I would make opposition to indefinite detention one of the 2016 litmus tests.

Also, we had big marches on May Day (May 1) this year, in America. I participated, but my group was pretty small.

The problem is when the masses scream "NO!" the police gangs get out their billy clubs. It may well be that we need another Tunisia or Libya to get control back in the hands of the people.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
