US Social Forum: A Confession and a Great Day
I confess to you all—I stayed so late at the party last night that I didn’t make it up for the 9 AM March for Clean Air. What can I say? I could plead age, or asthma—the march is against the world’s largest incinerator, which fills the air with toxic smells—and I’ve been staving off an asthma attack since I got here. But really I think you should just stop reading now and denounce me. Go ahead. You’ll feel better, and so will I.
US Social Forum–An Inspiring Day
Listening to Grace Boggs, connecting with the wonderful people she and her late husband James Boggs collected around them, I am struck by how unafraid they are to talk about love. With all the anger, our own frustrations and the violence we face, they still put love at the heart of their work.

Update on the Flotilla
Most horrifying--the autopsy report on the nine Turkish activists who were killed report that they were shot close range, several in the head and face, and multiple times.
Attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla
Early Monday morning, at 4:30 AM local time, commandos from an Israeli military helicopter assaulted the lead ship of the Gaza Freedom flotilla while it was still in international waters. Soldiers droped from the air in full combat mode and fired live ammunition at the unarmed activists—killing somewhere between ten and twenty people and wounding dozens.
Lavender, Avatar, Palestine, Nukes & Other Ramblings
I’m told that there are online support groups for those who can’t bear the thought that Avatar’s mythical planet Pandora doesn’t exist. But Pandora is real. Pandora is here on earth, in Bil’in, in Los Alamos, in a thousand places and struggles. Link in, and open your eyes. You’ll see a new world—or better yet, help to make one.
Gaza Freedom March: Home At Last!
when you have to start arguing over the nuances of oppression, about whether the number of dead constitutes a massacre or just a slaughter, whether your policies are really genocide or just sorta like genocide, you have left the path of righteousness.
Gaza Freedom March: Wrapping Up
But let me just say this--the point of all our actions was to draw attention to the grave situation in Gaza. If you have been moved by these posts, please write and call your representatives, also Obama and Hillary Clinton, and urge them to put pressure on the Israeli government to lift the siege!

Gaza Freedom March: A Powerful Day of Action 12-31-09
if you physically stop us, then we will have brought Gaza to Cairo—we will dramatize for the eyes of the world the situation that the people of Gaza are in. This pen, this improvised prison in the central square is another annex to the huge, open-air prison that Gaza has become, where a million and a half people live in the most densely crowded conditions on earth, where the Israelis control the borders and decide who can get in and who can get out, rationing out the necessities of life, b;ocking the materials of reconstruction and the means of livelihood for the Gazan people.
Gaza Freedom March: A Day of Preparation 12-30
With all the work and chaos and stress, I found myself almost losing sight of Gaza. But the situation there is dire, and about to become lethal. The steel wall the Israelis plan to construct with financing from Obama’s administration will cut off the tunnels from Egypt. While the Israelis claim the tunnels are used to smuggle weapons—and that’s undoubtedly true—they are primarily a lifeline for food and the goods that Gazans need and cannot obtain because of the siege. If they are closed, people will be reduced from hunger into starvation, from poverty into abject misery.
