No Pride in War - picketing the military recruitment station monica 2006-06-17 8:52 PM

On June 17, as Pittsburgh's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) communities gathered downtown to celebrate the anniversary of the Stonewall riots against heterosexist police, POG returned to the Oakland recruiting station to mark the occasion by confronting another homophobic institution – the United States military – with the theme, “No Pride in War.” Queer members (and allies) of POG felt it was also important to call into question the mainstream gay rights movement's narrow, single-issue approach to challenging the military's discriminatory employment policy. Audre Lorde said, "Your silence will not protect you," and so about 20 people gathered outside the station to say, “Ban the Military! Not Lesbians and Gays!” During the event, a banner was dropped from the roof of a building facing the windows of the recruiting station. (image/jpeg)

Killing season in the Philippines Herbert Docena 2006-06-16 9:00 PM

The escalating repression taking place now in the Philippines is no coincidence. Twenty years since the end of the dictatorship and three "people's power" uprisings later, Philippine society is hugely polarized. If the recent killing spree signifies anything, it's that the growing coercion and the abandonment of democratic rights portend the fraying of the post-1986 political order, when the dictator Marcos was unceremoniously thrown from power and democracy restored. What will replace those democratic hopes, more than at any time in recent years, is a point of bitter political contention. (image/gif)

Protesting Haditha Massacre and Other Atrocities Nina van Zandt 2006-06-08 3:55 PM

Pittsburgh anti-war protesters express anger over Haditha and ongoing atrocities. In response to the recent news of atrocities in Iraq 60 people gathered in Shadyside for a short rally and march. Participants called for an end to the Iraq war and expressed revulsion at news of recent atrocities. The march stopped traffic and took over Walnut Street in Shadyside. Protesters moved street signs and a dumpster into the road, smashed at least one window, and threw rocks at corporate stores. Ten police cars, an animal control van, and two unmarked cars showed up and forced the march onto the sidewalk. The march proceeded for another hour through Shadyside and Bloomfield.

Filipino Social Democrats assure extreme leftist BAYAN solons case agains them very strong PDSP 2006-04-13 11:39 PM

Jesuit priest Fr. Romeo J. Intengan, one of the founding leaders of the Partido Demokratiko-Sosyalista ng Pilipinas (PDSP) and author of the Ateneo study asserting that party-list lawmakers belonging to the extreme left channeled millions of pork barrel funds to communist rebels, slammed anew the party-list solons. “The details that BAYAN MUNA party-list Rep. Satur Ocampo and his colleagues (Rafael Mariano, and Teodoro Casiño of BAYAN MUNA; Liza Maza of GABRIELA; Joel Virador Crispin Beltran of ANAKPAWIS) want, regarding the diversion of their pork barrel funds to abet communist insurgency, are now part of the evidence in the rebellion charges being filed by government against them,” Intengan said.
