This is precisely how I feel.
werd.
No shit.
Barack is blogging boston terriers in sweaters? Amazeballs.
Look at this face (and these amazing dog sweaters).
Extremely encouraging and has the potential to be even more of a gamechanger. Rock on and OCCUPY THE HOOD!
Occupy The Hood is an autonomous national grassroots movement comprised of activists, organizers and community members working with like-minded individuals and organizations across the US. Occupy The Hood stands in solidarity with any progressive organization or movement who desires and works towards the liberation, benefit and improvement of the quality of life of disenfranchised People of Color.
From Occupation to Liberation, De-Colonize, Empower The Hood.
People of Color, and in particular Black, Brown and Native/Indigenous People, have been disproportionately affected by the issues that the Occupy Movement has recently raised. Unemployment rates double nationwide, disproportionate incarceration rates, wealth gap, subprime mortgages/foreclosures.
Occupy The Hood will work to address many critical issues affecting our communities:
un/under employment, poverty, mass incarceration, political prisoners, school to prison pipeline, police brutality, racial profiling, violence/murders/illegal guns, housing/foreclosures/homelessness/gentrification, health care disparities, educational disparities, food deserts, community development, reparations, economic development, entrepreneurship, gender-specific programs, youth programs, environmental justice, civic engagement, discrimination/racism
Occupy The Hood is officially active in the following Cities: NYC (NY), Detroit (MI), Pittsburgh (PA), Seattle (WA), Philadelphia (PA), Atlanta (GA), Boston (MA), Tacoma (WA), Dallas (TX), Nola (LA), Cincinnati (OH), Portland (OR), St. Louis (MO), Cleveland (OH), Washington (DC), Richmond (VA), Los Angeles (CA) and growing WE ARE THE MOST AFFECTED of the 99%
It has been said that: “Black People are on the bottom of every list that is good, and on the top of every list that is bad.” “When White America has a cold, Black America has pneumonia.”
Black Unemployment Almost double the national average and in many cities/states is triple and quadruple. Unemployment rates nationally for specific groups such as Black Men and Black Teenagers are even more glaring. USA Unemployment = 9.1% Black Unemployment = 16.2 % Black males = 17.5% Black teens almost 41%
Black and Latino Incarceration Rates Black man = 1 in 3 (32%) Latino man = 1 in 6 (17%) White man has = 1 in 17 (5.9%). It costs $35-50,000 annually (varies state/federal) to incarcerate someone.
Black/Latino Wealth Gap The wealth gaps between whites and minorities have grown to their widest levels in a quarter-century. The recession and uneven recovery have erased decades of minority gains, leaving whites on average with 20 times the net worth of blacks and 18 times that of Hispanics, according to an analysis of new Census data.
People of Color Poverty Rates Poverty rates for blacks and Hispanics greatly exceed the national average. In 2010, 27.4 percent of Blacks and 26.6 percent of Hispanics were poor, compared to 9.9 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 12.1 percent of Asians. Poverty rates are highest for families headed by single women, particularly if they are Black or Hispanic. In 2010, 31.6 percent of households headed by single women were poor, while 15.8 percent of households headed by single men and 6.2 percent of married-couple households lived in poverty.
Native-born vs. foreign-born residents In 2010, 19.9 percent of foreign-born residents lived in poverty, compared to 14.4 percent of residents born in the United States. Foreign-born, non-citizens had an even higher incidence of poverty, at a rate of 26.7 percent.

Shiloh can act however she wants. Short hair is cute on girls. And dinosaurs are awesome.
I highly doubt Brad Pitt is wringing his hands over his daughter acting awesome.
Like a BOSS.
Rep. Barney Frank is a total BAMF
His latest interview with The New York Times is fantastic. An excerpt:
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?
Holy shit, people. Let's leave the kids and animals out of it. Jeezus christ on a bike.

Did you ever notice who it is; stop to think who it is we kill? It’s always people who’ve told us to “live together in harmony and try to love one another.” Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon. They all said “try to live together peacefully.” Bam!, right in the fucking head. Apparently we’re not ready for that.

This is a petition on the Directgov website - this goes straight through to parliment and at the current time of posting it only has 21 signatures
I know a lot of people are reblogging the one sponsored by anonymous which is great but if you live in the UK, this is going to be your best best at getting yourself heard about ACTA - even if you don’t live in the UK or even the EU, PLEASE REBLOG THIS, as ACTA is something that not only affects Europe but the rest of the world as well and this could be one of the only opportunities for it to be downturned
ACTA is one more offensive against the sharing of culture on the Internet. ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) is an agreement secretly negotiated by a small “club” of like-minded countries (39 countries, including the 27 of the European Union, the United States, Japan, etc). Negotiated instead of being democratically debated, ACTA bypasses parliaments and international organizations to dictate a repressive logic dictated by the entertainment industries. ACTA would impose new criminal sanctions forcing Internet actors to monitor and censor online communications. It is thus a major threat to freedom of expression online and creates legal uncertainty for Internet companies. In the name of trademarks and patents, it would also hamper access to generic medicines in poor countries. Stop ACTA from ruining Free Speech NOW!

I signed it, so can should guys! : D

Double Done
Lawl. I seriously hope they nominate the anti-romney. That's gonna be hilarimoose.
It is a virtue among the GOP.
Sums it up, imo.
Romney: I’m so against a woman’s choice.
Santorum: I’m way more against a woman’s choice than you are.
Gingrich: Frankly philosophically historically, I’m fundamentally against those Saul Alinsky Radical feminists more than you. Because I’m a historian.
Paul: Hi! I’m a doctor! So my training tells me women should not have a choice.
