New documents reveal TransCanada is secretly instructing police how to handle Keystone XL protesters, and urging terrorism prosecutions for non-violent activists.
Please REBLOG if you stand with the pipeline protesters!

I had already been infected with tick-borne diseases for a decade.

Message from Leslie Feinberg:
I want to be the one to tell you that I am failing to thrive very rapidly,
and a local hospice expert is working to set up care in our home.
In the meantime, messages of personal support are welcome,
but I can’t respond. I can’t do interviews or videos.
Please no commercial inquiries of any kind.
Minnie Bruce and I welcome your messages of support at: minniebrucepratt@yahoo.com
Please do not send these messages to our other e-mail accounts!
And—please do not ask for details or send medical advice.
I suffered with tick-borne diseases for 35 years without treatment. In the five plus years since I have been in treatment, I have been diagnosed with late-stage Lyme along with serious coinfections including Babesiosis, Protomyxzoa Rheumatica, and Bartonella. My 20-year pattern of periodic immuno-suppression has become chronic for quite some time.
My body is failing so fast that I can’t undergo more diagnostic and treatment attempts. It is difficult for me to swallow, walk, breathe, talk and write. This sharp decline, evidenced in labs and in life, has forced me to set up home hospice care quickly.
My goal is to survive hospice. But I set out to do so with this reminder: illnesses and deaths are not personal failings.
Nor is hospice a surrender.
While it might not be realistic or possible, I have a fierce determination to get out in the streets with you all at the Central New York Pride March this Saturday, June 15.
I will continue to work in hospice—if not now, when?—to finish the Stone Butch Blues 20th anniversary author’s edition. {For updates on this free online-read/at cost print-on-demand, www.tumblr.com/blog/leslie-feinberg}
I will continue to work on the slideshow honoring CeCe McDonald. Titled “This is what solidarity looks like,” the slideshow is part of a multi-media dedication of Stone Butch Blues to CeCe. The slide show demonstrates the breadth of the demand to “Free CeCe!” {supportcece.wordpress.com}
The deadline for “Free CeCe!” photo submissions is July 1, 2013.
Send solidarity photos/art, permission form, and photo information including date/location/photographer to: transgenderwarrior@gmail.com

A small group of oligarchs have determined that destroying the earth is profitable for their immediate gain. The government gives the green light to the oil industry to fill our arteries with lard. Oil spills are turning our communities, water, forests and lands into uninhabitable dead zones, global warming disasters are escalating to biblical proportions—but no tornado is big enough, no hurricane is threatening enough, no drought is deadly enough to deter business as usual for those profiting from pollution.

don’t tell people not to be aggressive to their oppressors when even pointing out facts is seen as aggressive.

Israel is rounding up and deporting Africans and will soon be putting tens of thousands of them in detention camps.
Meanwhile, they invited 350 Jewish north American immigrants to the country, 127 of whom will be serving in the Israeli army.
The immigrants arrived today and were greeted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself at a special ceremony, a stark contrast to Israel’s treatment of Africans. The Zionists were welcomed with open arms, while Knesset Members Miri Regev and Danny Danon called Africans “a cancer in our body” and “infiltrators”.
More than 4,800 American, Canadian and British Jews have or will be making aliyah (“ascent”) this year; immigration to the Land of Israel — one of the basic principles of the Zionist ideology.
