AN AMERICAN EPIDEMIC: Hate Crimes Against Homeless People
As disturbing as the case descriptions contained in NCH's report are, what is even more ominous is that homeless people have almost no protection against such cruelty. Poor people are not a protected class under federal civil rights statutes, and none of the current hate crime laws in the United States include or acknowledge hate crimes based on economic or housing status....

REGIME CHANGE BEGINS AT HOME
Hundreds of thousands--indeed millions in some cities--mobilized against the war in Iraq and the question now becomes, where do we go from here?

Israeli Occupation Forces New Anti-Peace Activist Tactics
Members of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a non-violent group that attempts to provide protection to Palestinians, have been particularly targeted. In the wake of the death of American ISM member Rachel Corrie and the shootings of Brian Avery and Tom Hurndall, who is still in coma, the Israel military is asking internationals to sign a new declaration that not only relieves the Israeli Government of responsibility for any deaths but also asks the individual signing to confirm th...

Yappy Condoleeza - Who Let The Dogs Out?
Condoleeza Rice reminds me of one of those shaggy little dogs that bark too much because their bite is harmless. You know the kind I mean. They have a high-pitched yip that pierces the silence and they don't stop barking until their human locks them in another room or gives them a doggie treat. Although their bite is the equivalent of the bite one gets from a deerfly, it is their bark that is their true weapon....
