Protesters walk the streets of Washington, D.C., Thurs., August 1, 2013, blocking a major intersection near the Capitol and calling for a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million unauthorized immigrants. (Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/MCT)Comment: This is kind of a moot question. As I understand the proposed Immigration Legislation it still has too many flaws and hurdles for those who will be most affected by it all: Mexican immigrants who are already here now in the U.S.A. by the millions. So many we do not even know approximately how many, though a rough estimate is 11-13 million. How can a U.S. Congress mainly composed of rich, White men possibly design Humane Immigration Legislation? @Peta_de_Aztlan

Comment: 10/28/2013 Who knows what happened that day other than the living police officers involved? Who are the surviving witnesses other than the police? Who is alive to tell the truth? Did the youth raise his gun in a threatening manner? Brother Andy Lopez cannot tell us.
Certainly we must see the local police as the local military in uniform. Nowadays we are not talking about Peace Officers! The local police are the armed front line on the domestic level for the Evil Empire who actually occupy our repressed communities like a foreign occupying army . They are trained and equipped to repress any rebellion! @Peta_de_Aztlan

10/28/2013 #READ: Our Invisible Revolution ~By Chris Hedges @Truthdig
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/our_invisible_revolution_20131028
Comment: 10/28/2013 I am a hard core Radical and support Revolution by any and all means necessary. Naturally I personally prefer a peaceful non-violent revolution, but an authentic Global Revolution is required, not merely a regional one. We should utilize all applicable tactics in our general situation based upon factual analyses of actual conditions in a given situation, including the powers of the vote, electoral politics and alternative political parties, esp. on the local level.
We must relate to the present level of mass consciousness as we comprehend it and not confuse it with the consciousness of progressive activists who are fortunate enough to be online. Basic community work needs to be done. More than just a vague call for civil disobedience.
I love Chris Hedges, BUTTT he should get hip and humble to having a Twitter Account {just as Chomsky should}.

Protesting at the Mexican Attorney General offices in the nation’s capital, grief-stricken relatives of 12 youths kidnapped from a night club in Mexico City say authorities corrupted by drug syndicates did not stop enforcers from hacking to death and decapitating the victims, whose bodies were found in a pit three months later.
