There's an app for that http://rabble.ca/news/2013/05/want-to-start-next-occupy-revolution-theres-app Veteran filmmaker and Occupy activist Velcrow Ripper has launched a new app designed to inspire a new breed of Occupy protests. The app is part of the global release of Mr. Ripper's newest documentary Occupy Love, a film that traces the origins of the Occupy Movement and then explores the thematic relationships between the protests against Wall Street with other global movements such as the Arab Spring and the European Summer. “The real aim of the Occupy protests,” says Mr. Ripper, “goes deeper than politics. I believe that what we were showing out there, in a very new way, was the power of commun…http://www.twitpic.com/cqf93q
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Google's Schmidt Concerned by Lack of Internet 'Delete Button' http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2418601,00.asp?google_editors_picks=true The permanence of information on the Internet, in some cases, goes against the basic principle of fairness in America, Google's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, said during a Monday talk at New York University. 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

We have fundamentally changed the rules of the game and the rules of engagement. Today drone strikes, night raids, and U.S. government–condoned torture occur in corners across the globe, generating unprecedented civilian casualties. Investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill (author of BLACKWATER: The Rise of the World's Most Mercenary Army) traces the rise of the Joint Special Operations … RELATED: http://geographicalimaginations.com/2013/01/29/dirty-wars-and-the-everywhere-war/http://www.twitpic.com/cmq7st
#occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Austerity Is Dangerous http://ideas.time.com/2013/04/18/why-austerity-is-a-dangerous-idea/ Prof. Mark Blyth explains “Why Austerity Is a Dangerous Idea” in Time: “…for people to save, they need to have income from which to save. So if you are, for example, a state in the Eurozone today, and every similar state saves at the same time by cutting spending, the result is the shrinkage of everyone’s economy since they are each other’s trading partners and sources of income. Perversely, their debt goes up, not down, relative to their (shrinking) GDP, which is what has happened to every European country that has undergone an austerity program since 2010. They now have more debt, not less.”http://www.twitpic.com/ckalsf
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty OSHA Report: 72% Of Construction Fatalities In NYC in 2012 on NON-UNION Jobs! #1U Non-Union Kills! More: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/construction_destruction_0TBHXeEDd7w8ZRd2iwBbzH Please note, in looking for data on UNION/NONUNION percentages the first link I have found thus far is from Socialist Worker. According to Socialist Worker, Nonunion in NY has 40% of the market share as of Aug 2012. This number is extremely difficult to measure as a huge portion of non-union contractors do not keep proper books on their workers. My heart goes out to all the families affected. http://socialistworker.org/2012/08/21/constructing-concessionshttp://www.twitpic.com/cip754

Nutter has until April 4 to sign the bill or it will become law without his signature. If the law goes into effect, it would pave the way for 200,000 of the city's workers to have the opportunity to earn sick days at work. Nutter previously vetoed a similar bill. NutterWatch will keep track of stories related to the bill until Apri…http://www.twitpic.com/cgbrae

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

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Welcome To The Battleground (Texas) http://www.battlegroundtexas.com/ Exciting things are happening in the Lone Star State! The Texas Democratic Party is thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Battleground Texas, a new organization that launches today. As you might have read, some of President Obama's top former staffers are behind this new organization. Battleground Texas will focus on grassroots mobilization that will make Texas a state that counts in local, state and national elections. Tune in to the Colbert Report tonight to watch Jeremy Bird speak more about Battleground Texas. There’s still a lot of work to be done before Texas is an official battleground. And the TDP is eager to continue that work along with Battleground Texas and other partners throughout the state. Just last weekend, Gov. Perry called a Blue Texas a “pipedream” and blathered that, “the University of Texas will change its colors to maroon and white before Texas goes purple, much less Blue.” If ignorance is bliss, he must be ecstatic! Gov. “Oops” seriously underestimates those of us who believe in a better future for ALL the people of our great state! We know that Texas can do better. We know that we can adequately fund our schools! We know that we don’t need to have millions of uninsured Texans. We know that we’re better than this. And we know that things are going to change – because we’re the ones who’re going to make the change! Get ready Democrats, we have a lot of work before us – but we also have the numbers and the momentum on our side! Here's to a Blue Blue Texas Future!
