A good response to people who keep demanding that the OWS protestors draw up some sort of platform of demands. That rarely happens in the early stages of liberation movements. At the moment, it’s about raising the consciousness of everyday...

The due-process-free assassination of U.S. citizens is now reality
After several unsuccessful efforts to assassinate its own citizen, the U.S. succeeded today (and it was the U.S.).

pedestrian-palamite asked: I suggest that you not conflate "pro-life" with "abstinence-only." They are not the same idea, and not all "pro-lifers" advocate "abstinence-only." Also, I take exception to your use of the term "anti-choice" to describe those who think that abortion of the human fetus is an unacceptable use of free will. It's not fair to the many people...

Bloomberg has it all wrong.
The people who work at the bank make a fairly decent sum, but they are not the”bankers” and I’m totes positive they weren’t on the balcony in designer clothes drinking expensive alcohols in the middle of the damn day.

Anonymous asked: Didn't you know, your health is your own responsibility? Eat bad food and get sick? Sorry, your own fault. Shouldn't have gone to that restaurant or visited that supermarket, you! * wags finger *
Anonymous asked: I don't know if irony is the right word here, but I find it interesting that both Tea Partiers and the current Wall Street protesters are using the same "government should be afraid of the people" line, yet the two camps are diametrically opposed in ideology.

Occupy Wall Street growing rapidly →
questionall:
In addition to rapidly increasing support for the action in New York City, Occupy Wall Street confirmed over the phone that there will be at least 26 solidarity occupations in the U.S. by Oct. 6. Further, they said that up to 70 were possible by the end of October, and recommended visiting Occupy Together for more information.
It’s awesome.

The New York Times reports that the FBI is planning to revise its official definition of rape after more than 80 years of using an antiquated definition that drastically underestimates the number of sexual assaults every year. Currently, the FBI defines rape as “the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will” — which completely excludes male rape and discounts cases that involve...

The Onion's fake Congress hostage report

Even by The Onion’s standards, this was pushing at the boundaries.
The Onion tests satire limits with fake Congress hostage report - Matt Wells investigates.
I laughed, but only because I am imagining a reaction like the fake congress video that conservatives were freaking out about.
Which, by the way, PEOPLE STILL THINK IS REAL.
