In anniversaries this week, the 10 year anniversary of the overturning of the Communications decency Act (They saved the Internet's soul), and, the 38th anniversary of the Orangeburg (SC) Massacre (Orangeburg pain continues). In ongoing atrocities, the fight to save Steve Jubby continues ('The crimes of pot justice' 'Who will murder Steve Kubby?).

And don't miss excellent commentaries on 'Googleocracy' (L. Neil Smith), unions ('Paradign Shift'), domestic spying {'On domestic spying, we the people are to blame') and the war {'It's your war -- you go fight it!' and 'Numbers') and, some wonderful 'Patriotic Posters' from the folks at Whitehouse.org!

Two new actions this week, a Petition to free Cory Maye, and David Codrea launches the 'The Million Moon March'.
