You’ve got a friend…

Drone Man “tagged” you in a note

He wants you to get out the vote

Like tubes down a “detainee” throat

You’ve got a friend…

by Raymond Nat Turner

Hawkishly watching your “activity log”

Like shadows of the groundhog

Or barks of a German Police dog

Eying your “posts” and “news feed”

Ogling ads and messages you read

Protecting freedoms: wars for greed

Drone Man wants to be your “friend”

“Like” the trillions his wars spend

“Like” his wars until they end…

“Comment” after clicking “like”

“Post” your dislikes and your “likes”

“Like” his new signature strikes!

Drone Man “tagged” you in a note

He wants you to get out the vote

Like tubes down a “detainee” throat

Drone Man asks, “What’s on your mind?”

To put you in his Gitmo bind—

He’ll say, “Update your status”

As he keeps comin’ at us

With the STATE APPARATUS!

Trailer for "No Doubt: The Murder(s) of Oscar Grant" from Ida B. Wells Institute on Vimeo.
by Thandisizwe Chimurenga
Oscar Grant was murdered by a transit cop on a Bay Area subway platform before hundreds of witnesses. To enable his killer to go free, he had to be murdered again and again in the media and the courts. This book, coming in January, tells the story of these multiple murders.

Teach For America Rap: A Scab is a Scab is a Scab

What do you call cheap "replacement workers" summoned by management? From the HBO series "Treme".

Actor, rapper & human rights activist Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def graphically demonstrates a little of what Uncle Sam's untried, un-accused, unsentenced but permanently incarcerated prisoners at Guantanamo Bay & elsewhere undergo every day... not for the faint of heart. From the Guardian, where you can find much more real journalistic coverage of the NSA and more.

NSA whistleblower Ed Snowden in his own words, explains who he is, why he chose the truth & exile. Interview by the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald in Hong Kong.

Was the US and NATO's Libyan intervention a humanitarian campaign to protect Libyans against Muammar Gaddafi’s threats of mass violence and genocide, or was it a cynically “rehearsed military expedition” to force regime change and wield Western authority in the region? Far from being an action to save lives, NATO’s “indiscriminate” bombing of civilian targets and cities such as Sirte (Gaddafi’s birthplace) resulted in genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and civil war..

The year that saw an African American run for the presidency as a viable contender also witnessed a truly remarkable silence. While millions of words written about the political ascent of one black man, there was virtually nothing about the descent of black leadership into well-nigh total ineffectiveness. Barack Obama’s personal itinerary was mapped in the minutest detail. The larger itinerary of African Americans was mostly ignored.
