Please sponsor my 5k swim coming up in April and help support Marie Curie Cancer Care, an organisation which provides home nursing care to people with terminal illnesses.

Just in case you had any doubt that police protection of the right-wing faction of the oligarchy during their party-cum-extended-commercial would get out of hand, independent journalist Amy Goodman, along with others from the Democracy Now! team, have been arrested. You can find more information here and here.

You can take action by emailing major media outlets demanding that they cover this story and signing the freepress letter to local authorities.

On a related note, a Code Pink protester at the DNC– you know, the party-cum-extended-commercial of the vaguely fauxgressive half of the oligarchy– was brutalized by the police, a story the mainstream media has wholly neglected, which shows why we need independent journalists at these events.
