Of the estimated 130 some wars, mini wars and warlets we've got going on, some wars matter more than others.
Murder in Houston
Submitted by Robyn on Mon, 04/11/2016 - 2:38pm
Late Sunday in Houston midtown, a few blocks from bars and restaurants, Shante Thompson and Willie Sims were shot to death. Police say they may have been beaten with a crowbar before the shooting transpired.
Witnesses say a group of up eight people armed with several weapons swarmed a transgender woman and a man out in the street.
It really hurts me. I have always looked for Shante. I was always been there for her. When I got the call and saw her laying on the ground it really hurt my heart.
--Kevin Braxton, friend of Ms. Thompson

Wilshire's Magazine: Editorial Calls for General Strike
Libya - I am so pissed off.

First, there was no reason to invade yet another PNAC, neocon target. Khadafi's rule was, if anything, more benign than how it was portrayed to us poor saps on our side of the pond. He was not invading his neighbors, he posed no threat to us or to our allies, and he had some pretty diverse groups under control.
And then, the evil cabal of Sidney blumenthal and Hillary Clinton took over.
And Obama blew it big time because of them.
The consequences of mispolling
Submitted by new minas on Sun, 04/10/2016 - 10:02pmI think it is so interesting how the Clintonistas/DNC/Thridway(neocon-neolibs) like to quote the reuters online poll and only cite the "likely primary voters" category in their graphics.

Anti-Capitalist Meetup: Gender/Race/Class/Age in the Democratic Primaries - Oh My! by Geminijen
Submitted by ny brit expat on Sun, 04/10/2016 - 4:54pmWhen Bernie first decided to run for President as a democratic socialist, challenging the extreme income inequality that advanced capitalism has brought to our society, I was excited. His message was echoing the Occupy Wall Street movement’s slogan that 1% of the wealthy owned more than the other 99%. Bernie was going to bring the concept of class struggle between working people and the corporate elite back into the political conversation!
Ukraine's Prime Minister resigns; Ukraine's Revolution fails
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 04/10/2016 - 3:25pmThe Ukraine's Euromaidan Revolution has failed.
That's a bold statement for me to make, so to back up the statement I need to go back to the primary reason for the Euromaidan Revolution.
