In the United States, daylight saving time came to an end in the early hours of Sunday

Democrats In Red States Get Last Minute Surge Before Midterms - Duration: 3:56.
Well, here we are, folks.
At this point, we are now just a few days away from what may be the most consequential
midterm elections of our lifetimes.
And, with a few days left to go, Democratic candidates in solidly red states have actually
seen a bump in the polls, giving a little bit more hope to be fact that Democrats might
actually win back the Senate.
Now, the House of Representatives, at this point, is the Democrats to lose.
And that's mostly speaking just from historical comparisons.
It is likely, based on history alone, that the Democrats would be the ones to win the
House of Representatives.
But the Senate has been more of a tossup.
After all, the Democrats have more people up for reelection than the Republicans.
So, it's more difficult for them to take back the Senate when they actually have to defend
more seats than they get to challenge.
But nonetheless, in several very tight races in Arizona and Texas, Democrats in this last
less than a week now before the election, have seen massive bumps to their poll numbers.
In fact in Arizona, the Democrat has now actually taken the lead.
The poll numbers flipped from where they were just a couple weeks ago.
And in the state of Texas, the polling averages show Beto O'Rourke with five points of Republican
Ted Cruz.
Now, I believe that 538 only gives the Democrat, I think, less than a 10% chance of taking
back the Senate.
And I think 10% might be a little generous.
Republicans are still actually favored to win those two elections, Arizona and Texas.
But what we're seeing with the way these races have been close in areas where they should
not have been closed, these should have been blowout elections by both Republicans, especially
Ted Cruz.
All right, this is a guy who actually is fairly liked by Republicans, some of them, at least
down in Texas.
The rest of the world, not so much.
But this should have been a blowout for him.
And instead, he's fighting for his life right now.
So, even if these Republicans win, it is not a defeat for the Democratic Party or for Democratic
Progressive ideals.
And that needs to be the big take away.
And I'm not trying to go ahead and give a concession speech because I think we're gonna
lose the Senate.
I would love to see us do that.
But I also don't want to see people walking around dejected, thinking that we just lost
big time, and we got another six years of Cruz and these other idiots, or that, "Oh,
there's nothing we can do to stop Donald Trump now."
That's not true.
The amount of people that we have seen energized, mobilized, and even early voting so far in
these midterms has been spectacular.
We need to increase voter turnout, not just this year, but every year.
We have to get to those 70, 80, 90% numbers of voter turnout here in the United States.
And if we keep up the energy, if we keep up the mobilization and the get out the vote
efforts, and the efforts to fight back against voter suppression, we can do it.
We can push Progressive ideals.
And it may not happen in this election, but it could happen in the next one, or the next
one.
But if we stop pushing, if we stop fighting, if we feel too defeated to get back up on
Wednesday morning, then Republicans definitely did win.
But if we get back up and we don't stop fighting for a second, then even though they retained
those seats, it's still a major win for Progressives.

Violent Extremism in the U.S. | NowThis World - Duration: 7:38.
The U.S. has a problem with extremism.
But it might not be the kind you're thinking of.
In terms of sheer numbers of attacks in the U.S. over the last decade, one group in particular should stand out to you.
11 worshippers shot and killed in a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh by a man shouting anti-Semitic slurs.
14 pipe bombs at the doors of leading Democratic politicians and donors, and CNN.
Two black customers shot in a grocery store in Kentucky by a white man after he failed to make it inside a predominantly black church minutes before.
All within the last two weeks.
White supremacist and other forms of right-wing violence are currently the deadliest active domestic extremist movements in the U.S.,
according to data from several civil rights groups that track hate crimes and extremist violence.
Southern Poverty Law Center is one of those groups.
We spoke with the center's Heidi Beirich, who's been following extremist movements for almost two decades, to help break it all down.
Let's just start with the numbers.
Over the last decade, right-wing extremists committed more than 70% of extremist-related murders, according to a report published earlier this year
by the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism.
The Government Accountability Office similarly reported in 2017 that right-wing extremists were responsible for 73% of fatal extremist incidents since 9/11.
The most common groups victimized by these extremists are those who are black, Hispanic, or part of a multi-racial couple or family.
It's important to note that right-wing domestic extremism is an umbrella term under which various right-wing ideologies fall in the U.S.
Crimes committed by people who are anti-government, anti-semitic, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, and fascist, among other things,
also fall under this category.
But of all the sub groups that fall under right-wing domestic extremism, white supremacists have committed the most attacks in recent years,
like the Charleston church shooting and Charlottesville attack.
