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.

The latest is that a group of 20 or so people have been wrangling with Dane County Parks officials as they try to find a legal place to camp since leaving a privately owned site last week. When parks officials on Friday challenged the legality of their encampment at Lake Farm Park on the south side of Madison, some confused squabbling over campground rules followed.

The NLRB enforces rules established under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which protects the rights of workers to form unions, bargain collectively and have a voice on the job.

Still, property owner Koua Vang said he'd risk fines and keep allowing the campers on his property until April 16 when the county parks open. “I'm willing to go forward,” told the State Journal. “The fines were threatened at the beginning. That's nothing new.” Related: http://www.nicholasmirzoeff.com/O2012/category/wisconsin/http://www.twitpic.com/cg1xhx

Copernicus doesn’t come up in day-to-day conversations, but perhaps he should: He is considered the founder of modern astronomy and single-handedly changed the way we think about our place in the universe by positing that the Earth revolved around the sun, and not the other way around. He remains a patron saint to those who like to question the rules. And, let’s face it: The plots of sci-fi movies and TV shows such as ”Prometheus” and “Star Trek” are all the more f…http://www.twitpic.com/c57ooz

As a result, Crawford says, all of us are at the mercy of the biggest business monopoly since Standard Oil in the first Gilded Age a hundred years ago. “The rich are getting gouged, the poor are very often left out, and this…http://www.twitpic.com/c20n55

Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) stirred up controversy again when, in a speech addressed to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, she alluded to the Holocaust in her condemnation of private college presidents—for not standing up to the federal government when it passed new regulations on for-profit colleges. Inside Higher Ed reported Foxx said “They came for the for-profits, and I didn't speak up…,” adapting her prose to mimic German theologian Martin Niemöller's famous quote: “Nobody really spoke up like they should have” and “First they came for the …http://www.twitpic.com/c1r1xb

You can help. While activists today deliver tens of thousands of letters to their senators on Capitol Hill urging them to stop the misuse and abuse of the Senate filibuster, you can, too, by calling 1-866-937-5062 and telling Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) to publicly support strong rules reform by co-sponsoring Senate Resolution 4…http://www.twitpic.com/bw4kr0
