“Poverty is not a lack of character. It is a lack of money. A lack of opportunity. A lack of investment. It is when society turns its back and makes you invisible.”
“You did not get to where you are all by yourself. A successful person is a few bad things away from losing everything. If you are someone that made it, be proud of what you accomplished, but also realize everything and everyone that has helped you on your way to success.
Do not call a homeless or poor person lazy or worthless. You do not what has happened, and that could just as easily be you if you were put into a different circumstance.
Be grateful for what you have, and empathic for the situations others are in.”
~Lizabeth
Looks like the EDL are gluttons for punishment in Brighton, this time they will be right up for it, trying to salvage some ‘pride’ after getting their asses handed to them last time.
They obviously didn’t get the message. Everyone in the UK - get down there, get stuck in, and leave no doubt that Brighton is a Nazi free zone.
The People’s Record Memorial Day Dedication
Sergeant Shamar Thomas (photo source)
Sergeant Shamar Thomas is a veteran marine sergeant who stood up to a hoard of NYPD officers in militarized gear that were preparing to assault protesters at Occupy Wall Street. His heroic stand caused the officers to back-down and retreat and immediately became one of the most memorable moments of the Occupy Wall Street protest. This Memorial Day, we salute him! Here’s the video of his face-off with NYPD.

Hell on earth?
Norilsk, Russia
The northernmost city in the world with over 100,000 residents, it was founded about a hundred years ago as a Gulag slave labor camp. Norilsk houses the world’s largest smelting complex and due to a lack of regulation the pollution has brought the life expectancy to a whopping 40 years. Not only that, the average temperature is -10 Celsius and there is not a single living tree with 30 miles of the city.
Day 100 of the Montreal student strike
Estimates are upwards of 500,000 in the streets right now.
turns out mainly to consist of white, middle class 15 and 16 year olds who go to school in a massively rich area of Liverpool and hang round with trendy, hipster middle class people in trendy, expensive but shabby vegan cafes.
ok well…
“When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won’t do to get it, or what he doesn’t believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn’t believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire … or preserve his freedom.” ~Malcolm X

They can sense who the real bad guys are. Either that, or that cop had a donut in his pocket. lmfao.
