Schmidt gave an example to illustrate his point: a teenager commits a crime, goes to juvenile hall, and is released. In America's legal system, the person can apply and have the crime expunged from their record then legally state they were never convicted of anything. But the same isn't true on the Internet. A potential employer could still run a reference check online and find out about a crim…http://www.twitpic.com/cotec1

In protests, parades, strikes and other demonstrations held in cities across the planet, activists lashed out at political and business leaders they allege have ignored workers’ voices or enriched themselves at the expense of laborers during what has been a difficult…http://www.twitpic.com/cnqbzj

A month ago, it was just something in the air. Now, it looks like we're headed for a real legislative confrontation. And man, is the finance sector freaking. Last week, on April 24th, Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Louisiana Republican David Vitter introduced legislation called the “Terminating Bailouts for Taxpayer Fairness Act of 2013 Act,” or the “Brown-Vitter TBTF Act” for short. The bill is a gun aimed directly at the head of the Too-Big-To-Fail beast. During the Dodd-Frank negotiations a few years ago, Brown teamed up with Delaware Democrat Ted Kaufman to introduce a…http://www.twitpic.com/cngyyu

Detailing a decade of research, Oxford University political economist David Stuckler and Sanjay Basu, an assistant professor of medicine and an epidemiologist at Stanford University, said their findings show austerity is seriously bad for health. In a book to be published this week, the researchers say more than 10,000 suicides and up to a million cases of depression have been diagnosed during what…http://www.twitpic.com/cnhzzm
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty When the time comes to disobey: civil disobedience and coal http://theconversation.com/when-the-time-comes-to-disobey-civil-disobedience-and-coal-13716 Greenpeace’s attempt to stop a ship carrying Australian coal is an opening shot in what is likely to be an escalating campaign of civil disobedience directed at Australia’s export coal industry. The raid is an expression of the fact that — with the exception of nuclear holocaust — nothing has threatened the future of humanity as global warming now does. During the Cold War the proliferation of doomsday weapons saw the world at times reach the brink of annihilation, a kind of madness that prompted large numbers of otherwise peaceable citizens to make a conscious decision to break the law. To date the campa…http://www.twitpic.com/cmqiaz
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty [VIDEO] What it was maybe like in Nebraska during the Keystone XL hearing http://350.org/en/about/blogs/what-it-was-maybe-nebraska-during-keystone-xl-hearing-video Last Thursday, braving heavy snow and wind, hundreds of commited citizens lined up to testify at the lone public hearing on the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. By most estimates, it was 9 to 1 against the pipeline, and administrators of the hearing had to stay late into the night to hear everyone’s testimony. Nebraska has always been ground zero for opposition to the pipeline. Keystone, if built, would go through the Olagalla Aquifer and Nebraska’s sensitive Sand Hills, putting each at risk. Ranchers and farmers, some of whom have been on their land for generations, see the pipeline as an exi…http://www.twitpic.com/cmqn6k

The local Occupy organization claims the city violated members’ civil liberties by using bulldozers and heavy equipment to remove the tents, tables, chairs and other personal items at its encampment in front of City Hall. The group’s suit, filed in Buffalo federal court, is seeking a court-ordered judgment that the city violated people’s rights, as well as ,000 in damages.

Obama — fighting against steep odds to reach a big legacy deal on deficits and debts — has personally pressed Congressional leaders for another shot at reaching an agreement similar to one that fell apart during negotiations with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in 2011. Chief of staff Denis McDonough and his deputy Rob Nabors have been consulting behi…http://www.twitpic.com/clpm54
