Make It News

All doom and gloom around here, never any good news? Well, sometimes you have to make the good news.

Half a million (by conservative police estimate) did in Los Angeles Saturday. They marched in protest to the laws Republicans are proposing on immigration, including a provision that would make it a felony for anyone to feed the hungry if they happened to be illegal immigrants. This racist law is also the latest manifestation of Republican class warfare. People have marched against it in Chicago, Phoenix and other cities, but it took the sight of at least 500,000 in Los Angeles---the largest protest in southern CA history---to get the media's attention.
