It opened May 9 in Chicago. The workers in this story are members of the same workforce who, when they received word that their plant was about to be closed with no notice at what was then the Republic Windows and Doors factory in 2008, occupied their plant and became a cause celebre in a grim winter of mass layoffs. When they were laid off again in early 2012, by a second owner, they…http://www.twitpic.com/cqf5vx

It's one thing to read about history in the history books but it's totally different to hear history directly from a History Maker. #blackpanthers #blackpantherparty #bobbyseale The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was founded in October of 1966, in Oakland California. The Party advocated Self-Defense of the Black Community against the racist murder and brutality of the Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond and San Francisco Police through armed patrols of police activities. The purpose of the armed patrols was to capture the imagination of the people for broader community electoral purposes as Huey and I observe the police making arrest of black people. The Party also fought to establish greater peoples' empowerment via community control politics, through mass organizing of more than twenty different community based survival programs.

The co-ordinated protests were designed to press Congress to act as senators negotiate an immigration reform bill. In Washington DC cheering crowds gathered outside the Capitol, and more than 1,000 demonstrated in Atlanta. Lawmakers are expected soon to unveil a bill that would grant a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants.

Speaking on an RTHK radio programme, legal scholar Benny Tai expressed the hope that Beijing would allow universal suffrage in the city's 2017 chief executive poll, and that the method of election would comply with international standards. Occupy Central's controversial plan was officially launched at a news conference yesterday. Organisers say they're confident of persuading 10,000 people to join the act of civil disobedience…http://www.twitpic.com/cf69pi

Bush launched the invasion of Iraq that would lead to a nine-year war resulting in 4,486 dead American troops, 32,226 service members wounded, and over 100,000 dead Iraqi civilians. The tab for the war topped trillion. Bush did succeed in removing Saddam Hussein, but it turned out there were no weapons of mass destruction and no significant operational ties between Saddam's regime and Al Qaeda. That is, the two main assertions used by Bush and his crew to justify the war were not true. Three years after the war began, Michael Isikoff, then an investigativ…http://www.twitpic.com/c4yqve
