Do Our Protests Accomplish Nothing? A Response to a Smug Cop 
[Photo: Denver, Colorado cops who wore t-shirts with the slogan “we get up early to beat the crowds”. Police abuses of protesters did occur at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Cops bragging, proud to beat us down, no surprise there. At the heart of the capitalist state are its repressive cops, prisons, military, and courts. They are part of a system that only represents the wealthy and cannot be reformed, but must be smashed in proletarian socialist revolution.]...

Ferguson Photos By Jessie S.with Interview, both rejected by Slingshot 
With some resistance from the Slingshot collective, [by some I mean normative,] the interview was seemingly accepted by the collective, yet Jessie S. was essentially rejected from a Slingshot collective meeting. I felt that some discrimination had occured, [Slingshot is horribly biased and secular, I wasn't sure at the time if this was prejudice.] This photography rejection was racist in nature. In the past myself and many others have been snubbed by Slingshot, all kinds of prejudiced feeling...

A wealth tax is vital to reverse the exploding inequality. The richest 400 Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million....
