Hey Tea Party, STOP RAPING PEOPLE! Behave yourselves!

By Jymn, on March 18th, 2012

Tweet

A Tea Party spokesman and former regional director of the Southern California Conservative Party has been arrested for kidnapping and rape.

“Yo Tea Party, you freaks! You filthy freaks! You filthy, filthy, filthy raping, murdering freaks!” (Sorry, I just had to get my morning BREITBART on.)

What Rush hath wrought: 16-year-old harassed for being a “slut, a prostitute, a horny piece of trash that is out to sleep with every guy in school”

By Jymn, on March 5th, 2012

Tweet

The fallout from Rush Limbaugh’s attack on Sandra Fluke has more far-reaching consequences than the public humiliation Fluke received at the hands of the radio star and the subsequent withdrawal of advertisers from the blowhard’s show. Caught in the headlines suddenly are the young women of America who have become the new Easy A’s of . . . → Read More: What Rush hath wrought: 16-year-old harassed for being a “slut, a prostitute, a horny piece of trash that is out to sleep with every guy in school”

Oops. Turns out that was Oakland last night.

UPDATE: Dr. Dawg has the goods on an Oakland cop, annual salary $202K and unbelievably works for the Youth and Family Services agency, who apparently beat a pregnant woman leukemia sufferer off her bicycle and allegedly beat her as she was being carried away on a stretcher. Luckily, Anonymous (I’m . . . → Read More: Scene from Syria, Saturday January 28, 2012. Rodney Kirkland Sr. edition.

Media’s anti-Occupy stance revealed. More than half of Canadians support the movement.

By Jymn, on January 20th, 2012

Tweet By reading 90% of the Canadian media, you’d have thought the people who Occupied cities across Canada and the world were unemployable dirty fucking hippies intent on violence and rape.

Seems a majority of Canadians - and most of the world - still do not share the media’s jaundiced view of the mostly young people who pitched tents . . . → Read More: Media’s anti-Occupy stance revealed. More than half of Canadians support the movement.

Well, well, well! What do we have here? Occupy Best Buy? In a manner of speaking. All those campers are not there to for Occupy movement values though. No, they’re not protesting whatever poor business practices the big box store may practice. No, . . . → Read More: Tents? Pepper Spray? On Black Friday? Where’s the Public Outrage?

Cut the Crap Christy!

By Kim, on November 24th, 2011

Tweet Our unelected Premier of BC, Christy Clark, can’t figure out why the Occupy Movement insists on persisting in their efforts.  From ctvbc yesterday,

Government lawyers have already filed an injunction against Occupy Vancouver protesters, who moved Monday from city property onto provincial land – and Premier Christy Clark says demonstrators shouldn’t expect to . . . → Read More: Cut the Crap Christy!

Linda McQuaig gets it. Occupy signals a new era.

By Jymn, on November 23rd, 2011

Tweet

Occupy has been starved for meaningful commentary from the press corps. Most of what has been published varies from haven’t-got-a-clue to total bullshit. Most journalists need to be told what to write. Occupy has kept its beliefs and goals close to the vest. It hasn’t been easy without a roadmap for a clueless press.

Thankfully, . . . → Read More: Linda McQuaig gets it. Occupy signals a new era.

Occupy: Canadian media turns its back on the homeless, the marginalized, the disenfranchised

By Jymn, on November 21st, 2011

Tweet

While many of us progressives like to think that the Occupy movement has awakened Canadians to the 99%, the reality is different. Editorial boards across Canada have seen to the marginalization of Occupy by concentrating on its weakest and most vulnerable members.

By accommodating the homeless, the disenfranchised and the marginalized, Occupy has . . . → Read More: Occupy: Canadian media turns its back on the homeless, the marginalized, the disenfranchised

I Can See Lieutenant Pike Doing That

By ck, on November 20th, 2011

Tweet

Indeed I think that’s exactly how Georges Seurat would’ve visualized ol’ Lieutenant Pike.

As Jymn said, he is definitely UC Davis’ answer to Toronto’s Officer Bubbles.

Other fun images of ol’ Lieutenant Pike can be found here.

A Clever Creative Post Eviction Idea From Occupy Wall Street

By ck, on November 20th, 2011

Tweet

As occupy encampments are being cleared out by bruit force all across the US and eviction notices have been handed out in Canada (some  have been or are being challenged through the courts, many ask, “what’s next?”. Is there life after the tent cities?  Personally, I have reservations, which I may share at . . . → Read More: A Clever Creative Post Eviction Idea From Occupy Wall Street

UC Davis Chancellor Katehi’s perp walk

By Jymn, on November 20th, 2011

Tweet

Dawg and others have posted this but it’s powerful enough to post once again. This is indeed powerful; Dr. Katehi walking to her car, passing by OccupyUCDavis seated in absolute silence. This is an iconic video, representing the perp and the peaceful.

UPDATE: More from someone close to the scene:

“Police forced open their mouths and pepper-​sprayed down their throats”

By Jymn, on November 19th, 2011

Tweet

What has happened to our police forces, north and south of the border? Watch the video below and tell me if you see even an inkling of a threat from the seated Occupiers. The chief of this police force is either the leader of a band of cowards or she’s lying out her ass.

Matt Taibbi is beginning to get it about the Occupy movement

By Jymn, on November 11th, 2011

Tweet Most political/cultural/populist movements begin in back rooms, in clandestine meetings over a period of years. Many times the resultant movement looks little like the disorderly chaos of the initial gatherings. Unlike past uprisings, the Occupy movement is taking place in front of our eyes in cities all over the world for all to . . . → Read More: Matt Taibbi is beginning to get it about the Occupy movement

Second Iraq war hero wounded by police at Occypy Oakland. Right wing cheers.

By Jymn, on November 5th, 2011

Tweet

If anything in the last few decades has scared the right wing out of its comfort zone of pretend patriotism it is the  Occupy movement. Not the first black president, not the wars, not the uprisings in the Mideast, the failing economy, the loss of jobs, Michael Moore or George Soros. It is the Occupy . . . → Read More: Second Iraq war hero wounded by police at Occypy Oakland. Right wing cheers.

The real class warfare: law firm representing banks and mortgage servicers mock homeless at Halloween party

By Jymn, on October 29th, 2011

Tweet

This is beyond sick. It may have been a 2010 party but one has to wonder what these folks are doing this year. So bank industry, so privileged, so American.

The media and economists wonder why Occupy is happening. It’s right in front your faces, assholes.

You knew this was coming. Bomb thrown into Occupy encampment.

By Jymn, on October 24th, 2011

Tweet

The right-wing media has been all abuzz from the beginning of the Occupy movement, provoking and reporting on any little incident to prove their case against the occupation. Despite the media’s initial indifference and gathering antagonism against Occupy, the real danger to those in the movement is the increasing agitation from outside.
