First woman on FBI most wanted list

Sat, 04 May 2013 06:28:51 -0400

Given the political and economic climate of the day, is there not someone more of a threat to national security than a member of the Black Liberation Army whose trial is circumspect to say the least. Why now?

A simple wish

My wish for today - marriage and gender equality for all genders. And cheap easy access to the morning after pill.

We should have basic entitlements - part one.

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 06:56:48 -0400

We should have basic entitlements - part one.:

Two stories, in the Washington Post this morning, illustrate why the word entitlement should not have a negative connotation. Homeless teens are not entitled to a bed in a shelter? Since when is living in a shelter a luxury? What really sickens me, DC has a surplus of money and the local government keeps talking about helping the homeless while cutting aid. Not providing a child a bed should be criminal. I do not care how Libertarian, Fiscal-conservative, Liberal or whatever someone labels themselves as, this can not be an issue you can seriously debate. A bed is an entitlement we are all entitled to have. These children deserve a safe and warm place to sleep. The second story concerns the Fort Peck Indian reservation in Montana. I could write a manifesto about the disparaging treatment of Native Americans in this country. But, come one, cutting funding for schools in a place where schools provide all of the basic services a community has access to? This school system is in dire need of more funding, not less. School counsellors, summer programs, free and quality food are things we are all entitled to have.

50 Years After Key Case, Problems Defending The Poor Persist:

I did not need this article to explain to me that our judiciary system is unfair. With this said, even I was shocked to read that one public defender had a caseload of 300 people. I do not even know 300 people.

Music people, stop scrolling a moment. This art is by Pushead. Brian Schroder, Pushead, is most widely known for his album cover art, art for thrasher magazine, art for t-shirts.

but (or and)

Pushead put together a killer “unofficial” top 100 albums of the 80s.

A tumblr I deeply respect lovingly and very carefully curated the full collection of MP3s and made sure they were tagged properly.

What Then?

The torrent server hosting this awesome collection is disappeared. We’re not felonious monks. So, I am very pleased to offer tumblr access to the best streaming hardcore, crossover, and punk:

(there would be no password but the mobile clients that will stream your crust on your roadtrips require it)

But, what then?
Browse. To play, you must make a playlist. You may add songs or entire albums to playlists. Look for the + button; it’s small but you’ve found more challenging details.

When your playlist is ready, look for the play button. It looks like a play button and appears above the playlist.

A couple of requests

Please signal boost, we’re looking for lot’s of traffic and smiling, crusty, nostalgic networked people.

Ask for help if it’s not working out.

Ask if you want to stream on iOS or android.

Ask if you want yo set up your own streaming media server.

How’s it done?

“One of the standoffs that ultimately meant that the Violence Against Women Act disappeared after eighteen years of implementation was over Native American tribal rights. Cantor explicitly refused to back a bill that included expanded jurisdiction for Native American tribes in the prosecution of rape cases. One in three Native American women have been raped or experienced an attempted rape and in 86 percent of rape cases, the perpetrator was someone non-Native. Legislation that would have worked to allow tribal governments to exercise greater authority in prosecuting non-Native American alleged rapists was deemed unacceptable by Rep. Cantor.”

"If a young woman in middle school or high school hangs up a poster of Barack Obama in her room, this..."

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 10:00:26 -0500

“

If a young woman in middle school or high school hangs up a poster of Barack Obama in her room, this is seen as acceptable. It’s fine for women to admire men and want to be like them.

If a young man (the same age) hangs up a poster of Hillary Clinton in his room, this is seen as odd (maybe even troubling, is he gay? Oh no!).

Society tells us young men can’t think of women as role models, unless they’re a family member, whereas young women can admire and seek to emulate anyone, regardless of gender.

If you’re a young man, and if you have a poster on your wall with a woman, she had better be half-naked in a bikini, even if the Ronald Reagan or Gen. Patton poster next to it obviously features the man fully-clothed.

Young men are not to taught to think of women as role models. They are taught to think of them as either family members or sexual objects. There is no other category presented.

“Tragically we are witnessing a resurgence of harmful misogynist assumptions that mothers cannot raise healthy sons, that boys ‘benefit’ from patriarchal militaristic notions of masculinity which emphasize discipline and obedience to authority. Boys need healthy self esteem. They need love. And a wise and loving feminist politics can provide the only foundation to save the lives of male children. Patriarchy will not heal them. If that were so they would all be well.”
