Politicians be damned. When a natural disaster occurs we can no longer be right or left, Democrat or Republican, progressive or conservative. We must meet the challenge and provide assistance as necessary. We are all Americans first. We must provide our brothers and sisters whatever they need.

Psuedo-science strikes again. Fluoride has been added to our water supply for over half a century with no adverse heath affects linked. In the 50s, it was considered a communist plot by the right wing extremists.

Ericka Huggins began her political work after witnessing the March on Washington in 1963. After meeting her husband, John Huggins, and moving to California, they both became important leaders to the Southern California chapter. While working she began to push for women's issue in the struggle as well. After John Huggins was murdered on the UCLA campus by members of a rival organizations she went to New Haven, CT to bury his body. There she decided to open up a BPP chapter.

Perhaps he needs a "binder full of Latinos" to help him out. "After suggesting that he was unaware of any Latinos serving in his administration, Corbett told the attendees at The Union League of Pennsylvania, "If you can find us one, please let me know."

Pennsylvania's Latino population grew by more than 80 percent to a total of 720,000 in the decade between 2000 and 2010, according to the U.S. Census. At least 77 percent of Hispanics residing in Pennsylvania are American citizens by birth, and more are citizens by naturalization."

From Mark Lynas, a former anti-GMO activist: "The GM debate is over. It is finished. We no longer need to discuss whether or not it is safe—over a decade and a half with three trillion GM meals eaten there has never been a single substantiated case of harm. You are more likely to get hit by an asteroid than to get hurt by GM food."

Alex Jones pushes tornado truther theory

Conspiracy talk show host Alex Jones, increasingly a favorite of conservative media for his extremely vocal support of gun rights, outed himself Tuesday as a tornado truther by telling a caller on his show, “Of course there’s weather weapons stuff going on.”

I don't recommend it for everyone but if you want to try all or most of the Linux desktops on one system, this is it. The torrent was not available when I downloaded and the mirror kept going offline, so maybe with the torrent it isn't so bad.

Elbert "Big Man" Howard is one of the original founding members of the Black Panther Party. Big Man was a Black Panther from 1966 to 1974. During that time he served as Deputy Minister of Information and was a member of the Central Committee and the International Solidarity Committee.

As the Black Panther Party grew in numbers, their programs grew in depth. Howard himself was responsible for a free medical clinic for sickle-cell anemia and a work-study program for parolees at the college. The Black Panther Party also created a free-breakfast program, piqued by poor children's inability to succeed in school due to malnourishment. This latter operation has actually been the unstated model for generations of government-run breakfast programs.
 
In efforts to appeal to the community and voice their cause, the Black Panthers decided to found a weekly newspaper—and looked foran... more »

The Black Panther Party was on FBI’s COINTELPRO list. When they really started to focus on us was right after Nixon got elected. He gets elected in November 1968. One of the first people Nixon meets with – before the inauguration, before January 1969 – is J. Edgar Hoover. Now, right in the middle of December 1968, Hoover is on television saying that the Black Panthers are a threat to the internal security of America. Four months later, he is back on television saying that the Free Breakfast for Children Program is a threat to the internal security of America.

In our film,“SEIZE THE TIME: The Eighth Defendant,” (a feature film focusing on life experiences as the founding Chairman and national organizer of the Black Panther Party and in turn the true history of the Black Panther Party.)  we are showing real documents subpoenaed by a Senate committee that our research assistants havegotten a h... more »

The stream used to be fun, interesting and informative. Now it is work. You can no longer follow comments on a post in your stream. You have to open the post in a separate window to read all the comments. +Google+ Help did you really pay attention to what you were doing. So many things require extra effort that used to just work.

If you were sent to prison based on a law that has been found to be unconstitutional.... would it not make sense that your sentence would be commuted?

This hesitation on commuting the sentence lengths are just as racist as trying to block the repeal of a racist law.

STOP ASHLEY NICOLE RICHARDS FROM TORTURING AND BRUTALLY MURDERING ANYMORE INNOCENT ANIMALS

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/863/365/434/

A federal judge has dismissed charges against a Houston couple who sold videos of them torturing animals -- including beating a dog with a meat cleaver and stepping on a cat's eye with a shoe heel -- on free speech grounds.

Ashley Nicole Richards and Brent Justice still face charges of producing, selling, or transferring obscene matters for sale or distribution. The two had originally been charged in Harris County District Court, but those charges were dismissed in December when the two were indicted on federal charges.

U.S. District Judge Sim Lake wrote in his order that, while "the acts depicted in animal crush videos are disturbing and horrid," it is still considered protected... more »
