Oaxaca Vive! will be a night of art to support the resistance in Oaxaca

Oaxaca by either making art about Oaxaca or donating some artwork that
you've already made. A number of people from San Diego are travelling to

Okupa! Video about squats in Southern Europe
dj lotu5 and the platform,
This is an early, rough cut of this film. I'm not sure what direction I want to go with this and am looking for feedback.
Okupa investigates Deleuze's figure of the urban nomad, engaging in war with the state through the creation of smooth spaces. The video shows the activities and struggles of 4 occupied social centers or squats: Dezguace, Seco and Labo 03 all in Madrid and Casa de Iniciativas 1.5 in Málaga. The film shows the hacklabs, theater productions and workshops that are the daily activity of the social centers as well as the struggles against eviction.
The video is a rough cut, and as such has small editing glitches. Also, it is partially subtitled, but not contiguously subtited, so if you don't speak spanish and the subtitles stop, skip ahead to the next section of the film.
(can anyone help me translate this email into español?)

Roots of Resistance Camp
repost from Project Steev/detritus on flickr/lotu5,
From Project Steev:"This past weekend I and 4 other Tucson activists drove to San Diego for the Roots of Resistance Summer Camp. The Organic Collective had organized it to get people, mostly border activists, to come and share skills and talk about plans. It was a really great time and really inspiring... I took a few photos, not only of the camp but our brief visit to the border wall on the beach - where there are gaps in the wall right now big enough that people can easily squeeze through, and do. Mexicans were casually slipping over and wandering the sand, but a border patrol truck on the hill was making sure no one went too far. We played soccer and talked with some of the Tijuanans for awhile. It was really cool. The whole weekend was just really really awesome.
From lotu5:"I spent this past weekend at the o.r.g.a.n.i.c. collective's Roots of Resistance Camp, rootcamp. It was an amazing experience, with people there from Arizona, Los Angeles, Orange County and lots of new and old faces from San Diego."

March and Rally to Save Worker Pensions
kilo,
Calling all members of the SD activist community!
UCSD workers are rallying to save their pensions. The UC administrators and regents are forcing workers to pay contributions for their pensions while giving themselves raises and extravagant bonuses. Their budget priorities do not reflect the values of economic justice that we wish to see for all members of the UC and San Diego community.

Math Professor: Why "HIV/AIDS" Doesn't Add Up
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger’s Newsmagazine,
Rebecca Culshaw, Ph.D., a mathematics professor at the University of Texas in Tyler, won her Ph.D. by modeling the replication of HIV inside the human body — but her researches eventually led her to the conclusion that HIV, the so-called "AIDS virus," cannot possibly be the cause of the syndrome. In this interview, reprinted from the July 2006 Zenger's Newsmagazine, she explains how fundamentally illogical the HIV/AIDS hypothesis really is and how biologists in particular have broken the rules of science to maintain their false belief that HIV causes AIDS.

Tijuana - 5:07 PM PST - The SD Union Tribune is reporting that "about 20 U.S. immigration officers briefly faced off with 1,000 protesters standing just inside Mexican territory as the protesters tried to blockade northbound traffic around 11:20 a.m...

The militant labor movement in Chicago was largely due to the influence of radical immigrant workers from central Europe, who were the most exploited of the working class. May First is celebrated worldwide with the exception of a handfull of countries including the United States.
As millions March in the US and Mexico, there are also events planned all over Europe for EuroMayDay, more info at EuroMayDay.org.
