Americans Trade Their Right to Habeus Corpus For Marriage Equality?
How quick Americans and the media are to forget about the stripping of our basic human rights, as seen so casually and easily with indefinite detention made permanent law by the National Defense Authorization Act. Throw us a social bone — the basic right to marry — and all the world’s a rage.

Is Occupy Leftist? Huffington Post Thinks So
Is it left to recognize facts that a growth-based, unchecked plutocracy is using up our resources? Are you a socialist to understand how Bank of America and Goldman Sachs profited from deceit at the expense of 99% of us?
WATCH: Interactive Interview w/ Author Richard Heinberg: Are We At The End Of Growth?
We’ll be doing a live interview with Richard Heinberg on January 30, at 8PM Eastern, 5PM Pacific. Heinberg will also answer your live questions via your webcam or chat room, using Vokle technology.
Heinberg, author of The End of Growth, featured on our Essential Reading List, will be discussing what it means to be living in a growth-based economy on a finite planet. If it is not sustainable to grow forever, then what sort of demands should Occupy be making of the system? Do we need fixes, or a complete rethinking of our economy? Do we search for economic justice now, or prepare for an entirely new game?

Obama Going to Save Us From Our Student-Loan Debt Disaster?
Is Obama planning on helping out Americans who are in a debt pile so deep, it’s bigger than the entire American credit card hole? $1,000,000,000,000 and counting (but not with anything other than addition — we can’t afford to educate ourselves beyond that math level anymore).
Thanks for the Donations to #OccupyEducated!… and Why We’re Grateful!

Student Debt Stories – What’s Your Story?
Who cares? Some kid decides to get a college degree in Early Rock Jewelry of Upper-Middle-Earth Hobbits, and they can’t afford it. Why should you care?

FOX News’ sappling was rooted not its 1996 debut, but in the fertile ground of RIchard Nixon’s 1968 presidential campaign, when FOX News creator Roger Ailes used the comfy talk-show/town-hall format to create an infomercial designed to redefine Nixon, from perpetual loser to predestined leader. Ailes’ brilliant delivery of this fake town hall is indistinguishable from the real deal, to the untrained eye.
Because You Are Silent: Journalists Arrested By House Republicans
Arresting journalists, attacking citizen documentarians. You see it on the streets of Occupy every day. Today you see it on Capitol Hill, right in front of your face, because they are betting they can keep turning up the heat as they boil the American frogs. They are betting we will keep becoming ever-more complacent, apathetic, or helpless. We sit online and complain, but do not get out in the streets to stand up against it.
Josh Fox, director of the Academy Award-nominated documentary “Gasland” was taken into custody by Capitol Hill police this morning, along with his crew, after Republicans objected to their presence
