It's the antidote to the consumerism and cynicism that define our culture.

Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:

For those that think changes can't be made by individuals uniting for common cause this article begs to differ with that hopelessness idea.

EmilieSoleil's curator insight, January 16, 2013 10:56 AM

Using Manuel Castells as a reference, the power of ICTs become apparent in a setting of social movements. They create a space of public discussion and debate that can be compared to Habermas' public sphere. The power of communication is evident as activists act as a counter-power challenging the existing order and institutions in place.

McConnell aims to reshape courts in case Senate flips

McConnell aims to reshape courts in case Senate flips | AUSTERITY & OPPRESSION SUPPORTERS VS THE PROGRESSION Of The REST OF US | Scoop.it
From www.politico.com - Today, 5:41 AM
The Kentucky Republican is laser-focused on confirming conservative judges in what may be his last months as majority leader.
Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
How do you force people to do want you (or your donors) want even if the public majority doesn’t agree or want it? Stack the deck with judges that agree with you is your only option. hope the majority of people which happen to not agree with you don’t notice. Sort of like boiling a frog. Mitch is hoping people won’t notice till it is too late.

Federal Report: Students with Disabilities Lose Their Rights if They Use a Voucher | AUSTERITY & OPPRESSION SUPPORTERS VS THE PROGRESSION Of The REST OF US | Scoop.it
From dianeravitch.net - April 4, 9:21 AM
States that establish vouchers follow a strategy of putting the camel's-nose-under-the-tent. They usually begin by offering a  voucher for students with disabilities. Then they add a voucher for children who are low-income or a voucher for students in schools with low test scores (to "save poor children from failing schools). Then another, and another, and…

Their connection to feminism may not be obvious, but issues such as tax evasion and money laundering are ultimately about women’s rights. Because when austerity and inequality combine, it’s women and girls who suffer.

Top Republican Official Says Trump Won Wisconsin Because of Voter ID Law –

Top Republican Official Says Trump Won Wisconsin Because of Voter ID Law – | AUSTERITY & OPPRESSION SUPPORTERS VS THE PROGRESSION Of The REST OF US | Scoop.it
From www.motherjones.com - April 17, 5:43 AM
Election officials and Democrats in Wisconsin have repeatedly argued that the state’s strict voter ID law allowed Donald Trump to win the state in 2016 by keeping thousands of voters—predominantly in Democratic-leaning areas—from the polls. Now a top Republican official in the state is saying the same thing. “We battled to get voter ID on the ballot for […]
Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
GOP brag about how they controlled the registered voters and prevented tens of thousands from voting. The GOP’s way of keeping the vote clean and honest. Turns out that was likely the only way they could win Wisconsin. They had to rig the game in a good many states with voter ID and other measures to obstruct legal registered voters from voting.

APNewsBreak: No Perjury Prosecution Over Costly VA Hospital

APNewsBreak: No Perjury Prosecution Over Costly VA Hospital | AUSTERITY & OPPRESSION SUPPORTERS VS THE PROGRESSION Of The REST OF US | Scoop.it
From www.usnews.com - April 9, 4:39 PM

The House Veterans Affairs Committee asked for a perjury investigation last fall, claiming the executives repeatedly gave false testimony that masked serious problems with the hospital construction project.

The Justice Department told lawmakers in a May 19 letter that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman of Colorado released the letter to The Associated Press on Thursday.

The decision means no one has yet been fired or criminally charged since the cost of the hospital ballooned to nearly $1.7 billion, almost triple earlier estimates.

I may be giving input about the VA hospital at Memphis soon. I'm hoping it will be good. I am a huge supporter of training very smart medical professionals to serve the public and funding their education to do so...Much of the VA was privatized during the Bush and Clinton years using contractors and contract doctors in at least overseas clinics... This lowered the quality of service as retention of both military ranking medical professionals and contractor retention was awful as well…it became a pass through spot looking for a real and better job. . While saving tax payer dollars that then went to fund contractor pockets rather than funding medical, life time medical military commitments , great top of the line on the job training and retirements as well as serious medical education for very bright young people that otherwise wouldn't afford the tab...We didn't get the best deal in the privatization contract.

  The Michigan House decided to let charters share in the bounty of votes on millage, where citizens vote to fund their public schools. 80% of charters in Michigan operate for profit, so this will boost their bottom line and steal taxpayer dollars intended for the 90% of children in public schools. The decision now…
