Por um mundo sem catracas e sem violência machista!
Estamos aqui hoje para falar de um assunto que tem nos afetado muito nesses meses de luta contra o aumento: a presença de um agressor de mulheres no centro das mobilizações.
Há cerca de 6 meses um dos militantes do movimento passe livre de São Paulo ameaçou de morte, perseguiu, constrangeu, agrediu verbalmente, insultou e limitou o espaço físico de uma companheira de movimentos sociais autônomos.
Fazemos essa denúncia porque esse agressor continua frequentando os mesmos espaços políticos como se não houvesse acontecido nada ou como se aquilo que aconteceu não tivesse relevância política nenhuma. Que as agressões cometidas contra as mulheres sejam vistas como algo de pouca importância infelizmente não nos surpreende.

The Paper
1. The violence comes in waves of shock, panic and terror. As the waves crash, outrage emerges as the universal emotional condition: so commonplace as to become another affliction like an obsession with the weather. People are outraged about what is being cut and from whom. Others are outraged about occupations and property damage. With baton charges and things thrown from roofs. People are outraged about the complicity of the TUC, the duplicity of the Liberal Democrats and the so-called self-interest of students and public sector workers.
2. Outrage flies in all directions, creating a numb sense of brutality. There are two faces to this brutality. It is productive of both our ability to solve the twin crisis of profitability and governance and to their policing of our labouring bodies.
3. But outrage gives us no special insight: it is mere reaction. So it must be put to one side. We need to see why our struggles, actions and protests have invited the intensity of violence that they did. We must look to what the theatre of baton charges, horse charges and late night imprisonment meant.
4. The police are not merely an agent of repression. The idea of the police evolved from a set of practices……….

GoDaddy CEO Hunts and Kills Elephant, Posts Video Online – We Offer 3 Non-Violent Alternatives : TreeHugge
The CEO of GoDaddy, Bob Parsons, filmed himself killing an elephant in Zimbabwe. As if that weren’t bad enough, he actually states that shooting it is rewarding. Yes. Rewarding. In fact he states, “Of everything I do, this is the most rewarding.” Why? Because the elephant is a so-called “problem elephant” or one that has had conflicts with farmers. Well, guess what, Bob, there are alternatives for dealing with elephants when they clash with farmers other than shooting them dead. Here are three far
