"While we stand here – watching tens of thousands of NYPD officers march in a parade with an explicit message of hate – African-American communities and other New Yorkers are gathering in Times Square to hold the NYPD to account for the murder of Sean Bell. Like us, they are standing up to fight the NYPD’s willful discrimination, its indifference to communities, its strong-arming of our streets, and its failure to take responsibility for creating a culture of violence." read full story / add a comment

We are all always told that the Health Service is rotten, broken, and flawed. This is not because this is true but because the FG/Labour run media conspire to keep the truth silent. Anyone who says that the health service is anything but a mess is critisiced and ridiculed. But this link shows the real truth, the truth of a health service on the mend, and being reformed...

The Sweet Dreams Educational project is based in Mopti, a small town in the West African State of Mali. If you want to find Mali on the map, look directly below Algeria. It’s that enormous, largely blank, chunk of desert between Mauritania and Niger, two other enormous, largely blank, chunks of desert.

To find Mopti, follow the river Niger down from Timbuctu. You’ll find Timbuctu on the Southern edge of the Sahara desert near a large bend in the river. Follow the River downstream, you have to look hard but eventually will come to Mopti.

It's hard to know where to start with this.

Is it that they have reduced the whole notion of Irishness to a running shoe with a leprachaun on it?

Is it the weird notion of having the colours of the Republican tricolour on an ugly pair of runners?

Is it the "kiss me I'm Irish?".

Is it the design of the lining showing an overflowing beer mug?

Is it the sheer awful, "Americaness" of it all? read full story / add a comment

Since about 3 month half of all universities are occupied and on strike. This Thursday March 8 in Athens and Thessalonica, two great demonstrations took place at the time when the Parliament voted the new law -cadre, which opens universities to private companies.
In Athens, 40.000 demonstrators were in the streets, 5000 in Thessalonica. The demonstration of Athens was regarded as the main event and gathered demonstrators from all of Greece. That of Thessalonica was more local and gathered students from the city itself and north of Greece. The protests become more and more militant, as repression by state escalates.
