We have the right to vote against the corrupt SF Redevelopment Agency and other corrupt politicians in the Bayview Hunters Point.

textGerman media, politicians launch chauvinist campaign over a “Muslim takeover” of Germany by wsws (reposted)
Campaigns alleging that a nation is being “swamped” by foreigners have always been part of the repertoire of right-wing extremist politics. The influx of immigrants, their culture and language is regarded as a threat to one’s “own” people and—depending upon which version is being promulgated—Western or German culture. In recent times, the danger of being “swamped” has been replaced by that of a “Muslim-takeover,” with the difference, however, that such agitation is not limited to right-wing e...

textPBS Criticized for Excluding Latino, Native Voices from Documentary on Second World War by Democracy Now (reposted)
A coalition of Latino organizations have been criticizing PBS over a forthcoming documentary by Ken Burns on World War II because it ignores the role played by Latino soldiers in the war. The 14-hour film, “The War,” includes no interviews with any Latino veterans even though over 500,000 Latinos served in the war.

textSingo furious over Broadcast Regulator’s ruling on Alan Jones by barra
One could almost feel sorry for highflying, right wing, media types who derive a living from exploiting the lowest aspects of human nature. But there is ‘no love lost’ around here and I imagine anywhere else. Media moguls are getting a taste of life at the receiving end, perhaps they may think twice before making IRRESPONSIBLE racist, vilifying comments at the expense of those in the least position to defend themselves. The results of negative media hype and racist remarks include foul abuse ...

Just a few months ago, ABC/Disney used its substantial resources to try to stiffle the voice of a critic of their hateful KSFO programming in the Bay Area.

textMuwekma Ohlone excercised Right of First Refusal on Presidio of San Francisco by Francisco Da Costa
The Muwemka Ohlone exercised the Right of First Refusal on the Presidio of San Francisco in 1992. What this means is that the First People of San Francisco have the right of jurisdiction over the Presidio of San Francisco, besides the long standing Patrimonial Jurisdiction. It will not be long when the Muwekma Ohlone are restored and put on the Federal Register. Then the negotiations can begin - between a Sovereign Nation and a measly quasi-federal entity like the Presidio Trust backed by Nan...
