Border Patrol on a Rampage
It seemes as though the migra is also going through budget cuts and in an attempt to "rationalize" and "justify" their budget, they have taken it upon themselves to go balls out on raids and the patrolling of brown folks. Through the grapevine, I received an email that was directly issued from the Border Patrol to the SDTC (transit system) and was circulated internally amongst the transit system employees.

San Diegans Take to the Street to Say No to War!
Stories from the street: Critical Mass | This is What Democracy Looks Like | Survivors speak Thousands of San Diego's concerned citizens took to the streets to exercise their rights to object to the Bush regime's objectives in Iraq and the world. Remembering the one year anniversity of the carnage in the middle-east which has claimed almost 600 american dead, over 3500 wounded, and probably 10,000 Iraqi dead, whom have been "sanitized" with the discription of "collateral damage". The failure of the american media to cover this human misery in any depth is only part of the travesty. The manipulation and complicity of the media under the guise of patriotism has keep the real story from the american voting public. So the people took to the streets today, while keeping in mind that the so called "Patriot Act" has among its aims the elimination of just this type of dissent. Starting at the Federal Courthouse in downtown San Diego, the first small group was joined en route by several other groups, until a crowd of about 3,000 entered Balboa park to hear testimony from mothers of deceased Iraqi war veterans, peace activists, and ordinary citizens opposed to the current U.S. policy of world domination by force for U.S. corporate profit.
