Mexico's law enforcement is extremely corrupt; its members consume the drugs themselves and commit hundreds of human rights violations with impunity. This video shows a peaceful community in southern Mexico that was recently invaded and threatened by Mexican law enforcement, shortly after the U.S. House voted to approve Plan Mexico. Our tax dollars would be spent on th...

UCSC Inauguration or fenced in Coronation? 
The fences are going up all around East Field at UCSC in order to restore the meadow. We are sure the gophers appreciate the interruption of their view of the festivities for the Inauguration tomorrow. Our bovine comrades have been moved to a different pasture as well, even though their manure would certainly help the fallow meadow. But our gopher sources have let us in on what a waste of resources this is....

Watching Us Pee Tim Rumford passed on this bit of news--a story the Santa Cruz Sentinel has not yet broken--about the surveillance state, or, more accurately , the good ole free enterprise system in action. Perhaps the UCSC activists who corrected the 8th Amendment violations on campus by removing the offending snoopsystem there, can extend their activities to the greater Santa Cruz area?...
