The Time is Right for Fighting in the Streets
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Tue, 04/11/2017 - 1:22amFile this in the WTF department. An already overcrowded pigeon hole earns another entry. Before posting this, what the heck are we doing with labeling frenzy? Identity politics to the max. Alt-Right, Anti-Fa, centrist, neoLiberal, NeoConservative, Progressive, Regressive, Depressive. Where does it end? Are we c99ers Alt-Left, marginalized Free-thinkers, burned-out Berners? Can't tell the players without the labels.

Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 04/10/2017 - 1:04pmUntil recently the talk in France's presidential election was all about either Le Pen's bigotry or Fillon's corruption, and the only alternative was the quasi-neoliberal centrist Macron.
But now someone else has surged into contention - Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
You Tube Censorship of Progressive & Independent Media, Plus Why I have a New You Tube Channel
Submitted by Steven D on Mon, 04/10/2017 - 12:44pmUnlike many progressive sites on You Tube, I didn't lose any ad revenue from my videos posted there in this recent censorship effort by TPTB, because I never allowed You Tube ads to run on my YouTube channel. But I did have to create a new one called Steven D Speaks.
Tulsi strikes again
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Mon, 04/10/2017 - 7:38amBernie, still gotta love him, started a movement going, even though he has chickened out in pursuing it, which has encouraged rising stars such as Tulsi Gabbard, Nina Turner, Tim Canova and revitalized people like Alan Grayson and Jeff Merkley. My favorite, bar none, the real deal, the real straight shooter, the one with guts, is Tulsi Gabbard.
The Empire Strikes Back… and it's a foul ball!

While the Syrian government surrendered their chemical weapon stockpiles for destruction in 2014, evidence indicates that rebel groups in Syria have ramped up their own supplies of the deadly weapons and have not hesitated to deploy them in combat. In November 2016, the New York Times acknowledged that ISIS, alone, had used chemical arms at least 52 times in Syria and Iraq.
