> We the People won't fight for our rights if we accept the story that it is our own fault that that we are poor or an illness/accident away from being poor. No man, woman or (especially) child deserves to die or go hungry because we are poor. We need to recognize that this story is false and designed to manipulate the people into being self-hating and obedient or divided and conquered. The narrative is delivered through mass media by those very invested in and profiting from the current corrupt, unjust financial-political system. We must not start believing this story and blaming and hating ourselves. We need to raise our voices to warn our friends and neighbors. And please remember that we all lose if we become divided from and hateful towards our neighbors who suffer from similar wants but have been persuaded to subscribe to this story. Your neighbors are not your enemies. The enemy is this system and the false story that justifies and defends it. The best way to reach our neighbors is through persistence and respect. Many defenders of the system (who are clearly not profiting from it) are like victims of abusive relationships. They live in fear of angering the abuser and making things worse. Their minds become conditioned to focus on avoiding punishment and abuse and there is little room for thinking that the abuse could end altogether. Their self-esteem is often so diminished that they start believing that they deserve the abuse or are incapable of stopping it. Worst of all, they can not even imagine freedom. The reality is that our current financial-political system is an abusive relationship and lies and fears are perpetuated to convince us to stay in it. The system cannot be sustained if we rise together with confidence in our inherent worth, knowledge of our power as We the People, and love for each other. Despite the rabid divide and conquer tactics of the last 30 years, I still have faith in We the People. I'm asking you to have that faith as well. - @annabelpark

> BREAKING NEWS: Const. James Forcillo of Toronto police has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Sammy Yatim, the 18-year old shot on a streetcar last month. Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has charged a Toronto police officer with second degree murder in the streetcar shooting death of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim in late July. The SIU said an arrest warrant was issued for Toronto Police Officer Const. James Forcillo Monday morning. An arrangement was made through Forcillo’s lawyer, Peter Brauti, for the police officer to turn himself in to the custody of the SIU Tuesday morning before a court appearance at Old City Hall.. “The Director of the Special Investigations Unit, Ian Scott, has reasonable grounds to believe that a Toronto Police Service officer committed a criminal offence in relation to the shooting death of 18-year-old Sammy Adib Yatim in July of 2013,” the SIU said in a statement. While the Yatim family planned to make an official statement later Monday, Sammy Yatim’s sister tweeted her approval of the charge. “The SIU charged the cop with 2nd degree murder!!!
