Under Bush, immigrant communities lived in a constant state of fear — terrorized by "Homeland Security" agents arresting anyone who appeared Latino and lacked ID. Families were separated, children left parentless, property abandoned, and long-lasting relationships severed.
This scenario — highly reminiscent of the NAZI Gestapo — has changed only slightly under Obama. Some say for the worst. Obama's campaign promise of undoing Bush's immigration strategy was, like nearly every other promise he's made, a blatant lie. Instead, he's adopted the "enforcement first" immigration approach -- the style of John McCain that Obama once mocked.
"Militarism is the way corporations maintain their access to their food supply — the planet." --Steve Martinot, Militarism and Global Warming

Fairfax County, in Virginia, is one of the nation's wealthiest. It has odd practices, such as refusing to punish police officers who are convicted of espionage or who steal from the county. The county, will, however, go after someone for $1.77-even when it is the county's error!

While most of the Democrats and Republican gubernatorial candidates are opposing same-sex marriage rights and the legalization of marijuana, Stewart Alexander has placed these two important issues at the center of his campaign. Alexander says the best means to achieve same-sex marriage rights and to support legalizing marijuana is to support a political party and the candidates of that party that has a strong record of support on both issues, "that is the Peace and Freedom Party."

This is a glimpse of a new bipedal hominid, which could possibly be our ancestor.
That this was found 4 million years ago, leads some researchers to think chimps and apes may be closer to being cousins than ancestors.
This is a repost of an article at Santa Cruz indymedia. The observation of some highly suspicious individuals was first reported a couple weeks ago, and this is a more formal description. Apparently some folks who called themselves travelers showed up and went to all the popular cafes and meeting spots, and strongly wanted to find all the radical activity. They proposed things like taking over a local drugstore, and people were very dubious when one of them thought people had seen them talking to police and offered a preemptive excuse for it.
They have left town, saying they're going to Portland.
For years US imports have doubled US exports. For 10 years, China has contributed $2 billion a day to finance US consumerism.

Two recent studies have shocked the world in regard to global warming. A phenomenon that was to happen "possibly in our lifetime" has evolved into a threat capable of transforming the world in ten years time.
A recent, extensive study of the northern polar ice caps released by climate expert Professor Peter Wadham, concluded that the Arctic Ocean would be "mostly" ice free in 10 years during the summer months. This study is a stunning compliment to research done by NASA at the South Pole, which noted that ice sheets have been losing 30 feet a year in thickness since 2003. The research concluded that the rate of melting is accelerating, creating a "runaway effect."
It was a story about the violent war against Congolese women that inspired vegan activist Lisa Shannon to get off the couch and begin training to run the rugged forest of Portland's Wildwood Trail - over 30 miles - in hopes of raising enough money to sponsor 31 women through Women for Women International, a program that supports women in war-torn regions with financial and emotional aid and education. What started as a lone run in 2005 has since blossomed into a global movement with runs in 10 states and 4 countries.

A short interview with the Lone Vet at the "Impeach ByBee Stop Torture" event on Thursday in Portland
Resistance Magazine was created as a vehicle to inform, inspire, and energize the earth liberation movement. Humans have pushed the earth to the brink of catastrophe and each day that passes brings us one step closer to a planet that can no longer sustain life.
The question has now become not what we can do, but what we must do; not what we are comfortable with, but what we are fully capable of; not what is convenient, but what is completely necessary to stop the destruction of our home.
