Nor will the police state be televised. h/t Gil Scott-Heron

25 years of bombing the Middle East & still no coherent policy other than: More of the same

Killed one week before the Armistice. "How do you ask a wo/man to be the last wo/man to die for a mistake?"

Good night & good luck.

Someone's been worshipping gods of metal

Deep down, he's got a heart of gold

Muscle-powered transportation

Is the #NFL too big to fail & too big to jail?

The Little Prince: Don't renounce all your dreams just because one failed to materialize.

In Adam Smith's world, the gangster banks would be failed enterprises, not too-big-to-fail on steroids

Avert your eyes & shop til you drop...it's holiday shopping season in USAmerica

Humpty Dumpty: If you say it twice it must be true.

False binary?

Ferguson: Sustained acts of civil resistance

Leadership in Ferguson, such as @HandsUpUnited_ calls for sustained acts of civil resistance

Now: Get out there & do something

The fundamental danger of a non-indictment is not more riots, it is more Darren Wilsons. RT @jsmooth995

Plutocracy 101

Know your rights: It's perfectly legal to film cops at work in all 50 states

Tell me about the "well-regulated" part again

Wide-body air travelers, suffocating from stifling regulation

Don't Waste Your Time 101

Til debt do us part

#Ferguson rising

Institutionalized white racism is USAmerica's original sin

You complete me

Meh: Lone white who saves the entire universe without addressing the inequities that created that universe

History is about giving voice to subversive memories

Is there anything you're not thankful for?

Kitchen conversions for a Happy Indigenous Peoples Day

Syrians are wondering: Do you think some day the world will intervene against the government of the USA?

Restoring the minimum wage to 1968 levels would help tens of millions of workers & stimulate the economy

USA already has enough colonies *smh

#NoTPP

Have a mindful Thanksgiving!

Gimme it down to there, long beautiful hair

Corporate Dems & their conflicts of interest

Corporate media are skilled at trying, judging & sentencing the victim

Here's how to frame the issue: Restore the minimum wage to '68 levels. Not a raise but a recovery

Greetings from the garrison

Not a partnership. Nothing to do with trade. Disaster for the environment. Corporate giveaway

Candidate Obama promised reform of NAFTA, now he's doubling down & pushing NAFTA on steroids

What the future would have looked like...if it had gotten here earlier

We see things not as they are but as *we* are
