Indigenous people of Brazil trying to prevent their eviction from an old indigenous museum which they have been living in for the past 7 years.
On March 22nd all of the inhabitants and their supporters were forcibly removed or arrested.
The building is being destroyed to make a parking lot :(
This bill, passed late last night in a 93-7 vote, declares the entire USA to be a ”battleground” upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity.
Even WIRED magazine was outraged at this bill, reporting:
Senate Wants the Military to Lock You Up Without Trial
…the detention mandate to use indefinite military detention in terrorism cases isn’t limited to foreigners. It’s confusing, because two different sections of the bill seem to contradict each other, but in the judgment of the University of Texas’ Robert Chesney — a nonpartisan authority on military detention — “U.S. citizens are included in the grant of detention authority.” SourceThe passage of this law is nothing less than an outright declaration of WAR against the American People by the military-connected power elite. If this is signed into law, it will shred the remaining tenants of the Bill of Rights and unleash upon America a total military dictatorship, complete with secret arrests, secret prisons, unlawful interrogations, indefinite detainment without ever being charged with a crime, the torture of Americans and even the ”legitimate assassination” of U.S. citizens on right here on American soil!
If you have not yet woken up to the reality of the police state we’ve been warning you about, I hope you realize we are fast running out of time. Once this becomes law, you have no rights whatsoever in America — no due process, no First Amendment speech rights, no right to remain silent, nothing.
Get ready for a revolution kiddos. The times they are a’changin
This is war on our own people! Given what we have seen with the March-On protests, can anyone see this as a good thing in the least? No. Our freedom has been squandered and taken away. Now, we get to see what oppression REALLY is.
Land of the free. Horse - Shit!

Because I’m so fucking tired of seeing messages on my dash telling everyone to calm the fuck down and everyone’s being stupid.
The hearing today in Congress was basically a Kangaroo Court. The speakers were almost entirely people from corporations…
Be informed!
Trigger Warning on the video for images of police brutality
My friend from UC Berkeley wanted me to help spread/share this. So here it is!
From the description:
“A Peaceful Response to Occupy Berkeley from the Universal Love and Peace (ULAP) Band
Lyrics:
Chancellor’s got a quick hand
He’s looking ‘round the school, he won’t tell you his plan.
Regents pushing budget cuts, 81 percent, yeah, they’re punk ass kids
They’ve got police beating up the students again, they gonna beat them again
I don’t even know what. And they’re coming for you, yeah, they’re coming for you.
[Chorus x2:] All the campus kids with the pumped up fists,
you’d better run, better run, outrun my baton.
All the campus kids with the pumped up fists,
you’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet
Daddy works a long day.
Mama’s working too, gotta get the bills paid, and pay for my next month.
The money’s running low, and the budget’s tight.
I’ve waited for a long time, but this fee increase is now a quick pulled trigger,
Can’t reason with those in charge, gotta fight for my rights, must have lost your wits, yeah
[Chorus x2:] All the campus kids with the pumped up fists,
you’d better run, better run, outrun my baton.
All the campus kids with the pumped up fists,
you’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet
Run, run, run, run, ru- ru- ru- run, run, run, ru- ru- ru- run, run, run, ru- ru- ru- run, ru- run, run, run, run. [Whistling]
[Chorus x2:] All the campus kids with the pumped up fists,
you’d better run, better run, outrun my baton.
All the campus kids with the pumped up fists,
you’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet
