Do you own an iPhone? Then you can hold the NYPD accountable for violating people’s rights.

Today, the NYCLU released an iPhone version of Stop and Frisk Watch – our smart-phone app that allows bystanders to document stop-and-frisk encounters and alert community members when a street stop is in progress.

You have a First Amendment right to record police activity in public. Doing so empowers you to expose abusive policing and protect your neighbors.

Stop and Frisk Watch, which is free and already available for Android phones, has three primary functions: Continue reading “Stop and Frisk Watch Now Available on iPhones”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

A year and a half ago, when the hacker group Anonymous launched its anti-Bernanke, anti-Fed campaign dubbed Operation Empire State Rebellion (or OpESR), we stated, rhetorically and jokingly, that “perhaps in the aftermath of the IMF “very major breach” by anonymous hackers, it is really time to make sure all external access points to FedWire and FedLine are truly safe and sound. It will be very sad if it is uncovered that this source of externally accessible portal to hundreds of billions in emergency Fed funding has been somehow compromised. Just imagine the loss of confidence in the system… Why, a global distributed attack would really stretch the Fed’s 1,200-strong police force quite thin.” It appears that either FedWire or FedLine may not have been “truly safe and sound” after all.

Beginning this fall, incoming freshman at New York University will no longer have the luxury of choosing their roommates.

Beginning in the 2013-14 school year, rather than giving students the option of rooming with their high school friends or others of their choosing, the university will instead pair roommates together in an effort create a “global and inclusive campus community,” the NYU Local student blog reported. Continue reading “No More Choosing Roommates For NYU Freshmen”

A little-discussed executive order from President Obama giving foreign cops new police powers in the United States by exempting them from such drudgery as compliance with the Freedom of Information Act is raising alarm among commentators who say INTERPOL already had most of the same privileges as diplomats.

At David Horowitz’s Newsreal, Michael van der Galien said the issue is Obama’s expansion of President Ronald Reagan’s order from 1983 that originally granted those diplomatic privileges. Continue reading “Obama Gives Foreign Cops New Police Powers in U.S.”

Common Dreams – by Jim Hightower

Four years ago, Michelle Obama picked up a shovel and made a powerful symbolic statement about America’s food and farm future: She turned a patch of White House lawn into a working organic garden.

That was a great move, earning kudos from just about everyone this side of Monsanto and the pesticide lobby. But now, as she begins another four years in the people’s mansion, the first lady is probably asking herself: “How can I top that? What can I do this time around to plant a crop of common sense in our country’s political soil that will link America’s farmers, consumers, environment and grassroots economy into one big harvest of common good?” Continue reading “High Time for Hemp – A Common Sense Crop for America’s Common Good”

Gun Owners of America

Reports out of Capitol Hill reveal that just-reelected turncoat West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is about to stick a big knife in the back of American gun owners.  And to make matters worse, he’s lying about what he’s doing.

Both Manchin and House anti-gun crazy Carolyn McCarthy are claiming to be “working with NRA” to enact gun bans and national gun registries.  NRA says flatly that Manchin is lying, and we believe he is. (The Hill, 1/24/13) Continue reading “Oppose Joe Manchin’s Veterans Gun Ban and National Gun Registry”

LOS ANGELES — Bruce Willis says he’s against new gun control laws that could infringe on Second Amendment rights. The “Die Hard” star also dismisses any link between Hollywood shootouts and real-life gun violence.

“I think that you can’t start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it’s all going to become undone,” Willis told The Associated Press in a recent interview while promoting his latest film, “A Good Day To Die Hard.” “If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn’t they take all your rights away from you?” Continue reading “Bruce Willis: Gun Control Laws Could Lead To Government Taking Away More Rights”
