Stewart Alexander says, "It is time for students to revolt, not by laying in the streets and not by organizing student demonstrations chanting 'Shame on you!' It must be a revolt using voter registration cards and making a change in the voting booth; this will be the only student action that the Democrats and Republicans will understand."
a reminder to check reality. reality can be boring, and media and political activists should remember that, and consider how to support their community.
Thursday morning, Minneapolis grand jury resister Scott DeMuth was charged with conspiracy to commit animal enterprise terrorism in Davenport, Iowa federal court. He is currently being held in the disciplinary block at the Muscatine County Jail after he was found to be in civil contempt of court for refusing to cooperate with the grand jury that convened in Davenport on Tuesday. Because the civil contempt charge was later dropped, on Friday he attended a hearing to decide on his possible release on unsecured bond; a final decision has not yet been made by

If the President had offered us a job summit a year ago, he might have been taken seriously. Now, however, after more than six million jobs have been lost — and with the bottom still falling — Obama's brain storming get-together can only be treated with contempt, if not outrage.
What is needed is immediate action, not idle chatter. We already know what works: federal stimulus money channeled directly towards job creation, a public works campaign to help rebuild the U.S. crumbling infrastructure, full funding for education and social services, and more.

Sure we all know that ACORN is against the big bad right wing g'ment , the "man" the opressor of the masses...but lets get real, morally speaking, for a few minutes. Moral folk do not get caught up in the sort of stuff the right has caught ACORN in. They do not play those games for 'the man' or to advance the end of 'the man.' As it has of been put by the confidence criminals:" you can't con an honest man." This relates to how those scams rely on the human weaknesses of the victim to get something undeservedly, illegally, immorally. What is the difference from that for the ACORN workers who have gladly gone along with this up-front "underage international prostitution ring to finance my campaign" sting? How do so many agents fighting the noble fight for truth dignity and equality and an end to oppression......end up going along?
Oh, you might say its not ACORN, its just the employees as incividual persons and it should not be taken as a reflection..... Oh really. "My husband and my kids might burn crosses in that black mans yard, and they might all proudly paste KKK stickers on their truck windows. But that should not say anything about me, a mother, nor about my childrearing practices and how I ....." Oh really The ends justifies the ends? well, don't some also remember that the means ARE the ends? Don't some scoff at the wisecrack that "we burned the village to save the village" as well? My enemies enemy is my friend? Pimps are against the legal system. The Cartels to the south are against civilized laws, courts, imprisonment, police, the established order....does that mean we should take them as allies in the strugle for life liberty and dignity?

A statement expressing our reaction and process regarding the Tim Calvert/ Valdas Anelauskas situation.
Oregon fur trapping begins 12/1 and runs through 3/15.

This Saturday, there will again be the annual Children's Peace Fair sponsored by a number of local anti-war activists and peace groups. This event is particularly important in light of the increased attempt to militarize youth. It offers families a chance to celebrate peace in community. The Children's Peace Fair has been a Portland tradition for at least a decade and traditionally takes place the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Portland police officer who was involved in the death of a mentally ill man was put on administrative leave following an investigation into the use of force against a 12-year-old girl last weekend, the police chief said Thursday.
David Sokolowski was excited by the promise of starting a full time waiting position at the recently opened Vietnamese/American restaurant Toast & Pho. Toast & Pho, located at 103 NW 21st Ave., opened Sunday, November 1. By Monday Sokolowski was fired, and left unpaid for nearly two weeks of work. On Sunday, November 8, Sokolowski confronted his former employer, and with help from workers involved with the Portland Restaurant Workers Association (PRWA), Sokolowski received his due.
Al Gore calls out the astroturf protesters, who numbered in the hundreds, it seemed, outside Keller Auditorium and in the park just west of it.
I have never seen a fabri-protest before, but this was wild, complete with a band playing supposed Patriotic music (heard some tune about "remember the twin towers"...not my idea of patriotism!) on a bandstage, and vendors selling AFP and Teabagger T-shirts. Can we find out who poured the money into the staging of protests of Al Gore and his message about Global Warming, and perhaps use the courts to do so? This is a stain on Portland that should not resurface!!

On Novermber 17, Minneapolis-based activists Carrie Feldman and Scott DeMuth refused to testify in front of a grand jury in Davenport, Iowa, and were found to be in contempt of court.
The federal government's Green Scare campaign took another depressing turn Tuesday morning as a federal district judge in Iowa ordered the detainment of Twin Cities activists Scott DeMuth and Carrie Feldman at a contempt hearing. As previously reported, DeMuth and Feldman were subpoenaed to a grand jury in Davenport, Iowa, compelling them to testify regarding a animal rights-related vandalism incident at the University of Iowa.
Feldman and Scott spoke to the local press and 30 to 40 supporters at a rally beforehand in Davenport, then refused to testify. At the contempt hearing, the judge offered both immunity, but they still refused to talk, and were taken away. The judge believes they will remain in jail until they comply or the jury ends (likely in 11 months).

The NATO mission in Afghanistan has been shaken by the news that two Czech officers were found wearing Nazi insignia. The symbols of SS battalions on their helmets has resulted in the two men being suspended. Their commanding officer has also been suspended amid reports that he'd ordered a cover-up. The two soldiers recently returned from Afghanistan and received state awards.
In the ten years since the World Trade Organization (WTO) protests in Seattle, global opposition to free trade and "globalization" has exploded. The general public now has a basic understanding of how the world economy works ... against them: companies scour the globe searching for slave wages, which help push down wages in "developed" countries; any regulation that reduces profits — environmental, financial, labor, etc. — is destroyed or ignored.
The two focal points of the anti-globalization movement have been dismantling of the WTO and free trade agreements; both legitimate targets. However, what happens if both goals are accomplished? Mission Accomplished?
The Reed student newspaper thought it was 'funny' to publish an article about gassing all the Jews on campus. Given the context of recent swastika graffiti at Lewis and Clark College, and the attempts of some students to downgrade the importance of Holocaust Denial, and although some college staff and students have apologized, anti-racists should continue to monitor the situation.
