Handmade Raft in Lake Merritt for West Coast Port Shutdown

Posted by

In the early hours of December 11th an autonomous group of individuals launched a handmade raft in Lake Merritt, the SS Don’t Let the Banks Punk You Out. Their aim is to bring attention to the occupy movement, which has been evicted from Frank Ogawa/Oscar Grant Plaza and has faced repression across the country and all over the world.

Time for the Hood to Occupy

Posted by

Happening in Phoenix AZ: Bulletin: Police in small numbers continue to destroy or “confiscate” (Steal) private property at OccupyPhoenix and elsewhere. This is clearly the example of a police culture that intimidates and harasses the public trust. The Public Trust is not an organization nor a governing entity or a corporation, what this is: as it too has become corrupted and exploited to provide repression of class. (There are no Classes. In Equality.) The Public Trust is the People’s and the expectation that police serve the people by dedication to … Continued

Rumpelstiltskin’s got nothing on the Koch brothers. At least the imp gave something which no one else could to the poor miller’s daughter before demanding her first-born son! But in today’s America, the Koch brothers — no less creepy than Rumpelstiltskin — will provide a service, charge you higher than most for it, trample the competition offering the same or better service for a lower price, and, yes, even spy on you.   And their net is spreading ever wider, with no end in sight, it seems. How can any business deal be kept from you … Continued
