Stop Fast Track of the Trans-Pacific Partnership

“I’ve had enough of bad trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] that trade U.S. jobs to the lowest bidder and increase the power of multinational corporations and Wall Street over our democracy.

When white people riot

– When black people protest against police violence in Ferguson, Missouri, they’re thought of as a “mob.”

But when white people got up in arms at the Pumpkin Festival in Keene, New Hampshire, a few weeks ago — for apparently no reason whatsoever — they were merely accused of “disruptive behavior.”

The two situations — protests in Ferguson and drunken violence in Keene — are not equivalent. However, it’s revealing how the two groups are perceived differently by society and and the media. How is it that the bad behavior of some black people is used to condemn an entire community, while the bad behavior of some white kids is excused and explained away? Maybe this is why residents of Ferguson protested in the first place.

Walking on the sidewalk is also legal. How long must we wait for freedom?

Teen Girl Fatally Shot by Cops at Texas Police Station

A knife is certainly not nothing. But it’s also not a gun.
But why can’t three cops, in the middle of their own lobby,
subdue a knife-wielding teen girl without using lethal force.
Coignard was shot four times, and three police officers have
been placed on administrative leave.
