkers and gamblers pause today to consider the horror that all mankind suffered." Then to round things off he added that Australia and its allies perpetrated the largest single-day "terrorist attacks in history" by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

European Federation of Journalists chief: Belgium disrespects information access laws, charges fees

The head of the largest journalist organization in Europe told RT that Belgium doesn't respect the basic rules on access to information, blasting nation's decision to charge the press with 'security fees' at the EU events.

The Benelux country is under fire for wanting to force local journalists and reporters into paying €50 ($ 60) every six months for mandatory security screenings if they wish to cover the EU summits. The move was widely blasted by the media organizations as "discriminatory," and denounced by the European Commission.

"Belgium is not respecting the standard laws with regards to access to information," Ricardo Gutierrez, the general secretary of the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) told RT. "Access to information is a fundamental right in Europe. The decision [to charge the media with security fees] goes against it."
