Many corporations have seen record profits in recent years, which have fueled buying sprees on Wall Street, pushing the DOW Jones to it’s all-time high. But, the income gap between workers and CEOs, which has gone up almost 20% since 2009, shows that all that profit is going straight to the top. This is exactly why many people don’t feel the effects of the modest economic recovery – because this recovery is not our recovery – all the gains are going directly to the top 1%..http://www.twitpic.com/cnhyi1

As someone who travels a lot for work, I feel strongly about the good or ill effects of the mega-global travel industry as I see it either supporting local economies and cultures — or trampling on them, or, just as awful, homogenizing the world and all of its precious variability. I went to Ecuador last March with G Adventures – they supported my trip with a ticket for me to see what they are doing in terms of protecting local micro-environments in the Galapagos. They also have started a program …http://www.twitpic.com/cl2q19

It is one of the sacred rights we have to be able to be informed and retrieving information without barriers is essential. We have had so many people fighting for freedom of information – including Bradley Manning and Aaron Swartz [1][2][3], who’s death spawned #PDFtribute from researchers opening their copyright work to the public. It is an affront to our rights and the oath of office our government officials take “to uphold the interests of the people” whom they serve.

I did not actually stalk Ina Drew, the chief investment officer who resigned from JPMorgan Chase following the bank’s billion loss, as I reported on her for the magazine last October. But I did think about her for many of my waking moments throughout the summer of 2012, as I reported the story. I also showed up at her home once. I rang the doorbell, and met her husband, a tall, genial-looking man who told me that she was not available and would not talk to me, not that day and not anytime soon….http://www.twitpic.com/ce6ai7

In the last decade I think it’s fair to say you’ve made a lot of headlines with your powerful criticisms of the US, US imperialism and George W Bush. Now Barack Obama is president of the US, do you see a very different United States? Hugo Chavez: No. I wish that were the case, but Obama… there’s the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, the same accusatio…http://www.twitpic.com/ccrcwb

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black Tell them I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me. Leave the men where they lay They'll never see another day Lost my soul, lost my dream You can't take the sky from me. I feel the black reaching out I hear its song without a doubt I still hear and I still see That you can't take the sky from me. Lost my love, lost my land Lost the last place I could stand There's no place I can be Since I've found Serenity And you can't take the sky from me.http://www.twitpic.com/c5pzwv

Just 10 years ago I wasn’t sure if I’d see same-sex marriage legalized in our country in my lifetime. And now I feel certain of it. So if I go on, if I gush, there’s a reason. Sure, marriage is by far not the final frontier in achieving our full and total equal rights. But it would be such both real (the 1,138 benefits, rights and protec…
