#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Wall Street's absurd celebration of its absurdities http://www.jimhightower.com/node/8003#.UWuD_aL7JaY It was a gala evening of celebration, libations, commendations… and insidious corporate cynicism. Hosted in March by a financial trade publication, this annual black-tie awards dinner on Wall Street made news when the award for “Best Crisis Management” was handed out. Yes, an award actually exists for what amounts to PR deception, deflection, and dissembling by a corporation that has been caught making the year's biggest-honking boo-boo. For example, the 2012 prize was taken by General Electric for its razzle-dazzle ducking and dodging over the fact that its reactors were at the core (literally) of the Fukushima n…http://www.twitpic.com/cjgybl
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Increasing the Minimum Wage Would Boost the Housing Market: A Firsthand Account http://www.aflcio.org/Blog/In-The-States/Increasing-the-Minimum-Wage-Would-Boost-the-Housing-Market-A-Firsthand-Account This is a cross-post, by Doug Foote, from Working America's Main Street blog. This week, Minnesota state Rep. Jason Metsa (D) is taking the Working America Minimum Wage Challenge—living on the minimum wage of .25 an hour. He’ll report his experience back to the Minnesota legislature, where they are considering a bill to raise the minimum wage to .95. On Wednesday, Metsa’s challenge was to find a place to live. Why a challenge? His budget that he set out on Monday allowed for only 9 a month for housing…http://www.twitpic.com/cjgz3n
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Students and Polar Bears Play Tug-of-War with Wall Street Bankers http://www.aflcio.org/Blog/Political-Action-Legislation/Students-and-Polar-Bears-Play-Tug-of-War-with-Wall-Street-Bankers On one side of the rope, students, workers, a polar bear, a walrus and Robin Hood stood. On the other side, a series of fancily dressed Wall Street executives. The tug-of-war was over a proposed half penny tax on Wall Street transactions designed to raise billions of dollars to pay for education, climate change mitigation and the improvement of public infrastructure. That was the scene Thursday when working family activists who are part of the U.S. Robin Hood Tax Campaign rallied at Hotel Palomar in Washington, D.C., where finance and environmental ministers of select developed countries m…http://www.twitpic.com/cjh48v

Our risks include the corner store, abandoned properties, waste being dumped in our neighborhoods, and the corporate criminals polluting our air, water, and soil. Our intent is to bring people together not merely for presentation – we intend to have conversation. We want to know – how are you doing? What is helping you get through? On camera interviews will be held throughout the two day event. When: Sunday April 21, 2013 from 1:00 p…http://www.twitpic.com/cjh5it
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty TERMINATE CISPA NOW! http://www.occupy-detroit.us/2013/04/14/terminate-cispa-now/ The voting public of the United States has rallied countless times to protect freedom of information. 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.

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Occupy’s legacy: The media finally covers social protest fairly http://www.salon.com/2013/04/13/occupys_legacy_the_media_finally_covers_social_protest_fairly/singleton/ Occupy's message about income inequality took hold because the media, for once, took a grassroots protest seriously None of us was prepared for what happened next in Zuccotti Park. It was surprising enough that the police did not immediately evict the occupiers. We expected the most likely scenario was for hundreds of riot cops, backed up by horses and copters, to be unleashed against us that very night. This would certainly be in keeping with the style of the NYPD, whose usual strategy is to overwhelm protesters with sheer force of numbers. Yet in this case, someone made the decision to hold back.

Despite Barack Obama’s promise in 2009 – one of his first as President – to shut down “Gitmo,” the US evidently has no intention of doing so anytime soon. In fact, the only thing concerning Gitmo that the Obama administration has shut down is the office of the special envoy, Daniel Fried, who had been tasked with its closure. The US State Department reassigned Fried in late January, and he will not be replaced. CommentsView/Create comment on this paragraphHow better to memorialize that decision tha…
