Bill Moyers Keynote Speech at the National Conferance for Media Reform
Submitted by rafael on Mon, 06/09/2008 - 01:34.I really enjoyed this speech. Moyers ranges over topics from the alarming shrinkage in daily papers' new sections (replaced by "advertisements, celebraties, nonsense and propaganda") to the future of the internet, the state of democracy, and the importance of the growing media reform movement. Watch it if you've got the time!

shawl society's deb abrahamson speaks out about uranium mining on tribal lands in washington state
Submitted by rick on Tue, 11/27/2007 - 04:22."Many of the women who contracted cancer were the mothers, the aunties, and the sisters. They cleaned the clothes for their sons, brothers, and husbands who went to work in the mines. A lot of the time people were doing double shifts at the mine sites, so people would come home after 16 hours of work and literally take their coats off and fall asleep, not change their clothing or anything."

The group that may be the most prepared for the 2008 Democratic National Convention is also the least likely to be prepared. It doesn't represent labor unions or mainstream progressives, but anarchists. A loose coalition of anti-authoritarian factions from across the nation have formed an outfit called Unconventional Action, with the express goal of disrupting and shutting down the DNC and RNC. Activists say that anarchists in this country have never planned such a large-scale action so far in advance of a specific event, and certainly not with such openness and strategy. read more »

TURKEY AND THE PKK
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 10/24/2007 - 14:30.Thomas Riggins
Some reflections on the current Turkey/PKK standoff in Northern Iraq. If Turkey wants to end PKK attacks it might try, as a first measure, extending full citizen and human rights to the Kurdish population of Turkey. The Kurds are not allowed to freely use their language. A people's culture and traditions can not be preserved and respected if the state persecutes them with regard to the use of their national language.
Turkey should end efforts at forced assimilation of Kurdish children to "Turkishness" and other efforts at cultural genocide. Turkey should also end policies of violent repression of peaceful manifestations of Kurdish nationalism. read more »
