Waving, not drowning: rampART 2009 and beyond
from email, 11 January 2009: "Despite rumours to the contrary, rampART Social Centre and Creative Space is very much alive, well and ready to connect. We’ve had our problems over the past year, not least because we’ve been preparing for an eviction that hasn’t happened. Bowl Court was amazing but, ultimately, devastating. In its short life it showed us what a social centre can potentially realise but it also took energy and resources away from rampART and left us with a building in dire need of renovation and an exhausted and dissipated collective. So much for the past. Now for the future….." more

Satire for Russell PearceSunday, July 12, 2009
Satire for Russell Pearce
No more catch and release of the unwelcome male
(or, what if you took the extremist position of our anti-immigrant Arizona Senator Russell Pearce, and put it in a different context?)
by Senator Valerie Solanas Pearce
I sat ashen as I watched the news reports. Several chiefs of police stood at a press conference and publicly refused to enforce the law. Less than a month after the brutal murder of a police officer at the hands of a male, they snubbed the opportunity to make necessary changes and violated their oaths of office for the sake of political correctness. Meanwhile, people are killed, maimed and raped. Men cost citizens billions to educate, medicate and incarcerate, and they take jobs from women.

Call for Submissions
What should the No Borders/Freedom of Movement/Solidarity with Immigrants Struggle in the U.S. look like?
CAROB (central arizona radicals opposing borders) is calling for submissions for a zine to answer this question and more.
There is a lack of discussion on strategy among radicals/anarchists/anti-capitalists/anti-authoritarians regarding borders in the U.S.
We are looking for
essays, interviews, proposals, articles about experiences
Think about address some of these questions:
what should we be doing?
what has worked and what has not?
what does solidarity with undocumented immigrants look like?
what can we learn from other movements?
what are the targets/audience/focus? the state, white supremacist groups, whiteness, citizens, capitalism, etc?
how do we organize on a larger scale around these issues?
how does a struggle for no borders fit into larger struggles?
what are the particular roles of people with privilege?
what is an accurate analysis of what's going on?
email carob@riseup.net with questions or submissions

David Grenier's Blog
Facebook killed the Wordpress starSo as yinz’ve noticed, I don’t really blog anymore. If I actually think of something to blog about, it invariably turns out that by the time I sit down to write, the subject has been covered elsewhere in greater detail. So I’ve discovered the joys of Facebook where I can easily just link to other [...]
Fragments, or:
Rich thrillsI lack the imagination of the rich — or, rather, if I were rich I’d use my imagination to burn through $200,000, and not blow it strapped to a rocket for a couple of hours in space. My hominid brain can’t fathom the draw of going into space: who cares? And at cocktail parties, sure, you might [...]
The Atlantic makes us warm inside
Oh my peers, my readers, you will love this: But in fact a whole generation of young adults is likely to see its life chances permanently diminished by this recession. Lisa Kahn, an economist at Yale, has studied the impact of recessions on the lifetime earnings of young workers. In one recent study, she followed the career [...]
Data in, cash out
I’ve been busy. For almost a year. Full-time work, a valueless and debased graduate education, drink — these things eat up my time. And all the moments I have left I spend frittering away thinking about the poetry I ought have been writing. But the rent must be paid. And the utilities — which aren’t that much, considering what [...]