[Beirich]: When we talk about terrorism at the Southern Poverty Law Center, we're talking about white supremacy,
and what I mean by that is somebody who believes the white race is literally better than all the other races,
and these folks usually believe that the United States should be what they call a white ethnostate.
[Host]: When it comes to racially-motivated hate crimes, black Americans are overwhelmingly targeted.
They make up 66% of the victims of racially-motivated hate crimes since 1995.
A recent report by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino
shows that anti-black hate crimes were the most common of any in at least five of the ten largest U.S. cities in 2017.
And when it comes to extremist ideologies, there have been incidents of attacks inspired by the so-called Islamic state.
For example, the mass shootings at Pulse Nightclub in 2016 and a San Bernardino health center in 2015.
But statistically, white American men in the U.S. pose a bigger threat than foreigners committing acts of extremism.
But you might not know that based on some of the coverage and political rhetoric surrounding extremism.
[Donald Trump]: Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.
I think Islam hates us.
I want surveillance of certain mosques, OK?
[Host]: Journalists have also been complicit in the narrative that often paints white perpetrators as 'quiet' or 'lone wolves' rather than labeling them as 'terrorists,'
as they're often quicker to do with non-white perpetrators.
Extremist attacks committed by those who are Muslim receive on average 357% more U.S. press coverage
than those committed by non-Muslims, according to a recent university study. [
[Beirich]: If all the domestic terrorists who were white males were covered as heavily, and connectected together in one story
[...] we would have a different image that would come to our mind.
[Host]: In fact, Muslims and Jews, are among the most frequent religious targets of white supremacist violence.
Muslims comprised 24% and Jews, 54%, of victims of religiously-motivated hate crimes,
according to the FBI's most recent data.
[Beirich]: In people's minds, they don't really put together that this is a pattern of violent activity connected to one ideology,
basically, white supremacy, in the same way that they do when they think about extremist Muslim violence.
[Host]: But when it comes to actually being charged with terrorism, recent data from the investigative nonprofit The Nation Institute
shows that when terrorist incidents result in arrest, Muslim perpetrators are far more likely to be charged than far-right perpetrators.
A very small number of white supremacist cases do result in terrorism charges.
But what about the Oklahoma City bomber? What about the Parkland school shooter?
Indeed, all of these people had a well-documented history of racist, homophobic, or anti-Semitic views.
[Beirich]: There is a very, very narrow range under the law that applies to domestic terrorism where someone can actually be charged for terroristic offenses.
It usually involves things like, did they use a weapon of mass destruction?
So you could have a person committing an act of terrorism internationally, that is exactly the same as someone doing it domestically,
and you're going to get two completely different sets of charges.
[Host]: Though there are varying definitions, under the federal U.S. criminal code, domestic terrorism is defined as,
Beirich says domestic terrorism legislation tends to be stronger at the state level than federal.
While some politicians have called on the government to pass a domestic terrorism statute, other people say that would be federal overreach.
It's also important to note that different groups have different standards for tracking extremist violence.
But no matter which way you look at it, data overwhelmingly show that white men are committing more acts of violent extremism in the U.S. than any other group.
And it's on the rise.
The number of hate groups in the U.S. have been ticking up in the last few years. White supremacist murders more than doubled in from 2016 to 2017.
Hate crimes also surged.
And this hate has found a home online.
Major tech platforms including Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have come under scrutiny over whether they're doing enough to monitor and block this hateful rhetoric.
Increasingly, white supremacists with significant followings have been booted from the platforms,
but tech companies also face pushback over whether those actions amount to censoring free speech.
Beirich says, this kind of thinking isn't likely to go away anytime soon, and that everyday citizens who want to combat this problem
can write letters to tech companies and local representatives to lobby for increased oversight.
But ultimately, she says, it's up to the government to track these movements more closely.
[Beirich]: White supremacy started with our constitution. It's part of our history. It's something we battled against for decades
to get equal rights for people of color.
And if we want to get rid of it, we're going to have to first of all realize how dangerous it is, and then defeat that way of thinking here at home.

Racist robocall targets Abrams and Oprah as Trump heads to Georgia US news - Duration: 3:03.
Racist robocall targets Abrams and Oprah as Trump heads to Georgia US news
A robocall apparently from a white supremacist group has injected racism directly into the Georgia governor's race, a tight contest already the subject of race-laden debate over ballot access and voter suppression.
