"A protest group called “Occupy Denver” that used to protest in downtown Denver and in public areas has now reverted to a different tactic — descending on a quiet Denver neighborhood every Sunday afternoon and protesting outside the private home of a Denver business leader whose organization supported Denver’s urban camping ban"
Apparently The Denver Post Editorial Board thinks it is okay to harass and arrest the propertyless for sleeping, but rent-seeking CEOs should be left alone. Good thing The Denver Post is keeping an eye on the situation, otherwise who would lookout for the interests of the rich and powerful?
(I read revision 590841297: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reactions_to_Occupy_Wall_Street&oldid=590841297)
"The ban makes it illegal to camp on public and private property in Denver. The City Council voted 9-4 to pass the ban in 2012."
"The barbarity of US immigration and deportation policy has led to the reemergence of mass border crossings."
"This shift toward more radical actions points to the ticking time bomb that is our deportation machine. Around six hundred people get deported to Tijuana every day, a great number of them ending up on the streets, with nowhere to go, often without a peso in their pockets and with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Under such a barbaric immigration and deportation regime, it should be little wonder that mass migrant actions are making a comeback."
This is a long video, but I thought it gave a good idea of how Trotskyists (well, at least this one) relate to anarchism.
"A controversial ordinance banning urban camping may increase vulnerability to trafficking in the state of Colorado. The ban was passed by the Denver City Council in May 2012 and essentially criminalizes homeless individuals sleeping on the streets."
This kid's one-man protest ended up stopping the bison slaughter for at least the rest of the year.
"Global Uprisings is an independent news site and video series dedicated to showing responses to the economic crisis from around the world."
Spooner's "The Unconstitutionality of Slavery" was published in 1845:
This right of a man “to keep and bear arms,” is a right palpably inconsistent with the idea of his being a slave. Yet the right is secured as effectually to those whom the States presume to call slaves, as to any whom the States condescend to acknowledge free.
Under this provision any man has a right either to give or sell arms to those persons whom the States call slaves; and there is no constitutional power, in either the national or State governments, that can punish him for so doing; or that can take those arms from the slaves; or that can make it criminal for the slaves to use them, if, from the inefficiency of the laws, it should become necessary for them to do so, in defence of their own lives or liberties; for this constitutional right to keep arms implies the constitutional right to use them, if need be, for the defence of one’s liberty or life.
'With ticket prices so high and labor costs rivaling those of a Cambodian sweatshop, how much money does SXSX Inc. actually make? “As a privately held company, SXSW doesn’t release any financial information,” said spokesperson Elizabeth Derczo when I called her up.'

The weblog of Jeremy Weiland. I like his writing.
A popular introduction to anarchism in the Guardian's Comment is Free (from 2011). I can't help but think the subtext of these sorts of articles is always "Anarchism: It might not be quite as stupid as you first thought it was."
It would seem Qatar is being built by slaves. Except obtaining slaves isn't gratis and they don't make their own travel arrangements, so owners actually have to worry about keeping them alive.

Al Jazeera's The Stream did an episode on "the anarchist movement"! I've read Crispin's book. It was surprisingly compelling for a book on political philosophy. It was so good I will probably read it again. I've also read the first third of Cindy's book. I remember it being surprisingly boring for a book about anarchism. I may have to give it another try.

This website is dedicated to making the case for open borders. The term “open borders” is used to describe a world where there is a strong presumption in favor of allowing people to migrate and where this presumption can be overridden or curtailed only under exceptional circumstances.
