• NY Firefighters Release Video Telling the Truth about “America’s Mayor”: Rudy Giuliani

  In this thirteen minute documentary produced by The International Association of Fire Fighters, fire fighters, fire officers and family members give dramatic testimony about Giuliani’s leadership failures — before, during, and after 9/11. Their dramatic stories tell how Giuliani failed to provide the FDNY with radios that worked, which led to the deaths of 121 fire fighters inside the World Trade Center’s North Tower because they were unable to hear orders to evacuate.

• Royalty fee ‘to damage net radio’

  Listen to Last.fm and XM online while you still can.

  First they came for internet radio, and I did not speak up because I didn’t listen to net radio. Then they attacked internet neutrality, and I didn’t speak up because I had no clue what that meant. Then they came for the entire internet, and I did not speak up because surely they can’t take that away! Then— we were totally f—ked.

• Fans of the police state, you will love this one:

  Some cops start beating a guy that ran out on the field at a soccer game and the crowd actually stand ups against it and attacks the police! Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!
