Clouds of tear gas billow all around. A line of riot police waits in Taksim Square, just outside the park’s walls.The young people mill around, increasingly roused by adrenaline, and try to organize themselves. A girl hands out lemons — apparently they help with the effects of the gas.

Even family events became uncomfortable because, as Heyden …http://www.twitpic.com/cwr1v2

The 12-4 Republican controlled committee steamrolled over Wisconsin’s middle class and rewarded their campaign contributors by passing almost all of Gov. Walker’s harmful budget proposals.
