Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

A "Beyond Voting" rally and march in San Diego November 3, part of a nationwide mobilization in 36 cities planned before the election and designed to put pressure on whoever won and stress the need for activism rather than relying on the ballot box, drew nearly 150 people for a march from the waterfront to the NBC Channel 39 headquarters at Horton Plaza. Though the mobilizers were nonpartisan the mood at the event was considerably angrier than it would have been if Bush hadn't won.

North County Times c/o lotus,

The U.S. House of Representatives Friday approved an environmental waiver needed to override the California Coastal Commission's rejection of a security fence project along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Tactical Escalation
tactical,

At the RNC, I noticed two conflicting trends, one hopeful and one disturbing.

At two separate events, fire was used as a tactic at the RNC protests. In both instances, organizers claimed that the people who had set the fires were undercover police and provocateurs. There was one trend, initiated by an unknown source to escalate confrontations, there was another to decry such escalation.

iskra,

If you have a hard time swallowing this logic, if you think it is absolutely unconscionable, if the base capitalist immorality of this strikes you as criminal, makes your skin crawl, or causes you to scream at the top of your lungs-- GOOD!
