The procedure is now performed by only four doctors in the United States, all former colleagues of Dr. Tiller, who risk their lives every day in the name of their unwavering commitment toward their patients.

The Shutdown, the Showdown, and the Urgent Need to Repolarize... for Revolution

What Must Be Done

"None of us can be mere spectators in this situation. And we don't have to be-there is a way, now, to go to work on these contradictions." 

 

The government shutdown dominates the news. Republicans and Democrats fight in a stalemate, unable to agree. There is talk, including by mainstream commentators, that "our democracy is imperiled." (See Thomas Friedman's op-ed, "Our Democracy Is at Stake," in the October 1 New York Times.) Each night witnesses a parade of extreme right-wing demagogues dominating the cable news shows, influencing the thinking of millions, and rallying people to their side.  Read more

Critically Needed- Powerful Outpourings on October 22 

Revolution newspaper/revcom.us

 The 18th annual National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation is less than two weeks away.  Look at the horrors being inflicted on people-from police killing people to youth being brutalized because they are Black or Latino, immigrants being hit with raids that tear families apart, repression against those who stand up against injustice, and more.

 

 

The question is: Are we going to stand up and loudly say NO MORE to these horrors, or will they be allowed to continue? read more 

Sun. October 13, 3:00 pmAA Author Reading & Book Signing  with Pamela Olson     Fast Times in Palestine, A Love Affair with a Homeless Homeland      For much of her life- like many Westerners - most of what Pamela Olson knew of the Middle East was informed by headlines and stereotypes. But when she stumbled into Palestine on a post-college backpacking trip, she found herself thrown with dizzying speed into the realities of daily life in the West Bank.     Harrowing, funny, vivid, entertaining and deeply humane, Fast Times in Palestine opens a rare window onto Palestinian life. It's impossible not to be moved on nearly every page.      - Sandy Tolan, author of The Lemon Tree I realize that without knowing it, I have long waited for this book, although I could not have imagined its lyric magic in advance of reading.       - Richard Falk, professor emeritus of                      international law at Princeton What makes her story so compelling is that she tells it in an honest and straightforward way, not by relying on hot rhetoric. For anyone who wants to learn the truth about life under Israeli occupation, this book is a superb starting point. - Prof. John J. Mearsheimer, co-author of The Israel Lobby     Suggested donation: $10.00  No one will be turned away-refreshments

Republicans and Democrats fight in a stalemate, unable to agree. There is talk, including by mainstream commentators, that "our democracy is imperiled." (See Thomas Friedman's op-ed, "Our Democracy Is at Stake," in the October 1 New York Times.) Each night witnesses a parade of extreme right-wing demagogues dominating the cable news shows, influencing the thinking of millions, and rallying people to their side.      What is going on? Is the situation as serious as some say? Why? Who are these Republicans? Are they just lunatics, fools, and racists-or are they actually proceeding with a strategy and a goal in mind? And what about the Democrats-are they "finally standing up for reason"? Why do these disagreements seem so bitter-is it for real, is it for short-term advantage, or is it just fakery altogether? What is really being fought over-is it only about health care? What stakes, if any, do the masses of people-in the U.S. but, more important, all around the world-have in this conflict? And what challenge does this pose to those who really want to see a better world? Read more
