I was spied on by the government for political activity and it changed my ability to take "risks" as an activists. I highly recommend getting educated about the issue of privacy, this is a good opportunity:

Just Between You and Me -- and the NSA?
A Town Hall Meeting on Domestic Spying, NSA Surveillance and the Rule of Law

Get the word out about this important event! Click here to download the flyer! (PDF)

In 2001, President Bush issued a secret executive order authorizing warrantless electronic surveillance of people in the United States. In May 2006, the nation learned that the National Security Agency has been building a massive database of Americans' phone records.

A federal judge has already ruled the warrantless wiretapping program unconstitutional. The Bush Administration claims that it has the inherent authority to continue it. Join the New York Civil Liberties Union and other co-sponsoring organizations for a free town hall meeting to discuss warrantless wiretapping and the threat it poses to civil liberties. Learn how you can take action to stop unconstitutional NSA spying and protect your rights to privacy and freedom of speech.

Say NO!! Nationwide Protests Today
TIME FOR A SURGE OF OPPOSITION TO BUSH'S WAR ESCALATION

Hard to believe, but in a primetime televised speech on Wednesday evening, President Bush announced his plans to send more troops into Iraq. We don't know for sure, but he could be planning to send at least 20,000 more troops, and the numbers could be even higher. Whatever the numbers are, the Bush administration is once again moving in the wrong direction. In November the voters elected a new Congress with a clear mandate: End this war! The people of this country want the war to end and we do NOT want more troops sent to Iraq. We need to act quickly and in large numbers to oppose this escalation. United for Peace and Justice has joined an effort initiated by Win Without War and True Majority to encourage as many local actions in communities all around the country this Thursday, the day after Bush announces his plans. We need to be visible and vocal. Our message must be heard by the White House and by the Congress. NO more troops, end this war now!

Will, I'm happy that your picture is in The Times, in all your tattoed glory, but what I want to know is where are all the ladies?!

California sun, warmer than NYC could ever be on Jan. 1st. My skin pricks up to the shower of photons and a chill works its way up my spine. How fortunate, to be the first awake in this New Year. We were purified by fire--our bonds of comradery a delicate daisy chain. The ethics of communal cooking could come in handy one of these days when dishes need doing.
