Freedom Isn’t Free
Welcome to your new America. Freedom is in such danger that we have special zones to hold it in, and when necessary, can use special techniques (“catch and release”) for their own good. Sometimes, heads get cracked. But hey, freedom … Continue reading
Actual, Real, Not-Imaginary Fascism
Hey, tea party? I found that fascism you were looking for. It’s in Oakland:
Occupation-Gassing (NSFW)
I’m trying to remember the time that tea parties got hit with tear gas and rubber bullets OH WAIT THAT DIDN’T FUCKING HAPPEN. Rubber bullets leave distinct bruises. Police tried to break up occupation protests in Oakland, California and Atlanta, … Continue reading
Lone Marine Versus NYPD, Flawless #OWS Victory
This is why it’s so important to have veterans take part in a movement. Via p0pkult.
Non-Toxic Branding
Ezra Klein on the incredible shrinking tea party: Its leverage has always come from its ability to influence internal Republican Party politics, mostly through a ruthless strategy of primarying insufficiently obedient politicians. But the closer the Republican Party gets to … Continue reading

Boo, Roseanne. This is a nonviolent uprising. We aren’t rolling out the tumbrils because that is the road to defeat, and we aim to win. Expect us.
Corporate Fascism
When the New York Times hurriedly changes factual coverage into propaganda, and JP Morgan Chase can buy the NYPD for a few million, we are in trouble:
So You Want To Occupy Wall Street
My dismay at the continued incoherence of the crowd on Wall Street has some folks saying my ‘negativity’ hurts the movement, that I should recognize democracy is messy, etc. They are wrong — not that negativity hurts, but that I … Continue reading
Morning Awful: Pointless Pepper Spray
I am really not clear why this police officer thought he needed to empty his canister on people already penned inside a net and apparently not resisting. What was the point, except maybe to relieve his own frustration?
