Inside, about 50 students and university faculty are occupying the office of the school's president. They've been at it since yesterday morning, when a scrum of teachers and students dissatisfied with a decision by the school's Board of Trustees to begin charging tuition… RELATED: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/08/cooper-union-presidents-office-occupy-tuition_n_3239403.htmlhttp://www.twitpic.com/cq7sbx

When Paul Kevin Curtis was arrested by the FBI and accused of sending letters laced with the poison ricin to President Obama, he wasn't wearing a special uniform that identified him as a terrorist. But not because terrorists don't wear uniforms. “What looked at first like classic terrorism — poisoned letters sent to the president and other public officials — now seems more likely to be the product of a local feud,” USA Today reports. “In the past week, the …http://www.twitpic.com/cot66y

The movement demanding that public interest institutions divest their holdings from fossil fuels is on a serious roll. At last count, there were active divestment campaigns on 305 campuses and in more than 100 US cities and states. The demand has spread to Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Britain. And though officially launched just six months ago, the movement can already claim some provisional victories: four US colleges have announced their intention to divest their endowments from fossil fuel stocks a…http://www.twitpic.com/cotn6x

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Vermont Yankee asked to pay 0,000 in 2014 http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013304290022&gcheck=1 Every year, it seems, the Vermont Legislature looks for ways to tax, punish or shut down the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. Every year, Vermont Yankee fights them on it, sometimes in court. This legislative session has been remarkably free of talk about the Vernon plant. It’s as if the two warring parties have retreated to neutral corners to lick their wounds, amass their arsenal and plot their next move. The one exception this year is a little item in the 2014 budget bill. The state wants Vermont Yankee to pay 0,000 over the next four years to help the American Red Cross prepare an evacuation plan that includes…http://www.twitpic.com/cn0d26

Dress code: Rainy day chic. Lots of black, accented by the free turquoise pashminas Menu: Sparkling and white wine, Dalmore whisky, sushi, very fancy single bite food like tiny avocado salad tacos and shrimp with saffron foam. The last time we visited 250 West Street, the penthouse—the only newly built portion in the warehouse-to-condo conversion—was just a skeleton, but not anymore.

#occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Message from Anonymous to the citizens of the internet, We are Anonymous The United States Government is again attempting to control and censor the internet. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) has just recently passed the house. This bill would allow major internet entities such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google to voluntarily share your personal information with the U.S. Government. This will not only effect users in the United States, but also anyone with an account with these companies. This upcoming Monday, April the 22nd, we invite you to join Anonymous in a internet blackout. We encourage all web developers and website owners to go dark on this date. Display a message as to why you are going dark, and encourage others to do the same. We hope, just like the successful protest over the Stop Online Piracy Act, we can encourage the senate to stop this bill. Spread the message, and inform the world.
