Iberville:No Murders No News mike howells 2010-08-25 9:19 AM
A press conference highlighting that the Iberville public housing development went twelve months without a murder met with a corporate news blackout. An examination of murder and shooting statistics since 2008 indicate that, media coverage aside, Iberville is by no means a local hotbed of violent crime. These same statistics reveal that criminal violence is actually more pervasive in the high income, privately owned French Quarter than the low-income publicly owned Iberville housing development. This fact does not stop the local corporate media from identifying murders and shootings in Iberville even when these crimes happen in other neighborhoods. (text/plain)

Scatterbrain -- an essay on intimate male violence Dolores Young 2010-08-19 10:06 PM
This may be a lot to digest for any bros who may decide to read it but, I am positive most women will get where this comes from. It doesn’t matter whether or not they’ve been in direct combat with a partner. This is the place that we are forced to exist in. If you’re a guy and you, at some point in your life, began identifying yourself as a “punk,” take just a fucking minute and evaluate how you are treating your lady comrades. (text/plain)

Let’s get rid of prison rape. Let’s reinstitute rehabilitation. Let’s repeal certain draconian sentencing laws. All good and essential ideas. But very little – in some cases, nothing - will fundamentally change unless those ideas, and more, are advanced within a strategic framework of abolition. (image/jpeg)

"Damage Control" and the Real Damage Done Gulf Oil Disaster Is NOT Over Orpheus Reed- Revolution Newspaper 2010-08-12 5:30 AM
The Gulf of Mexico oil disaster is now officially the largest marine oil spill in world history. The damage that has been done is incalculable, and damage is still going on. But the government, which has lied about this crisis all along, is trying to tell people, "Move along, it's all over here." (text/plain)

A Terrible Thunder: The Story of the New Orleans Sniper Dylan rail 2010-08-07 10:09 PM
The story of Mark Essex should be as familiar as Robin Hood to the people of New Orleans, and in some wards at least, his story has reached a similarly legendary, hero-of-the-poor status since his 1973 death at the hands of the New Orleans Police. As anarchist professor John Clark recently relayed to me, "The 1960s actually happened in the 1970s in New Orleans," and this book illustrates his point exactly. (text/plain + 2 comments)

BP Texas Refinery Had Huge Toxic Release Just Before Gulf Blowout repost - Ryan Knutson 2010-07-27 3:05 PM

Two weeks before the blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, the huge, trouble-plagued BP refinery in Texas City, Texas spewed tens of thousands of pounds of toxic chemicals into the skies. photo by Lance Rosenfield The release from the BP facility here began on April 6 and lasted 40 days. A 2005 explosion at the same refinery killed 15 workers; four more workers have died in accidents since then. Last year, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined the company $87 million for failing to address safety problems that caused the 2005 blast. (image/jpeg + 4 comments)

BP continues to block access to the Plight of our birds, our Wildlife Elizabth Cook 2010-07-27 11:30 AM

Perhaps ithe greatest way that we can help the creatures, the wildlife impacted by this oil spill is to demand immediate and continuous access to our oil impacted beaches and marshes in order to observe and document their conditions and help when possible. Observation of wildlife will also give us clues as to possible effects on people exposed to toxins associated with this spill. Below I outline my reasoning: (image/jpeg)

Abolishing the Prison Industrial Complex --An interview with Criminal Injustice Kos Angola 3 News 2010-07-13 1:00 AM

If one accepts, as I do, that prisons in the US are a contemporary extension of chattel slavery, that prisons are irredeemably rooted in racism and classism that prisons serve no purpose save corporate profit and raw retribution, then one must call for their abolition. Prison “reform” is insufficient if the very notion and reality of prison itself is grounded in inequality, injustice and destruction. (image/jpeg)

THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT: The BP Oil Spill, Nigerian Rebels, The Meaning of Sustainability... Ray B. 2010-07-08 12:15 AM

Like a mine explosion, an outbreak of smallpox, or a chestnut blight, BP's oil spill looked like just another disaster, a tragic mistake made by benevolent capitalists. But like those past tragedies, this oil spill is a predictable consequence of an industrial civilization where risks are not calculated by those who will face the consequences should something go wrong.
