Read on Screaming Into the Void:————————————————————————————“And you say that, because we believe in women’s rights but think it’s morally dubious for a woman to abort a healthy pregnancy when she’s six months along, we’re not feminists? Then what, pray tell, are we?“ Apologists. There is no “tightrope” between a woman’s rights and a “fetus’ rights”. [...]

Dear MoveOn member,Electronic voting machines in Florida appear to have flat-out lost 18,000 votes for Congress—votes almost certain to change the outcome of a close House race in Sarasota.1 This election meltdown demonstrates the insanity of paperless voting machines. There’s no way to recount the votes short of holding a new election. Incoming House Speaker [...]

Yah, I don’t think there should be any poor people either. If you do, tell me why you think poverty should exist; why do you think there should be poor people? If you don’t, but support the continuation of the wealthy class, tell me why. and if you feel there should be no rich people, [...]

Should there be rich people? I don’t think so. I remember once way back on hipmama a mama felt I was saying there should be no poor people, like I was insinuating that poor people shouldn’t be allowed to exist. She misunderstood exactly what I meant. I do feel there should be no poor people. [...]

I found this by way of Kendon over at the Afro Punk boards. I knew they were a bunch of sick perverts but not….so many. and over such a span of years. Oh. My REPUBLICANS & PEDOPHILIA * Republican County Constable Larry Dale Floyd was arrested on suspicion of trying to rape an 8-year old [...]

by Laura Barcella Want proof that American racism is alive and well? Take it from Charles Hickman, an African-American Texas man who just won $1 million in a shocking race discrimination case. According to the Houston Chronicle, Hickman was the only black employee at Commerical Coating Services, the pipe company where he worked for seven [...]

Monday the governor of South Dakota signed into law a bill that would ban virtually all abortions in the state. Neither the governor nor any of the law’s supporters, however, have been honest about what the cost and effect of such a law will be. Those who authored this bill and those who voted for [...]

I love this site: Freeway Blogger.It got my kids all fired up a while back to do some protesting, we made a sign and everything. Unfortunately we got busted trying to put it up and they acted the fool; it was at a transit train stop because I didn’t want to take them on an [...]

NEW ORLEANIANS CALL FOR ACTION Displaced New Orleans Community Demands Action, Accountability and Initiates A People’s Hurricane Fund Not until the fifth day of the federal government’s inept and inadequate emergency response to the New Orleans’ disaster did George Bush even acknowledge it was ‘unacceptable.’ ‘Unacceptable’ doesn’t begin to describe the depth of the neglect, [...]

Here are some links a friend sent me to efforts by progressive people to mobilize support & rebuilding for survivors: The Sparkplug Foundation has a great list of funding and volunteering options with organizations that doing grassroots relief work that focuses on people of color and poor people, especially groups that are run by, or [...]

I am so sick at heart over how horribly the victims of the hurricane were treated. This truly has me stunned. It makes no sense, no sense at all! Victims of the tsunami last year had US aid within 2 days!! but American citizens had to wait 5 WHOLE DAYS for the feds to step [...]

Michael Moore that is. This is RIGHT ON. Friday, September 2nd, 2005 Dear Mr. Bush: Any idea where all our helicopters are? It’s Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help [...]

I saw this on another messageboard. So white folks apparently just happen to be “finding” all this food from grocery stores but black folks are the ones “looting.” Like those white people swam down the checkout aisle and paid for it like they would any other day…PLEASE! White = victim just trying to survive. Black [...]

I would like to take a moment of silence to reflect on the American soldiers who have died in the war. I wish for them all to rest in peace. Ohio had several casualties and it just breaks my heart to see news of their deaths. I don’t know why they joined or what they [...]

Kerry Lost. We are in for another 4 years under Bush. I am devastated. This is so wrong. I just want to pull the covers over my head or run away.

PLEASE do not vote for this man. He is so dumb. And if you need any proof of white privilege or racism this nit-wit we call a president is ample proof. Can you imagine a black president being so inarticulate?! I can just hear the ebonics comments flying and talk of how he or she [...]

It’s my belief that the Democrats are in secret cahoots with the Republicans…they are both evil parties intent on keeping Bush in the whitehouse to further USA world domination and evil. This is the only way I can explain Kerry, and look at how they, the democrats, left Dean all out there by himself. That [...]
