Athens: Responsibility claim for arson on two police cars, spotted at an auto repair shop in the district of Goudi. And time is passing by, minutes are crowding alongside each other, and days are whistling carefree. Our thoughts slip from the dictatorships of watches and monotonous repetitions, seeking paths of transgression. Morning alarms ring loudly in our ears, identical figures scare us on the streets, our nightmares lurk… Dreams are interrupted by chases, screams of torture, and the last words of people who were executed or committed suicide; by the sighing of immigrant outcasts, the crying of small children, the secrets of imprisoned brothers and sisters.
The quiet night sleep in the metropolis, inside the dark bedrooms, beneath the bloodstained sheets, is merely hypocritical. How can anyone sink into their sleep, close their eyes and dream while at the same time the street shadows are under persecution? How can consciousness be complacent on a pillow when the blood of the whole world is flowing at night in the avenues of sighing? A walk through the city. Monday, November 19th, at dawn. Source.

Image scaled down Δεκάδες είναι πλέον στην πόλη και όλη τη χώρα οι ρατσιστικές επιθέσεις σε μετανάστες (με μαχαιρώματα, ξυλοδαρμούς, ληστείες ακόμα και δολοφονίες) από τις αποθρασυμένες φασιστικές συμμορίες που κινούνται με την κάλυψη της αστυνομίας. Πολύ πρόσφατα, στην περιοχή της Πλ. Αμερικής μια συμμορία ναζιστών μαζί με μερικούς ντόπιους ρατσιστές επιχείρησαν να δημιουργήσουν καθεστώς φόβου και μισαλλοδοξίας σε βάρος των αφρικανών μεταναστών που ζουν στη γειτονιά. Αποκορύφωμα της δράσης τους αποτέλεσε το πογκρόμ που έκαναν την Τρίτη 25 Σεπτέμβρη με την προστασία αστυνομικών δυνάμεων, όπου έσπασαν τα γραφεία της τανζανικής κοινότητας και καταστήματα, ενώ επιτέθηκαν σε μετανάστες που ζουν στη γειτονιά και επιχείρησαν να τρομοκρατήσουν μαθητές, παιδιά μεταναστών, μέσα στο σχολείο τους. Τις αμέσως επόμενες μέρες ακολούθησε σειρά αντιφασιστικών κινητοποιήσεων, με αποκορύφωμα την Παρασκευή 12 Οκτώβρη που πραγματοποιήθηκε στην Πλ. Μετά τα ρατσιστικά πογκρόμ στον Αγ.
Loving-your-body. CC Image Courtesy of julien haler on Flickr Fat. Skinny. Young. Old. Growing up, I was one of the tallest kids in my class, and certainly the tallest girl. Many of us learned at a young age to leap outside our bodies and judge our appearance – do I look cute? These are our bodies – our sacred vessels and our very beings while we live, breathe and make love on this magical planet. What if we break this heartbreaking pattern of despair and disembodiment? I recently filmed a series of videos for PassionateU.com, one on this very topic. I shifted to living from the inside out – sensual, alive, grateful for this amazing gift of embodiment. Try it now, if you’d like, or log on to PassionateU.com and do it along with me in the video. Lawyers: SPD hiding alleged beating video from public. SEATTLE -- Local lawyers say video of an alleged beating by a Seattle police officer is so explosive that if released, it would immediately go viral.
They claim that is the reason Seattle police are keeping the video hidden from public view. As a result, they and their client are suing the department. Back in October, Leo Etherly was bruised and black-eyed. As for how he got that way, Seattle police dash cam video could tell that story. Except police won't allow Etherly to have a copy, and they won't allow Etherly's attorney to share his copy with the public. Here's how Etherly tells it: "I was motionless, and he (the officer) was still punching me and says something to the effect of, 'You effing idiot.'" Witness video shows Etherly's face after he is already handcuffed on the ground. Store surveillance video indistinctly shows Etherly on the hood of a police cruiser.
But the best video of Etherly's Oct. 6 arrest would be from the police officer's own dashboard camera. Dolan Champions Sainthood for Dorothy Day, Hero of Catholic Left. But Day has found a seemingly unlikely champion in New York’s conservative archbishop, Cardinal , who has breathed new life into an effort to declare the Brooklyn native a saint. Cardinal Dolan has embraced her cause with striking zeal: speaking on the anniversaries of her birth and death, distributing Dorothy Day prayer cards to parishes and even buying roughly 100 copies of her biography to give out last year as Christmas gifts to civic officials including Mayor Michael R.
Bloomberg. This month, at Cardinal Dolan’s recommendation, the voted unanimously to move forward with her canonization cause, even though, as some of the bishops noted, she had an abortion as a young woman and at one point flirted with joining the Communist Party. “I am convinced she is a saint for our time,” Cardinal Dolan said at the bishops’ meeting. She exemplifies, he said, “what’s best in Catholic life, that ability we have to be ‘both-and’ not ‘either-or.’ ” Her daily work continues. At St. Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas!
