Abortion Rights Freedom Ride 2014: GROUND ZERO TEXAS
Abortion rights—and the lives and futures of women—are in a state of emergency. Nowhere is this more concentrated than in Texas.
Mass incarceration is immoral, unjust and illegitimate. Tweaks and reforms are not going to end this nightmare. Mass incarceration must end!
This system has no future for the youth, but the revolution DOES!
This call appears on the Stop Mass Incarceration Network website:
WE SAY NO MORE!
A Call for a Month of Resistance to Mass Incarceration, Police Terror, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation!
Now with an initial list of signatories.

On May 20, after cops in Salinas, California, shot and killed 44-year-old Carlos Mejia in cold blood, hundreds of people filled the streets in defiant protest.
Note to readers:
In light of the horrific and outrageous massacre of women and men at the University of California, Santa Barbara by a male student—who declared he was taking vengeance on women—we encourage readers to read an insightful and important commentary at revcom.us, “Verdict in the Steubenville Rape Case: There is some justice—but there's no cause for joy—in the Steubenville verdicts.” That article, written in 2013, identifies and speaks to profound questions about the nature of U.S. society and the oppression of women posed by incidents like this.
The U.S. Hand Behind the Anti-Government Protests in Venezuela
For months now, there have been waves of anti-government protests in Venezuela. Now, there are signs that the U.S. is stepping up its designs in Venezuela, demanding that the Venezuelan government meet the demands of these reactionary protests that the U.S. itself has encouraged and fanned.

June 4, 2014
Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor whose leaks exposed the U.S. government's massive spying on people here and around the world, recently did an interview on prime-time network TV—and he is under new and intensified attacks from the highest levels of the U.S. government. In light of this, we are reposting these points of orientation that originally appeared shortly after the revelations based on Snowden's leaks first came out. Watch for further coverage at revcom.us.
