Tammy Baldwin became the first openly gay person to be elected to the U.S. Senate. Her victory, along with the apparent wins of six out of seven openly LGBT candidates for the U.S. House, marks a new high for the number of openly LGBT members of Congress: seven. The previous high was four. The success of openly LGBT candidates come against a backdrop of partisan control in the Senate and House which will remain the same as before - Democrats control the Senate and Republicans control the House. In her acceptance speech, Baldwin acknowledged the historic nature of her win. of entrepreneurs trying to build a business Also Friday morning, the Arizona “I’m well aware that I will have the and working people trying to build some Secretary of State’s website showed honor to be the first woman senator from economic security,” said Baldwin. all precincts counted in Congressional Wisconsin, and I’m well aware that I will The six other victors Tuesday night District 9, and openly bisexual Arizona be the first openly gay member of the were incumbent Democratic Reps.

  • Madonna's Postmodern Revolution
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2021, Vol. 11, No. 1, 26-32 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2021.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Rebel Madame: Madonna’s Postmodern Revolution Diego Santos Vieira de Jesus ESPM-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The aim is to examine Madonna’s revolution regarding gender, sexuality, politics, and religion with the focus on her songs, videos, and live performances. The main argument indicates that Madonna has used postmodern strategies of representation to challenge the foundational truths of sex and gender, promote gender deconstruction and sexual multiplicity, create political sites of resistance, question the Catholic dissociation between the physical and the divine, and bring visual and musical influences from multiple cultures and marginalized identities. Keywords: Madonna, postmodernism, pop culture, sex, gender, sexuality, politics, religion, spirituality Introduction Madonna is not only the world’s highest earning female entertainer, but a pop culture icon. Her career is based on an overall direction that incorporates vision, customer and industry insight, leveraging competences and weaknesses, consistent implementation, and a drive towards continuous renewal. She constructed herself often rewriting her past, organized her own cult borrowing from multiple subaltern subcultures, and targeted different audiences. As a postmodern icon, Madonna also reflects social contradictions and attitudes toward sexuality and religion and addresses the complexities of race and gender. Her use of multiple media—music, concert tours, films, and videos—shows how images and symbols associated with multiracial, LGBT, and feminist groups were inserted into the mainstream. She gave voice to political interventions in mass popular culture, although many critics argue that subaltern voices were co-opted to provide maximum profit.

  • End of Year Report
    Overview: 2019 State Legislative Activity Every year, the traffic safety community works to eliminate fatalities on our roadways and supports policies to achieve that goal. In 2018, traffic deaths declined 2.4% according to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, 2019). Still, 36,560 people died on our roadways. Alcohol-impaired driving deaths accounted for 29% of all traffic fatalities, the lowest percentage since NHTSA began reporting fatality data in 1982 and a 3.6% reduction from 2017. Despite this progress, these deaths are preventable. More must be done to stop them. This is especially true regarding the critical threat posed by high-risk impaired drivers (repeat offenders, drivers at high blood alcohol concentrations (.15>), drive impaired repeatedly, or drive after consuming a combination of alcohol and drugs or multiple drugs). They must be screened and assessed for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders to eliminate impaired driving in the future. Responsibility.org offers technical assistance and guidance to state legislators and local coalitions working to strengthen and enforce existing laws. We advocate for proven countermeasures to eliminate impaired driving and reduce underage drinking. We promote evidence-based strategies to create deterrence, reduce recidivism, improve treatment outcomes, and create long-term behavior change. Figure 1: Alcohol-impaired driving fatalities 1982-2018 The 2019 legislative session was dominated by technical corrections or minor modifications to existing laws. Since many states have enacted major DUI legislation, recent efforts have focus improving implementation and/or enforcement of existing laws. To date, Responsibility.org has identified nearly 200 pieces of impaired driving and underage drinking legislation in 46 states.
