Radical queers brought their critique of the corporatization of the gay pride celebration into the parade Sunday afternoon.
Members of gay shame and other radical queers activists choose to protest the Gay Pride parade for substituting queer community building with corporate sponsorship. The pride parade ignores pressing issues facing members of the queer community, such as homelessness. When they joined the parade, the activists' passion for justice contrasted starkly with conservative mayoral candidate Gavin Newsom's contingent behind them. The activists peacefully joined the parade at 7th and Market Streets to carry a banner that read, "Queer mutiny - not consumer unity." About twenty protestors marched on the parade route for less than 5 minutes. The protestors dispersed when the police asked them to return to the sidewalk. Unfortunately, six activists were arrested before they were able to leave. They are being held at 850 Bryant Street and may face felony charges. For more info contact: 510/219.3450
Can you say P.N.A.C.?
![]() Now you would think that being a business partner of the brother in law and alleged financier of "Enemy No. 1" would also be considered a bona fide "conflict of interest", particularly when your mandate --as part of the 9/11 Commission's work-- is to investigate "Enemy No. 1".

if nobody is organizing one in your town.. go to your nearest street corner w/ some friends. Just please do something on this day, these students are fighting for their lives, having guns pointed at them everytime they go to a protest, the least we could do is to do something w/ them on this day in solidarity.. they really want other people in the world to join them on July 6 & 9. Student protests are revealing the weakness of the Iranian regime
Columnist Daniel Weintraub wasn't very sympathetic to the issues raised by the Mobilization, but was appalled by the police tactics used against protesters. Most importantly, he provides a context for how the police have developed these tactics in recent years, and the philosophy of suppression behind them,a context that is not really understood by the general public.
PCUN, the Farmworkers and Treeplanters Union of the Northwest will be having their annual march in the capitol this Sunday at 12:30pm. PCUN is one of the few unions left that is led by people of color, does community organizing instead of just negotiations, and isn't attached to the AFL-CIO

A preprimary was conducted over the internet by MoveOn.org. Here are the results, and a commentary.
Keep in mind that there may be also sorts of confounding factors that might scew the results.
Russ Kick's site, the Memory Hole has recently obtained a five minute, unedited video of Dubya as he is told the news about 9/11 by Andy Card--according to the official version of events.
"The Pentecost narrative of the New Testament tells us: God's spirit seized the disciples like a stormwind and drove them from the hiding places of their fear and resignation. They found a new language and confessed the living Christ. They were free for the life of new beginnings, for the life of trust, hope and love." Manfred Kock is chairperson of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD),

Thoughts on the action and aftermath of the UC Davis Tuesday action
"What is common to us ecumenically - faith in God's good creation, orientation in the disadvantaged, the losers as God's beloved children, discipleship of Christ in a difficult and confusing world and the spirit that helps us - all this is infinitely greater and more important than what separates us in our understanding of the Bible, the sacraments and the office. The separation was long overcome for us in the praxis of faith and action. Liberating theology is not only catholic or protestant." Translated from the German
On Jan. 23, about two months before the United States and United Kingdom armed forces began bombing and invading Iraq, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Iraq's oil "belongs to the Iraqi people" and the United States would hold Iraqi oil reserves in trust if (when) it occupied Iraq after a war.
Powell also said Iraqi oil "will not be exploited for the United States' own purpose."
Read this article concerning Greg Palast's lies about Cynthia McKinney. What Palast is essentially attempting to do is deny the fact that McKinney implied US Government foreknowledge of 9-11--even as he masquerades as someone who is "defending McKinney from media distortions."
In short, Palast is a more sophisticated version of the Gatekeeper Media who is attempting to dismiss any questioning of 9-11--under the cover of adopting the "progressive" position of "defending" Ms. McKinney. The real issue is this: McKinnery doesn't need any "defending" to begin with. What she suggested about American foreknowledge of 9-11 is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of American involvement and sponsorship of 9-11 itself.
Free Speech Ain't Free
Last yesterday, the 3 forest activists that were arrested after a lockdown at UC-Davis near Sacramento to protest Genetically Engineered Tree research were freed after paying $1,000 bond each (their bail was $10,000)
It is important that we feel this tragedy as a community. It is important that we share the sense of loss. It is important that we not forget all the lives affected. This is my message but my hope is that from this communal sharing of our loss and through dialogue we will strengthen and build our community so that we can speak together and gain the social recognition and merit the same social standards for protection as drivers of automobiles.
If you witnessed any of Friday's Critical Mass arrests or can offer legal support, please help.

At approximately 8 AM Friday morning, Portland Police Sergeant Jacobellis and Officers Dobson and Dean raided the Portland Peace Encampment confiscating many signs and artwork and all other items. In a clear violation of police guidelines, the Police physically restrained one of the demonstrators who was attempting to gather up his personal and Peace Camp possessions, threatened to arrest the Peace Camper for "Being an Asshole." The Police then refused to give the Peace Camp a Property Receipt, also a violation.
Despite these illegal seizures by Police, the Portland Peace Encampment continues. They request donations to replace the seized items, in particular, sign making supplies.

As many of you know, RedRed has been charged with a felony for elledgedly breaking a window during the USDA/WTO meeting protests in Sacramento. At court Friday morning she motioned for delay to gather evidence. Her next date is July 2nd. Strangely this window was not broken until Tuesday, 2 days after her arrest for the crime(hmm). Sounds to me like someone in Homeland Security is attempting to save their job and use any means neccessary to justify the amount of money spent on surveilance. Infiltraitors, line taps, marked feds, and cops were everywhere. 7 million was spent just on training. I can just imagine the equipment costs....

Narcotics officers found 265 marijuana plants during a 1999 raid on Steven Wynn Kubby's home. Kubby, a former Libertarian Party candidate for governor, contends that the marijuana was physician approved and needed to treat his cancer.
It would be nice to do a solidarity event/march with the activists in Philidelphia who are calling for impeachment and liberty from Tyranny.
There would be a lot less police brutality if police officers wore pastels instead of black or blue uniforms and drove golf carts rather than cruisers and SUVs. Let's encourage city council to pass a resolution that police officers must wear pastel colors and drive golf carts.
Mourners, cyclists, and concerned citizens will gather tonight at 7 pm to remember the cyclists killed at 39th and Belmont and all that have been killed by motorists.

During the Sacramento Ministerial protests on June 24, 2003, three comrades locked down inside the Life Sciences Building on the University of California-Davis campus where research on genetically engineered trees takes place. They have been taken into custody and are being charged with Felony Conspiracy, Failure to Disperse, Resisting Arrest, and Disturbing the Peace.
