SAVE FARELESS SQUARE PROTEST AND PICKET SET FOR WEDNESDAY 9AM NOVEMBER 18 AT PBA
Portland Business Alliance, for years, has pushed sit-lie (since overturned by the courts) and axing or cutting back on Fareless Square to 'eliminate' or 'marginalize' the poor, low-income folks who live and work in downtown Portland. This Wednesday morning 9am protest on Nov. 18 at PBA's Black Box Bldg is intended to be a massive, militant protest against PBA and TriMet's proposed cutbacks (charging for buses) in 'Fareless' Square, starting Jan. 2010.

Obama is a sociopath, but, it's nothing personal
Obama is a sociopath, but that shouldn't shock. He's a U.S. President, and Commander-in-Chief of the largest, most lethal arsenal in history, which could destroy the world many times over, and, which has a budget many times the size of the next 10 national military budgets combined.

Ipso facto, he's a sociopath. But, it's nothing personal.

advocate of indigenism 10.11.2009 23:18
Every radical should probably read this
It would be a step in the right direction if everyone interested in radical politics were to read the essay "I Am Indigenist" by Ward Churchill. At this time the vast majority of non-indigenous activists, social critics, and revolutionary organizations (with a few notable exceptions) still act with little regard to the worlds indigenous populations. This situation MUST change if we hope to build true and lasting justice, anywhere. Even if you are unable to attend an upcoming study group discussion on this important essay, we urge you to find the time to read and consider it.

Global trade fell 30 percent three years after the crash. The US gross domestic product shriveled 40 percent. In 1932, every fourth American was without a job. In Germany, industry only produced half of what was produced three years before. Keynes recommended state economic programs and called into question the theory of self-regulating markets.

San Francisco energy policy disconnects from San Francisco Rep. Nancy Pelosi's
San Francisco's new energy policy, CleanEnergySF, conflicts with that of its 8th District Congressional Representative, for the past 23 years, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi is one of the nation's leading advocates of nuclear power, who, in 2007, described herself as born again nuclear and supported that year's failed attempt to overturn California's ban on new nuclear plant construction

The Coming U.S. Budget Attack
The United States is moving backwards...fast. State budget cuts are decimating essential health and social services; public education is being destroyed; the social safety net is in tatters. To make matters worse, all of this is occurring when the loss of jobs stands at a twenty-six year high with no end in sight.

But this is only phase one.

Dear Straight Anarchists. WTF? A Radical Queer Complaint from Queens of Trailer Trash
On September 24th some of the most militant politicized street protests the States have seen in nearly a decade countered the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. Anarchist Queers and Trannies were on the frontlines of this struggle; bringing the numbers, the flare, and the wrecking crews. Radical Queers fought police and did everything they could, with what they had, not to back down. A days worth of tear gas, rubber bullet attacks, and fending off straight-idiot-liberals, set the tone for what would be a night of ravenous Queer revenge. A single march of 200+ Queers, Trannies, Womyn, POC, and some allies bashed the fuck back; causing the most property destruction contained to a single neighborhood in Pittsburgh during the protests. So other Anarchists, why the fuck are you ignoring us?

PFP Candidate Alexander Propose Releasing 50,000 California Inmates
Alexander says the most efficient means to deal with California's over crowded prisons would require state lawmakers abolishing the Three-Strikes Law and remanding more than 30,000 non-violent offenders to their original courts for re-sentencing; however, "that will not likely occur because a majority of the state's lawmakers are more concerned with protecting and preserving the prison industrial complex rather than dealing with this serious threat to human health and public safety.

He's already copped a plea in another City Hall corruption case and plans to testify against the Mayor. Oh, where is the iconic film maker John Waters when we need him the most?
