    9 April 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    27 comments

    An openly gay candidate of Partito della Rifondazione Comunista wins in southern Italy, in regional elections that resulted in 11 victories for the center-left coalition, which now controls 16 of Italy’s 20 regions.
    Nichi Vendola’s victory decisively refutes the American dogma that militants on the left, choosing radicals, can’t attract votes at the center and lose to the right — the dogma that the Democrats in America and the center-left in Italy promulgate, even though it has been often (…)

    The defence contractor Boeing has won the right in NSW to discriminate against employees whose nationalities do not meet US security requirements.
    A three-year exemption from the anti-discrimination act allows Boeing to exclude employees at its Bankstown plant from working on projects using US technology.
    Only Australians and other nationalities approved by the US will be issued tags granting them security clearance.
    The State Government quietly granted the exemption (…)

    Two amendments against gays. Not one, but two amendments to the Texas constitution are being considered. I’m impressed! You guys must have some legislators really scared!
    HJR 6 would ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples. HJR 19 would not only ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples, but would also prohibit civil unions and domestic partnerships. It has the potential of nullifying legal contracts, such as a will or a power of attorney. These two idiot amendments (…)

  • AMERICA’S MOST POWERFUL WEAPON
    9 March 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Forget nukes. Forget laser-guided missiles. Forget cluster bombs. The most powerful weapon in the U.S. arsenal is xenophobia. This ugly trait is possessed by the majority of U.S. citizens and is widely practiced.
    You may ask how a thought process could be more devastating than the hardware the U.S. has used in killing foreigners in genocidal proportions. Xenophobia allows the U.S. government to venture into foreign realms for the purpose of annihilating the people without question by the (…)

  • Activist Angela Davis Urges Examination of "New Racisms" at Vanderbilt Lecture

    Racism is not static. The racism we encountered in the civil rights era is not the same racism we encounter today. Now most people recognize it is not acceptable to explicitly support white supremacy, that is not to say they do not support it implicitly. The point I want to make is that just because the law no longer provides for the overt expression of racism does not mean that racism is not a major factor in our contemporary lives.
    I remember in the 60’s I was (…)

  • Remembering Malcolm X in the Place Where He Fell

    By COREY KILGANNON
    Ilyasah Shabazz, 42, the third-eldest daughter of Malcolm X, stared across the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights at the spot where her father was assassinated in front of her 40 years ago today.
    She looked at the area that had held a stage where his body lay riddled with bullets and pointed to the spot where she, almost 3 years old, was sitting in a banquette with two of her sisters and her mother, Betty Shabazz, pregnant with twins.
    Feb. 21, 1965, was a Sunday, (…)

  • United States government, 2005: If it walks like a goose... (Part I)

    Previous readers know I can be a little, well, uh...rough on the Bushies, for lack of a better term (like, say, “unapologetically brutal”). That’s OK; I’ve never had a problem calling a spade a spade, or, for that matter, a scoundrel a scoundrel. Typically, though, as a matter of personal preference, I’ve pretty much tried to stay away from using vulgar or shocking language. Since November 2, however, some may have noticed I’ve not shied away from rolling out the f-word.
    It is a strong (…)
