Philippine Chief Justice Corona urged to resign

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 12/18/2011 - 06:07

TWO days after a "court holiday" was declared in support of impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona, Bantay Gloria Network (BGN) responded with a "national day of action" to press for the removal of Corona from his post.

Dubbed the "people's holiday from injustice and impunity," around 3,000 anti-corruption advocates trooped to the high tribunal to "reclaim" the Supreme Court from the hands of a "midnight chief justice."

Dear One Percenters,

Hi there. I’m writing you from down here in the 99%. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Even though this is a young movement, I’ve been seeing it all over the pages of you finance magazines: Forbes, Fortune, The Economist. This whole global protest against greed thing seems to have made you quite uneasy.

Glitter Rains Down on Anti-Gay Booth at MN State Fair

Submitted by RobertErickson on Mon, 09/05/2011 - 03:00

St. Paul, MN — Glitter rained down from the heavens in a "Minnesota Miracle" on the anti-marriage equality booth at the Minnesota state fair. LGBT equality activists showered the booth from a skilift shouting: "where's our booth?" and "equality for all" in reference to the strange appearance of the anti-gay booth despite the exclusion of a pro-equality booth on the fairgrounds.
