Posted by onehundredflowers on April 8, 2012

International Women’s Day: La Compa Roxana
Posted by onehundredflowers on March 9, 2012
This was submitted to us by Natalio Perez.
La Compa Roxana, which means Comrade Roxana, is a beautiful song from the Salvadoran Revolution, performed here by Cutumay Camones on their album Llegó la Hora from 1988. Cutumay Camones was well known, along with Los Torogoces de Morazán (who also recorded a rendition of this song), as one of the most important musical groups representing the political line of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN).

Video: ¡Palante, Siempre Palante! The Young Lords

¡PALANTE, SIEMPRE PALANTE!
The Young Lords
by Iris Morales
In the midst of the African American liberation struggle, protests to end the Vietnam War and the women’s movement for equality, Puerto Rican and Latino/a communities fought for economic, racial and social justice. From Chicago streets to the barrios of New York City and other urban centers, the Young Lords emerged to demand decent living conditions and raised a militant voice for the empowerment of Puerto Ricans and other Latino/as in the United States and for the independence of Puerto Rico.
!Palante, Siempre Palante! The Young Lords documents the period from 1969 through the organization’s demise in 1976. The Young Lords represented another cycle of militancy, write Andres Torres and Jose Velasquez in The Puerto Rican Movement: Voices From the Diaspora, a collection of personal narratives from activists of the period.
Through on-camera interviews with former members, archival footage, photographs and music, the documentary surveys Puerto Rican history, the Young Lords’ political vision and actions, and the organization’s legacy.

Unknown ecosystem: The dark world of yeti crabs and volcanic vents
Posted by Mike E on January 7, 2012
Recently a set of volcanic vents were explored at the bottom of the ocean floor near Antartica. In such places, sunlight never penetrates, and there is no way of basis any ecosystem on photosynthesis. As has been seen elsewhere, these vents were the center of unique and very unfamiliar systems that are based on the chemical exploitation of subterranean chemical by bacteria. In this case the ocean floor was literally caked in thousands of bone-white yeti crabs who exploited the bacteria, surrounded by diverse other previously unknown species (including an albino octopus, sea anemones and more).
Just realizing how diverse life is, how tenacious it is under extreme conditions, and how primitive our own understandings still are… it just makes you happy to be alive and to be awake.

Uncensored imaginings
Posted by kasama on January 3, 2012
On New Years Eve, John Lennon’s song “Imagine” was mutilated before a vast global television audience.
Just before the ball dropped in Times Square in New York City, singer Cee Lo Green replaced Lennon’s line “and no religion, too” with the backward absurdity “and all religion is true.”
Many were infuriated — and understandably so.
As an aside, it is amusing to note that Cee Lo (formerly of the Goodie Mob) is best known for his last hit “Fuck you.”
In other words, Cee Lo’s ridiculous decision to uphold “all religions” against Lennon’s biting secular sentiments is revealing about just what and who is considered controversial and intolerable in our culture.
We have posted Imagine here on Kasama before…. but let’s start 2012 by honoring this beloved communist anthem again, without revisions.

UC Davis & the high moral ground 1: The whole world is watching
Posted by kasama on November 23, 2011
This is what it looks like when the deliberate, routinized acts of authorities concede the high moral ground to us. This is how a whole generation learns about who is listening to the people, and who coldly treats the people like cockroaches needing sprays from a can. Acts of power meant to assert and enforced the norm — now expose that norm to vast audiences (including internationally). This is what awakening looks like. This is what delegitimization emerges from. This is the platform of consciousness upon which a new revolutionary movement can be built.
One million views and climbing — at youtube. The video is viral, the mood is viral.

UC Davis & the high moral ground 2: The whole world is watching
Posted by kasama on November 23, 2011
In the aftermath, the students confront UC Davis Chancellor Katehi with a stunning silence. Everywhere the camera pans shows how many faces there were in the huge crowd — silent watching and indictment. In answer to “students as threat” and “occupations are unsafe” — they displayed their unity, their discipline, their utter distance from the authorities.
Here too the world is watching, here too the video has now reached a million views on youtube (and uncounted more in other venues).
Whatever lies the mainstream media whips up for those who still watch it, there is another answer captured in real time and shared through channels that are not yet controlled.

Interview with creator of Occupy Wall Street “bat-signal” projections during Brooklyn Bridge #N17 march
By Xeni Jardin
Earlier this evening, tens of thousands of Occupy Wall Street protesters marched throughout New York City, many making their way on to the Brooklyn Bridge, carrying LED candles and chanting. As Occupiers took the bridge in a seemingly endless sea of people, words in light appeared projected on the iconic Verizon Building nearby:
“99% / MIC CHECK! / LOOK AROUND / YOU ARE A PART / OF A GLOBAL UPRISING / WE ARE A CRY / FROM THE HEART / OF THE WORLD / WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE / ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE / HAPPY BIRTHDAY / #OCCUPY MOVEMENT / OCCUPY WALL STREET / list of cities, states and countries / OCCUPY EARTH / WE ARE WINNING / IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE BEGINNING / DO NOT BE AFRAID / LOVE.”
A few hours later I spoke with Mark Read, who organized the “bat-signal” project. He tells Boing Boing why and how he did this, and what technology he used.
