Houston judge Lanny Moriarty • On his decision to sentence a 17-year-old honor student, who (since her parents divorced and both skipped town) has had to work both a full and a part time job just to support two siblings, to spend a day in jail, after she missed school recently. Diane Tran, who also takes dual-credit college-level courses, says that she’s often so tired that she finds it difficult to wake up for school. But that didn’t sway Moriarty, who chose to make an example of Tran. If you think this sucks, we direct you to this Change.org petition. To the parents and judge; What The Fuck?? (via swagandpassion) This is some pure fuck shit. You know good and damn well this was overkill. And now that is going to follow her the rest of her life. And for what? So you can feel high and mighty. (via inmyhead16) i was gon say I KNOW THIS AINT A WHITE KID. and of course she isnt. shes asian. of course. fuck this country. i cant. (via bad-dominicana) |
In less than four years, his administration has settled major tribal royalties disputes that had languished for years, relaxed a Bush-era rule that limited new, off-reservation casinos, included new health benefits for tribes in the sweeping 2010 health care overhaul and helped advance a landmark law that gives tribes power to prosecute serious crimes.
Now, tribes are opening their checkbooks to aid his re-election.
Tribal governments have donated more than $1 million to his campaign and his joint fundraising efforts with the Democratic National Committee. They gave $264,000 to Obama in the 2008 election, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data compiled by the non-partisan Political MoneyLine. The analysis does not include any additional money contributed by individual tribal members or the employees of tribal enterprises.
Obama has received more money directly from tribes than any other 2012 federal candidate, MoneyLine’s tally shows. Republican presumptive presidential nomineeMitt Romney, by contrast, has received $3,000 combined from two tribal sources, Oklahoma’s Chickasaw Nation and the Prairie Island Tribal Council in Welch, Minn., according to federal data.
Obama “has done more for Indian country than any president I can remember,” said Chief James Allan, chairman of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe in northern Idaho, which donated $35,800 this year to Obama and his joint fundraising committee.

Obama Revelation of the Day: In Pulitzer Prize-winner David Maraniss’ new book, Barack Obama: The Story, we get quite the insight into the president’s bullying, pot-smoking past. Money quote:
Barry also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted “Intercepted!,” and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind.

How exactly is that bullying?
I laughed so hard.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4l92ovflw1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
