On Tuesday, voters who once elected Barack Obama as President woke up from their 24-month nightmare, and found many other Americans also want a return to civility, inclusiveness and the wise use of taxpayers’ money, writes Micheline Maynard.

Andy Factor survived the “night of broken glass” in Germany in 1938 and can still recall the shattering noise. But exactly 80 years later, it’s the rising sound of white nationalism that has him scared.
From fur balls to, ahem, stains, here’s some help.
The newly installed head of the Justice Department, Matthew G. Whitaker, espoused views that a constitutional scholar called “internally contradictory” and “ignorant.”

IOM, the UN Migration Agency, and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency announced today that the number of refugees and migrants from Venezuela worldwide has now reached three million.
According to data from national immigration authorities and other sources, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean host an estimated 2.4 million refugees and migrants from Venezuela, while other regions account for the rest.
“Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have largely maintained a commendable open-door policy to refugees and migrants from Venezuela, however, their reception capacity is severely strained, requiring a more robust and immediate response from the international community if this generosity and solidarity are to continue,” said Eduardo Stein, UNHCR-IOM Joint Special Representative for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela.
Colombia has the highest number of refugees and migrants from Venezuela, a total of over one million. It is followed by Peru, with over half a million, Ecuador over 220,000, Argentina 130,000, Chile over 100,000 and Brazil 85,000.
In addition to South American countries, countries in Central America and the Caribbean also recorded increasing arrivals of refugees and migrants from Venezuela. Panama, for example, is now hosting 94,000 Venezuelans.
With rising numbers, the needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela and the communities hosting them have also significantly increased.
Governments in the region are leading the humanitarian response and coordinating their efforts, including through the Quito Process, which has been an important step towards a regional approach to scale up the response and harmonize policies. The second Quito meeting of governments from the region will take place on 22 and 23 November.
To support this response, the Regional Inter-Agency Coordination Platform, established in September and composed of 40 partners and participants, including UN Agencies, other international organizations, civil society and faith-based organizations, is strengthening the operational response and on a humanitarian Regional Response Plan for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela (RMRP), to be launched in December.
The RMRP will focus on four strategic areas: direct emergency assistance, protection, socio-economic and cultural integration and capacity-building for the governments of receiving countries.

Trump backers and opponents dissect video of flashpoint at White House press conference
It lasts barely a couple of seconds, but the video of a White House staff member trying to take a microphone from the CNN reporter Jim Acosta during a chaotic press conference has become the focus of the latest online battle between Donald Trump supporters and opponents.
Jim Acosta’s “hard pass”, which gives continuous access to the White House for press events, was revoked after he challenged Trump’s description of a “caravan” of migrants moving towards the southern border of the USA, which had been a significant feature of the president’s mid-term election campaign speeches. Acosta has been CNN’s chief White House correspondent since January of this year.
Animal rights – humane rights

Law sets new space requirements for pigs, chickens and cows and also bans sale of caged eggs from 2022
It was a big night for California chickens, cows, and pigs as midterms voters overwhelmingly supported an initiative codifying the most progressive animal welfare protections in the world.
California Proposition 12, which passed with more than 61% of the vote, sets specific space requirements for confined animals raised for food.
Freddie Mercury’s love life sadly always had been in the focus of the press and public eye. There had been and still are lots of rumors and …
The video shows Mr. Acosta never touched the intern.
A few adds:
She is not an intern, but a paid staffer at the WH.
The WH later released an edited version of this video which had been doctored to make it look sinister and as if Mr. Acosta had ‘chopped’ his arm down on her. (this was done by speeding it up).
It may or may not have been the WH who doctored the video (Info Wars is mentioned as a possibility) but they knowingly posted a fake video.
That is propaganda.

Of all the things they are capable of, this one is among the most chilling for some reason.
