Suzanne & the Black Panthers. ~ Sherri Rosen

by on Feb 8, 2012

I came to the Party with that background. I taught people how to read, fill out forms (welfare, social security). I would help them write letters to their sons in Vietnam, and be able to read information concerning them. Then we started the breakfast program. It was Huey's idea that we needed to do more things in the community.

Stephen Colbert: America’s Satirist. ~ Jeff Fulmer

by on Feb 6, 2012

As we were laughing at “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow (ABTT),” we were actually learning how a complicated legal entity works, as well as the inherent dangers in allowing anonymous donors to funnel unlimited amounts of money into campaigns.

Newt Gingrich  For President 2012

Be Grateful for Newt Gingrich? ~ Monique Ruffin

by on Feb 1, 2012

The question is, "Are we ready to look within ourselves for our inner Gingrich? Do we have the courage to acknowledge our own ideas of elitism and our desire to exclude those we see as different or less-than? Have we ever lied to or cheated on those closest to us for personal gain?"

Lion Kill by bettyx1138

I Know How God Feels.

by on Jan 27, 2012

I find the rhino more noble than Jerry. There is a perfection in the beast, which the killer hiding behind his gun (and the backup guns all around him) lacks. I believe paying hunters are cowards and thieves. They hide under the strong arms of the professional hunter. They are stealing a false sense of virility, which they wear like the cheapest cologne on the planet. They don the fool's grin, but not in a good way.

A Record Year for Animal Rights. ~ Ame Wren

by on Jan 24, 2012

As a long-standing vegetarian and animal rights supporter, this news warmed my heart.

Marines P*ssing on Dead Bodies: The Art of Detachment. ~ Rachael S. Arabian

by on Jan 24, 2012

It’s difficult to understand why incidents such as Abu Ghraib or Marines urinating on dead bodies occur in an organization such as the military.

Money & Divinity. ~ Valerie Vendrame

by on Jan 20, 2012

It is one of the sad ironies of modern life that people often seem to be paid in inverse proportion to their value to society.

The Choice. ~ Chad Woodland

To deny yourself of who you are is a lie to yourself and it's one that you never really believe.

by on Nov 29, 2011

And after the resignation of one of Lake Forest’s middle school principal’s last week, the affluent suburb can now add: home to another middle-aged creepy guy who sends sexually inappropriate, nonconsensual text messages to a young woman, while knowing school administrators will cover it up.

Cow Kung Fu.

by on Nov 23, 2011

Scrambling for a new way to live. Carving trees with tattoos and sewing peacock feathers onto our clothes… spiritual soldiers renaming the birds and peering deep into the ocean to see where all the fish have gone. Plastic floats upon the ocean water... it does not sink, so there is still a chance for us to see it... collect and gather what we have forsaken and lost.

Buddhism, the Tea Party, & Occupy Wall Street ~ Andrew Furst

by on Nov 22, 2011

What is the problem? The Tea Party points to government. OWS points to Wall Street (and government collusion).

Robert Sturman—Intoxicated With Beauty: Portrait of an Artist’s Soul.

by on Nov 3, 2011

Philosophers and sages throughout the ages have counseled us that beauty and truth lie in what is eternal and that true happiness is to be found in loving that which is permanent and transcends the particular. And it’s this gesture beyond the particular towards that which is timeless that elevates Sturman’s photography to the status of great art.

The Awkward Protester.

by on Nov 1, 2011

The Occupy movement came to Dublin at the weekend and I've come down to take part but so far I'm having trouble getting into the swing of things. I don't really know what I thought it would be like, more civil rights chic and less Glastonbury campsite, I suppose.

Occupy your heart?

by on Oct 24, 2011

When I look into my own heart, there is anger on the surface - that people are loosing their jobs, and homes, and that we are part of a system which sends wealth to a small few. When I look deeper there is sadness, for all those people affected by this financial crisis. And sadness for those perpetuating the crisis, stuck in a cycle of greed. I am sure they are not truly happy, even with all the filthy lucre in the world.

Setting Sun with Sunflower

A New Era for Activism.

by on Oct 22, 2011

I want to consider some useful habits for organizing in the non-profit world in this new era, and offer a few guidelines for using social media that make it more meaningful, more connected and most of all--more valuable. I call these the Three A's: Acceptance, Agreement and Action.
