A Tacoma police patrol car was vandalized early today parked outside the officer's North End home, the department reported. The car's windows were smashed out and three of the tires slashed. The vandals spraypainted the rear panel and trunk area with the words, "Oscar Grant was here," Tacoma police spokesman Mark Fulghum said.
One of BP's partners in the deepwater well which exploded in April - leading to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico - has refused to pay its share of the costs so far.
According to several left-leaning critics of the 9/11 Truth Movement, some of its central claims, especially about the destruction of the World Trade Center, show its members to be scientifically challenged. In the opinion of some of these critics, moreover, claims made by members of this movement are sometimes unscientific in the strongest possible sense, implying an acceptance of magic and miracles.

--
A new report released today, The High Food Price Challenge: A Review of Responses to Combat Hunger, by the UK Hunger Alliance and the Oakland Institute, reveals that a major initiative, launched by the Group of 8 (G8), in July 2009 has failed to address the global hunger crisis, which currently affects more than a billion people.
"Cuba dissident Guillermo Farinas ends hunger strike

Thus perhaps europe will soften on Cuba if this satisfies her that human rights are now respected in Cuba.
This panel, featuring AlterNet staff writer Liliana Segura and Jack Bryson, the father of two of Oscar Grant's friends, was a part of the Socialism 2010 Conference in Oakland, CA.

I made this mix some time ago and would like to share it with you. It's all songs about nuclear war from the 1940's through the 1980's. It is equal parts history lesson, dance party, and wake for the millions who will die when that hellbomb falls.

Here's something I covered for some local independent media, which didn't run. The Portland Human Rights Commission held a hearing on immigration at the end of May. PPB and Multnomah County Sheriffs were there, as well as community groups. It's a good overview on immigration reform. And I know giving the cops quotes aren't necessarily welcome here, but they were there. I'd be remiss, writing for this other publication, if I didn't at least throw their quotes in there. Obviously, we know they're full of shit. Oh, and yes I know this thing could have been like three hundred words shorter. Presumably, someone would have edited it.
This week, my mind is with the sixteen Canadians who will be transported between their maximum security jail cells and the court to determine whether they will be held in prison until trial or released on extremely restrictive bail conditions. They are accused of organizing the protests against the elite G20 summit of world leaders that took place in Toronto at the end of June. At these protests, thousands of people took to the streets in opposition to specific policies of these twenty leading world governments or in negation of the global political and economic system in its entirety.

A verdict is expected soon in the case of the BART Police Officer Johannes Mehserle who

According to Polanyi (1944), "society at the end is treated as an appendage of the market. The economy is no longer embedded in social relations. Social relations are embedded in the economic system." The confusion of means and ends occurs institutionally. With the unfettered globalization of markets, we were eyewitnesses to epochal political realization of this transformation.

Women also play a decisive role in the Tea Party and now make up fifty-five percent of its supporters, according to the latest Quinnipiac poll. Hanna Rosin reports in Slate magazine that "of the eight board members of the Tea Party Patriots who serve as national coordinators for the movement, six are women. Fifteen of the 25 state coordinators are women."
Today in the United States, under the Democratic administration of Barack Obama, xenophobic and racist violence is escalating. The criminal agents of the Border Patrol have reached the point of killing in cold blood, before the eyes of hundreds of witnesses. On May 28, construction worker Anastasio Hern?ndez Rojas was beaten to death by some 20 agents of the U.S. Border Patrol. Then on June 7 in Ciudad Ju?rez, across the river from El Paso, Border Patrol agents fired into a group of youths on the Mexican side of of the border, murdering 14-year-old Adri?n Hern?ndez with a shot to the head. These crimes are part of a policy of racist repression looking for scapegoats, typified by the legalization of xeonophobia and police use of racial profiling in Arizona's SB 1070 law. But while Obama criticize the law, "Obama, listen, we are in the struggle," his thugs are killing on the border. It is an illusion to think that the commander in chief of U.S. imperialism, or his counterpart and semi-colonial underling, Mexican president Felipe Calder?n, will defend the workers. It is necessary to mobilize the power of the working class to defend immigrants.
Philosopher and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm never abandoned his vision of a humanist non-estranged society where persons were not commodified or mere goods producers but were emancipated and shared in social, cultural and economic freedom. He wrote "Having or Being" at age 76. His first book "Escape from Freedom" explains why people fall for totalitarian leaders.
A verdict on the murder of Oscar Grant by BART police officer is due very soon, possibly tomorrow. Is anyone planning anything in Portland when the verdict comes in?
