The Movement of Mortgage Victims is one of Spain’s strongest movements. Carlos Delclós talks to PAH organizer Elvi Mármol about the key to their success.
The story of Spain’s economic, social and political crisis is one about property, need and value. And at the heart of that story lies a question that is familiar to the point of cliché: what makes a house a home? Continue reading “Victims no longer: Spain’s anti-eviction movement”

Are you going to participate once again in the doomsday consumer fest that Christmas has become … or are you going to try do things differently this year?
Buy Nothing Christmas is the surest way to leave zero-footprint on the planet, but the truth is not everyone is ready to go cold turkey from gift giving. But each of us can still make a radical move by upholding this single vow …. repeat the following out loud in front of a witness, “I shall not visit a single mall or box store this Christmas. I hereby swear-off Amazon and all the other online mega stores! I pledge to go indie and local or bust!”
Avoiding the nerve centers of corpo-capitalism and going local and indie with every gift you buy will magically change your mood and inject some authentic spirit into your gift hunting.
And while you’re in the tone-shifting mood, why not slip a ten-dollar bill into the hands of the next homeless person you encounter!
Then give $100 to your favorite NGO.
Go deep … give till it hurts … (just not to a megacrop). That impulse to give beyond the comfort zone is where the real magic of the holidays lives.
Kanpai, prosit, krisimesi emnandi, l’chayim, Joyeux Noël!
Here’s to a corpo-free holiday this year!

The fourth wave of feminism seems to be A Thing now and it’s all about the technology.
The campaign for women’s liberation never went away, but this year a new swell built up and broke through. Since the early summer, I’ve been talking to feminist activists and writers for a short book, All The Rebel Women, and as I tried to keep up with the protests, marches and talks, my diary became a mess of clashing dates.

LaTele.cat nos retrata en este video resumen del pasado encuentro. Gracias a tod@s por vuestras aportaciones. Desde Rizoma, Tierra y Libertad decimos…
Sabes qué?
A nosotros como a ti el sistema nos ha intentado convencer de que no hay otro modo de vivir que no pase por el trabajo asalariado, el consumo y la obediencia de la ley mientras somos espectadores pasivos de la destrucción de la tierra. ¡Y una mierda!
No lo han conseguido. Por eso nos hemos puesto a recuperar el control de nuestras vidas y para hacerlo estamos regresando a la tierra creando alternativas colectivas. Y os decimos…

THEY SHALL NOT PASS.. Coordination 25S..Fascism wants to GAG the People.. Madrid will be the TOMB of Fascism!!At least 18 people have been hurt in clashes outside the Spanish Parliament in Madrid, as hundreds of protesters gathered on Saturday to demonstrate against newly proposed anti-protest legislation.

In order to provide moral uplift, whenever he caught my brother and me watching Saturday morning cartoons after 10 o’clock, my father would turn off the TV and tell us both a story.
He was an 18-year-old private serving in the U.S. Marine Corps at the tail end of the Korean War. “Korean kids your age were lazy and filthy,” he told us. “I used to watch them digging in garbage cans for food. They didn’t want to work.” He would then hand my brother a mop, me a bottle of Windex, and assign us both chores around the house.
At night, sometimes, when he was drunk, he would tell a more disturbing story. Continue reading “Hunger Games reviews: Catching Fire to Capitalism”
