Tell the EPA: Immediately suspend the pesticide that's killing bees!
Dear Friend,A blockbuster study released last week by the European Food Safety
Authority (EFSA), has for the first time labeled the pesticide
clothianidin as an "unacceptable" danger to bees. Scientists have long thought that clothianidin is at least partially to
blame for the alarming rate that bees have been dying off in the U.S. -
nearly 30% of our bee population, per year, has been lost to so-called
colony collapse since 2006.But the EPA has repeatedly ignored scientists' warnings and Americans'
urgings to ban its use, citing lack of evidence.Now, the EFSA study could be a major breakthrough to convince the EPA to
take emergency action, and suspend the use of clothianidin to stop the
precipitous decline in global honeybee populations.I just signed a petition urging the EPA to take action. add you name here

Aaron
Friends, You've surely heard of Aaron Swartz's tragic passing. Demand Progress sent out this statement today, and is encouraging those who'd like to help forward Aaron's fight against injustice to sign up here: http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/updates?referring_akid=1966.45919.P5mkBh&s... --- We are deeply saddened by the passing of Demand Progress’s Aaron Swartz. Friends and family have issued a statement and created a memorial page, here. http://rememberaaronsw.tumblr.com/ Aaron was a dear friend, and an ideological brother in arms. As others have spoken to at great length, he was indeed a passionate advocate for access to information and for a free and open Internet. He believed in these things for their own sakes, but moreover as means towards the even deeper end of building a world defined by social and economic justice. He resisted the impulse to presume that he alone was responsible for his brilliance or should benefit therefrom, and he wasn’t a techno-utopian: He was a communitarian, somebody who was deeply aware of our world’s injustices and who understood the constant struggle that is necessary to even begin to remedy them. That’s why this organization exists. We’ve worked closely with Aaron over the last two or three years, but have not known him for as long as have some others who’ve written profoundly moving tributes to him and his life’s work. We met him as a genius, but not as the boy-genius that Larry and Cory and many others knew, and we would suggest reading their pieces for deeper insight into his personal and professional evolution. We first encountered Aaron through our executive director’s unsuccessful run for Congress in 2010. Aaron became a fixture in the campaign office, rigging up cheap ways to do polling and robo-calls and helping give the uphill effort a fighting chance. But it was never about just one campaign: He was honing skills and tools he wanted to use to build capacity for much broader social movements that would create fundamental, structural change. He’d taken to calling himself an “applied sociologist.” He was trying to hack the world, and we were happy to help in what small ways we could. That campaign work quickly transitioned into Demand Progress and Aaron’s conception of the initial petition in opposition to the Combating Online Infringements and Counterfeits Act, and then the ensuing 18 months of activism that helped bring down SOPA and PIPA. There are so many stories to tell about that effort: trudging around the halls of the Capitol, getting under the skin of intransigent senators, generally scrapping away as we struggled to build a movement against all odds. Many of them are best told by Aaron himself, here. But Aaron’s legal troubles began approximately commensurate with the launch of that anti-COICA petition, and it was clear that his persecution by an institutionally corrupted criminal justice system weighed heavily on him throughout the last two years, and certainly more so of late. We are working with Aaron’s friends, family, and colleagues to determine how best to pay tribute to him — it will surely entail engaging in political activism in service of making this world a more just one. We will be in touch with our members and the general public in the near future to offer suggestions about ways to move forward. Tragically, we’ll have to continue to stifle the visceral impulse to run our half-formed ideas by Aaron, to help us make them better ones. Click here if you’d like to receive updates from us. http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/updates?referring_akid=1966.45919.P5mkBh&s... In the meantime, Aaron had deep respect for GiveWell. Those seeking to donate in his name might consider giving to the charities they recommend. http://www.givewell.org/

I Do Not Support the Troops

Michael Moore
I don't support the troops, America, and neither do you. I am tired of the ruse we are playing on these brave citizens in our armed forces. And guess what -- a lot of these soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines see right through the bull**** of those words, "I support the troops!," spoken by Americans with such false sincerity -- false because our actions don't match our words.
Obama's Lawless, Secretive Drone War Continues Over Pakistan
via (title unknown) by jon on 1/3/13
While domestic issues dominate the headlines in the US, a clandestine war in the tribal regions of Pakistan continued apace Thursday, with separate drone attacks leaving many dead and revealing fresh evidence of illegal behavior by the CIA.
A top leader in the Pakistani Taliban was reported killed by a US drone strike early Thursday along with between six and ten other individuals in South Waziristan.
