Civil rights protesters storm Gallery Place movie theater

Submitted by Luke on Fri, 12/12/2014 - 22:05

On the 12th of December, civil rights protesters assmebled in Chinatown and after the usual street shutdowns slipped around to the back entrance of the Regan Cinemas on 6th st and stormed inside. In addition to educating moviegoers about police murder and brutality, there was another reason for going there: the movie Exodus, playing there, is set in the Middle East and northern Africa yet people with dark skin are shown only as servants and slaves.

On the 11th of December, I found roads in Rock Creek Park barricaded in preparation for "Deer Removal" or the shooting of deer by USDA "wildlife Services" at about 6:30PM. By 10:30 PM, after a flury of phone calls in an effort to organize a hasty street protest, all the barricades were gone and the killers nowhere to be found.

Net neutrality activists disrupt FCC meeting with banner behind podium

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 12/11/2014 - 14:07

On the 11th of December, net neutrality activists once again disrupted a meeting of the FCC, this time unfurling a banner BEHIND the speaker's podium while more activists held signs from the audience seats. Many activists were escorted out after speaking up to demand that FCC Chair Tom Wheeler quit playing for his old Cable TV bosses and reclassify Internet service as a common carrier.
