" Romney and Tea Party loonies dismissed half the country as chattel and moochers who did not belong in their “traditional” America. But the more they insulted the president with birther cracks, the more they tried to force chastity belts on women, and the more they made Hispanics, blacks and gays feel like the help, the more these groups burned to prove that, knitted together, they could give the dead-enders of white male domination the boot.

(CNN) - George P. Bush, the nephew of former President George W. Bush and son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, this week filed paperwork required to run for office in the state of Texas.
The 36-year-old attorney hand-delivered the document Wednesday to the Texas Ethics Commission, the agency that oversees campaigns for state offices, including state senators, state legislators and statewide positions.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (re-post)
No, the revolution will not be televised - it will be blogged, tweeted, facebooked, IM'd and live video streamed. This is the Civil Rights movement 2.0, baby. Let freedom PING.
Let freedom PING from the streets of the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street. Let freedom PING from main street's struggle to make wall street accountable. Let freedom PING from the Supreme Court steps in the wake of Citizens United... Lift every voice and STREAM!
Let freedom PING in the effort to connect, inform, educate, organize, and document. And let the dissimination be softened by the spark of entertainment, dressed as diversion.
Let freedom PING.
Disturbing Quote (1 of 2) - by Rania Khalek · George Mason
...if about 40% of US prisoners are black and 20% hispanic, and prison labor is unpaid and being used more and more, then doesn't that amount to a disturbing growth of "slave" labor, with minorities doing the bulk of it? Don't mean to sound hyperbolic, but it's kind of like legalized slavery…
Disturbing Quote (2 of 2) - by Bella Djordjevski
This is most definitely slave labor. And many prisons are privately owned now, too. And some of these prison owners donate to judges' campaigns...which could result in heavier sentences being handed down. It's a tangled web that many people are not even aware about.
