First the honey bee population crashed. Then it was the bats, dying by the millions in their caves during the winter hibernation, of a strange white fungal infection. Now marine mammals, including walruses and ringed seals, are turning up dying on the beaches of Alaska and the far north. Unidentified skin lesions and sores are [...]

Occupy Wall Street: Finally, the New York Times Gets It!! Now, how about Obama?
Protesters Against Wall Street – NYTimes.com. This is a big victory for the Occupy Wall Street movement. To move the staid NY Times from complete indifference to disdainful incomprehension to vigorous approval in the space of just three weeks is truly remarkable! Haven’t I been saying that the young people today are the sleeping giant [...]

SlutWalk, Occupy Wall Street and other sparks of resistance: let’s fan the flames!
Finally this morning The NYTimes.com is paying some attention to the Occupy Wall Street protests. But the tone is still highbrow and dismissive–Charles Blow, who really should know better, labels the protesters “hippies and hipsters” and the movement overall as “a spark set down on wet grass,” with “no where to go.” He also finds [...]

Don’t Pepper-Spray Our Dreams
New York Times reporter Ginia Bellafante has totally missed the mark in her coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Where I see a vibrant grassroots movement unfolding organically, she sees a disorganized group, marred by a “lack of cohesion” and an “intellectual vaccuum.” Where I see a clever use of street theater to get [...]

Occupy Wall Street, Day 10: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world
One of Wangari Maathai’s most powerful political actions was when she and a group of women occupied Uhuru (Freedom) Park in downtown Nairobi, to protest government plans to turn the tree-lined public park into a giant private office complex. At first it was just twenty women with hand-painted signs, sitting down together in the center [...]

Songs of Freedom in New York
I can hardly bear to watch this video, but I feel compelled to share it. You need to know what is being done in your name. The right to peaceful protest? The right to dissent? Right. Meanwhile, up in another part of New York, I was at a conference this weekend celebrating “40 Years of [...]

Activist strategies for the times we live in: Flying under the radar
Josh Haner/The New York Times) Some good old-fashioned protesting went on in lower Manhattan today, with folks coming out to tell the Wall Street tycoons and corporate elite that they do not rule unopposed. Protests like these are a good thing, like online petitions and letters to Congressmen or to the editor. But they’d have [...]
