The
right-wing justifies the wealthy hoarding enormous sums by highlighting
their charitable donations - but less than 1/3 goes to organizations
that serve the public good.
nd. Loving, here - I'm working on a book of my writings of these last 5 years or so - the 'Sayings' that have come to me as the rungs of the ladder that have led me to my Heart, Joy, Peace of Heart, Sanity, Humanity.... If chemo-brain returns (a real thing) it will slow me down a lot.

- Jailing farmers who protest against fracking on their land will be
the ultimate outcome of Will Hodgman’s campaign against free speech,
says Environment Tasmania
pic. "We torture and kill two billion sentient living beings every week. 10,000 entire species are wiped out every year because of the actions of one, and we are now facing the sixth mass extinction in cosmological history. IF any other organism did this, a biologist would consider them a virus."
BREAKING! 2 Activists locked down, 8 detained at Devon Tower in OKC.
Two activists with Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance (GPTSR) and Cross
Timbers Earth First! locked themselves inside a revolving door at the
Devon Tower in protest of Devon’s involvement in toxic tar sands
extraction and fracking, as well as plans to increase fracking in the
Eagle Ford Shale.
Simultaneously, a banner displaying a Mockingjay from the Hunger Games series was unfurled from the second story, reading: “The Odds are Never in Our Favor.”
This action coincides with two days of trial for folks in the Mi’kmaq
Warrior Society who were arrested while preventing natural gas
exploration on their traditional lands.
UPDATE:
8 folks scene have been detained and placed in cop cars, waiting to
hear on what charges they were arrested. The whole street is blocked off
and firefighters are surrounding the
door that folks are locked down to. On a brighter note, check out this
banner. And donate to our bail fund at: http://gptarsandsresistance.org/donate/

FILES: What if environmental and social impacts were included in the
purchase price of factory-farmed food, rather than subsidized? (Prince
Charles thinks it's a good idea...)
What
I always felt made Lucas 4:18 different was that they were 'real,' they didn't use words like 'Jesus,' 'God,' 'Prayer,' 'Bible...' like they
were some sort of magic chant, fetish.... They all seemed to understand
that God = Loving, Christ = Loving, Gospel = Loving, Jesus = Loving... Loving = God; Loving = Church... and the whole deal is we are to not USE Jesus like some magic
wand, but we are to BE CHRIST-LIKE, LIKE JESUS... LOVING. "Love as I
have Loved...." "They will know you by how you Love." I see all that
in their new picture here. Loving

Get Richer, Poor Get Poorer: A study by economist Emmanuel Saez shows

the top 0.01 percent increased by 76.2 percent. Read the study http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~saez/saez-UStopincomes-2012.pdf
"Governor
McCrory's delay tactics would make it harder for North Carolinians to
participate in the political process in 2014. Unlike the governor, we
believe voters get to choose their elected officials – elected officials
don't get to choose their voters,"

Proving once again that you don't have to be a Catholic to like this
guy. Whether you think it's a PR stunt or not, he's putting out the
right message, and I think that's a good thing.
