OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, ARAB CAPITALS (PIC)— PIC correspondents reported on Friday that more than a million Arab people rallied on Friday in support of the Palestinian cause in Palestine and a number of Arab countries.

Our correspondents reported that the largest such rally was the one held at the Tahrir Square in the Egyptian capital Cairo.

Participants in the Tahrir Square rally started gathering there before dawn and the rally culminated at the Friday prayers in the afternoon. Participants called for opening the Rafah crossing, and called on the Palestinian resistance not give up armed resistance. They called for Egyptian national unity and not to fall in the trap of those who are trying to sow discord between the Muslims and the Christians.

Similarly, huge demonstrations took place in Lebanon and Jordan to mark the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe) in 1948 when Israel was created for immigrants from Europe who uprooted the indigenous Palestinians from their land, committed around 70 massacres and destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages in the process.

In the West Bank, the IOF was on high alert and carried out numerous arrests to try and prevent any rallies marking the 63rd anniversary of the Nakba.

In occupied Jerusalem, IOF troops took stern measures to prevent large numbers from reaching the Aqsa Mosque by preventing Palestinian people under the age of 45 years from passing through roadblocks on their way to the Aqsa Mosque.

The Israeli occupation premier, Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered that all possible measures should be taken to prevent the marking of the anniversary by Palestinians.

Meanwhile, Palestinians in 1948-occupied Palestine, marked the Nakba anniversary at the same time the Israelis marked what they call “independence”. Activities marking the anniversary will continue.

Marches towards the borders of occupied Palestine will take place on Sunday prompting fears of the occupation government that matters can get out of control.

The Israeli occupation asked the PA and its president Mahmoud Abbas to control the Nakba marches that Palestinians intend to hold.

The 63rd anniversary of the Nakba came at a time in which great changes are taking place in the Arab world rekindling hope for Palestinian refugees that their return to the homes they were thrown out of is getting closer.

Support my activist blog I plan on running with the help of people from all over the world. It wont be really my blog, but more for everyone, the public. It will start as a simple activist blog, and move out into the streets once it grows. I already have the support of many people from places like Australia, UK, NY, Cali, and many more. The basic focus of the “We Speak for Earth” group will be to firstly inform the public of dire and pressing matters that need to be acknowledged but aren’t, it will give a logical and science based look into alternatives for a better society, laws, policies, environment etc.

It will inform many of the injustices and downright nonsensical ideals the greater portion of our Countries undergo. Everyone is unimpressed with the work our governments have done, hence the revolutions that started in Egypt for the same reasons of lack of presentation within the political arenas, everyone is tired of paying more and getting less, everyone is tired of taxes that go into the wrong places, everyone is tired of the government choosing companies rather than life itself when it comes to decisions. So it’s time everyone stopped being quiet, and spoke out, acted against and hopefully help end the war on life these money hungry leaders have waged on the public and their freedom as well as the freedoms of all living things within Earth. We’re all interconnected, it’s about time we stopped ignoring this. Having a few freedoms one area while another is oppressed is no freedom at all, but rather, an illusion. ‘We Speak for Earth’ aims to remove these illusions and show guidelines to help start real change.

Women are paid less than men, even when they have the same qualifications and work the same hours. Women who work full time earn only 77 percent of what men make—a 22 percent gap in average annual wages. Discrimination, not lack of training or education, is largely the cause of the wage gap. Even with the same qualifications, women earn less than men. In 2007, full time, year round female workers aged 25 to 32 with a bachelor’s degree were paid 14 percent less than men.

Women are segregated into low paying occupations, and occupations dominated by women are low paid. Women are tracked into “pink-collar” jobs such as teaching, child care, nursing, cleaning, and waitressing, which typically pay less than jobs in industries that are male-dominated.In 2007, nearly half—43 percent—of the 29.6 million employed women in the United States were clustered in just 20 occupational categories, of which the average annual median earnings were $27,383.[1]

Women spend more time providing unpaid caregiving than men. Women are more likely than men to care for children and elderly or disabled family members. One study found that 69 percent of unpaid caregivers to older adults in the home are women. Because combining unpaid caregiving with paid work can be challenging, women are more likely to work part time or take time out of the workforce to care for family. Twenty-three percent of mothers are out of the workforce compared to just 1 percent of fathers.

Women are more likely to bear the costs of raising children. When parents are not living together, women are more likely to take on the economic costs of raising children. Eight in ten custodial parents are women, and custodial mothers are twice as likely to be poor as custodial fathers.

Pregnancy affects women’s work and educational opportunities more than men’s. The economic costs associated with pregnancy are more significant for women than for men. Unplanned and mistimed pregnancies in particular can result in the termination of education and keep women from getting and sustaining solid employment.

Domestic and sexual violence can push women into a cycle of poverty. Experiencing domestic or sexual violence can lead to job loss, poor health, and homelessness. It is estimated that victims of intimate partner violence collectively lose almost 8 million days of paid work each year because of the violence perpetrated against them by current or former husbands, boyfriends, or dates. Half of the cities surveyed by the U.S. Conference of Mayors identified domestic violence as a primary cause of homelessness.

 Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh.

N.H. Republicans introduce bill that will block college students from voting.

New Hampshire’s new Republican state House speaker is pretty clear about what he thinks of college kids and how they vote. They’re “foolish,” Speaker William O’Brien said in a recent speech to a tea party group.

“Voting as a liberal. That’s what kids do,” he added, his comments taped by a state Democratic Party staffer and posted on YouTube. Students lack “life experience,” and “they just vote their feelings.”

New Hampshire House Republicans are pushing for new laws that would prohibit many college students from voting in the state - and effectively keep some from voting at all.

The picture emerging nationally is crystal clear:

1. Kill unions to cut off a significant source of funding for the Democratic party

2. Block demographics known for voting Democratic from voting

Both of these strategies are very obviously designed to further Republicans’ goal of creating a one-party state.

Now will you fight for your rights?

Signal boost. This is vile. Thanks for letting me know about this, it got lost on my dash. 

Vile does not even begin to cover this. So, if I do not accept your ideologies, I should be deprived of my vote? So much for “We the People.” Only 46 years after the Voting Rights Act and 40 years after the Twenty-sixth Amendment, absolutely no one in government should be introducing a bill to limit a group of people’s voting rights. Apparently Republicans seem to think we can throw democracy out the window whenever it fits their despicable agenda.

What…the….fuck….

Soooo, basically they don’t want the ones who are most aware of current worldly problems to vote.. These states get dumber as the world around us grows up.
