Who’s ready for NATO??? Come stand with the people as we tell Rahm and The War Machine: “NOT IN OUR NAME!” & “MONEY FOR JOBS & EDUCATION, NOT FOR WAR & OCCUPATION!” Let’s show the world that we won’t let imperialism and capitalism continue to destroy our planet, our people, our present, and our future.

Latina Activist Calls Judge 'White Racist Pig,' Gets 10 Days In Rikers:

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:

Christina Gonzalez, an activist protesting the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk tactics, was held in contempt of court on Friday, and sentenced to ten days in jail, after she called Judge John H. Wilson a “white racist pig.” In 2006 Judge Wilson penned a children’s book called Hot House Flowers, which was an allegory for illegal immigration that depicted immigrants as dandelions that should be “weeded out.” A man videotaping the exchange was also handcuffed, and had the contents of his camera deleted by court employees.

Tell ‘em. You can erase the footage but not our knowledge.

Get it grrrl. A.J.A.B.

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”

Kate Doyle swearing-in during the trial against former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori.

By ARTURO CONDE

Surrounded by tall black filing cabinets and a large color map of Guatemala, Kate Doyle’s desk in her New York office looks more like the workspace of an academic or a clerk than an investigator. Even her job title, Senior Analyst of U.S. policy in Latin America, suggests that she would feel more at home beneath the high ceilings of the New York Public Library on 42nd Street in Manhattan. But in spite of Doyle’s calm, scholarly demeanor, she possesses the tenacity and fearlessness of a boxer who uses evidence found in government files to convict powerful, and sometimes dangerous, military and political leaders of human rights violations.

Hallmark not working for ya? The folks over at the Strong Families initiative put together some beautiful Mother’s Day ecards that celebrate all types of mothers and families.

From the site: “Mother’s Day was originally founded as an antiwar rallying cry. A day to celebrate mothers is much more than a day for flowers and pancakes. It’s a time to focus together on what we want and need so all families can thrive. Share the love!”

“untitled

the earth is so green today!

still asleep under a blanket of dew.
awaking ever so radiant and new
her lushness revealed as dawn to light gives way.
she seems to blush when to her a compliment I pay-
a rosebud here, a daisy there.
never has she seemed more fair.

under the invigorating touch of spring’s first shower, 
her trees have unleashed their leaves 
and uninhibited are her flowers-  
who after the torturous months of winter  
so yearned for this intimate hour. 

let your shy beauty be emboldened by these tender kisses.”