The Democratic candidate, Stacey Abrams, is campaigning to be the first black female governor in US history. Republican Brian Kemp, who oversees elections as Georgia's secretary of state, vehemently denies charges that he has used his office to make it harder for minorities to vote.
Both candidates condemned an automated telephone call filled with racist and antisemitic statements that was sent to an unknown number of Georgians.
The voice on the call impersonated Oprah Winfrey, the billionaire media titan who came to Georgia on Thursday to support Abrams. It said it was paid for by The Road to Power, a group organized by Scott Rhodes of Idaho, who has been linked to several other racist robocalls including a recent effort in Florida, where the Democrat Andrew Gillum would become the first black governor in his state's history.
Kemp issued a statement calling the tactic "vile" and "contrary to the highest ideals of our state and country", and condemning "any person or organization that peddles this type of unbridled hate and unapologetic bigotry".
The Abrams camp blasted the call but also took a shot at Kemp and his highest-profile supporter, President Donald Trump, who will campaign in the state on Sunday. A top Abrams aide said Kemp and Trump have contributed to a poisonous atmosphere, and that Kemp has been silent on previous racially loaded attacks on Abrams.
"These automated calls are being sent into homes just days before President Trump arrives, reminding voters exactly who is promoting a political climate that celebrates this kind of vile, poisonous thinking," said Abrams spokeswoman Abigail Collazo.
Abrams sidestepped the issue in brief public remarks as she greeted voters at an Atlanta shopping complex along with her local congressman, the civil rights veteran John Lewis.
"Georgia has long been on a path of change and evolution," Abrams said. She also said the election is about issues like expanding Medicaid insurance and focusing state spending on public education, job training and small business start-ups.
"I'm the only candidate with a plan to get that done and to do that without vitriol, without vilifying people," she said.
Lewis, the 78-year-old who as a young man was severely beaten by police as he fought for voting rights in the Jim Crow south, said: "This young lady is playing a major role in helping liberate all of us, liberate the state of Georgia, liberate the South, liberate America."
Kemp did not address the robocalls at his only scheduled campaign stop on Saturday, at a Cuban restaurant in a north-Atlanta suburb. He told a packed crowd the race was a simple choice between economic prosperity under Republican leadership or a turn to "socialism" under Democrats. He then blasted Abrams' policy pitches on healthcare and education.
Two men protesting Kemp's immigration policy were forcibly removed. As a TV crew from MSNBC tried to film the hecklers being removed, a Kemp supporter physically blocked their path.
Someone out front, meanwhile, was wearing a giant chicken suit and holding a sign that read "too chicken to debate", an allusion to Kemp withdrawing from a debate scheduled on Sunday in favor of appearing in Macon with Trump.

United Nations Official Claims Migrant Caravan Just a "Normal Event" - Duration: 2:32.
A United Nations official has declared that the migrant caravan is a "normal event,"
and says the United States should not reinforce our border against them.
Joel Millman, who is a spokesman for the United Nations, also said it was wrong to call it
an "invasion," and we should view the caravans as "normal."
The clash of ideologies and ideas between the United States and the United Nations is
likely why President Trump has opted to defund several programs within the United Nations,
the latest being the Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
The New York Times describes the agency as providing assistance to millions of Palestinian
refugees.
According to The Hill, the UNRWA the United States has been UNRWA's biggest donor since
its inception and contributes a disproportionate amount towards Palestinian refugees compared
to other refugees around the world.
Millman also addressed President Trump's plan to place U.S. military on the border,
by saying, "Militarising the border is not something we are ever in favor of."
From Yahoo News
The caravan of migrants making its way through Mexico is "kind of a normal event" and
the United States ought not to reinforce its border against them, a United Nations official
said on Friday.
With days to go before mid-term elections, U.S. President Donald Trump has called the
surge of people an "invasion", ordered troops to the border and suggested any rock-throwing
by migrants should be treated as equivalent to gunfire.
Joel Millman, a spokesman for the U.N.'s International Organization for Migration (IOM),
told a U.N. briefing in Geneva there had been similar caravans for many years, and the group
was still hundreds of miles away from the United States.
"So (using) words like 'invasion' and things like that is assuming that this is
a new phenomenon which is a drastic emergency, and I don't think that anyone at IOM would
share that view," he said.
"This is kind of a normal event."
Militarised frontiers tended not to deter people from crossing borders, he added.
Instead, they increased the profits of criminal people-smuggling gangs and led to deaths among
migrants.
"Militarising the border is not something we are ever in favor of," he said.
