Weekend of May 4-6th -- Get out Revolution
On May 1st, all over the world people celebrated International Workers Day in struggle against the oppression and degradation this capitalist/imperialist system brings down on the people of the world. Here in the U.S., people stepped out into the streets. They are going up in the face of vicious attacks on immigrants in this country, and refusing to be treated as modern-day slaves. In Los Angeles, the demonstration was met by police caught on videotape using batons and firing foam rubber rounds at protesters and reporters.
Throughout this weekend – which includes celebrations of Cinco De Mayo, we need to continue to raise the call: We are human beings, we demand a better world, we will not accept slavery in any form.

A Debate with CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS and AL SHARPTON: God Is Not Great
Taking on possibly the greatest issue of our time—the malignant force of religion in the world—Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion through a close and learned reading of the major religious texts, citing numerous historical instances in which sexual repression and outrageous acts of violence have been committed in the name of God. He argues for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.
