!!!LAST CALL IN DAY BEFORE TRIAL: CALL IT IN FOR CECE!!!
On April 17th, call, email, and fax Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman and demand he drop the charges against CeCe. This time, we are extending the call-in to include Assistant Attorney Marlene Senechal, head of adult prosecution.
!!NEW!! Please CC mpls4cece@gmail.com on all your e-mails. Also please send us an e-mail with the time of your calls & faxes.
LET’S LET FREEMAN AND SENECHAL KNOW THAT WE WONT STAND FOR THE RACIST, TRANSPHOBIC PROSECUTION OF CECE!
While Chrishaun “CeCe” McDonald is being prosecuted for murder after being violently attacked for her race and gender, Freeman’s office recently declined to prosecute the killer of Darrell Evanovich, a black man who was shot dead by a white man after an alleged robbery. While no person should be thrown to the mercy of the soulless, so-called “justice” system, the fact that CeCe is on trial after being assaulted, while a white man who killed someone after chasing them down is touted as a “good Samaritan,” highlights the racist and transphobic nature of the prosecution of CeCe. Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman and Marlene Senechal have the power to drop the charges against CeCe. So far, though, he has implicitly sided with CeCe’s white supremacist attackers by failing to acknowledge the racist, transphobic assault that she survived as a mitigating factor in the unintentional death of Dean Schmitz.
When: Tuesday, April 17th, ALL DAY
Where:From home, work, wherever you find yourself!
What: Call Michael Freeman at 612-348-5540, fax at 612-348-2042, and email at citizeninfo@co.hennepin.mn.us
Call Marlene Senechal at 612-348-5561, fax at 612-348-3061, and email at citizeninfo@co.hennepin.mn.us
!!NEW!! Please CC mpls4cece@gmail.com on all your e-mails. Also please send us an e-mail with the time of your calls & faxes.
Remember to remain polite but assertive. Some key points to mention in your calls, emails, and faxes are:
- Identify yourself as a supporter, friend, family member, or community member calling about Ms. Chrishaun McDonald’s case.
- Tell the County Attorney’s Office why you’re concerned: Ms. McDonald was the target of a hate crime, but she was singled out for aggressive prosecution after the attack.
- County Attorney Freeman has declined to press charges in cases like this at least three times already this year. Remind him that he has the power to drop the charges against Ms. McDonald.
- Tell Freeman and Senechal not to side with Ms. McDonald’s white supremacist attackers: drop the charges against Ms. McDonald.
Tell Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman and Assistant Attorney Marlene Senechal to take a stand against hate, racism, and transphobia. Tell Freeman and Senechal to DROP THE CHARGES against Chrishaun McDonald!

WUT??? Hunting Polar Bear and Musk Ox in Canada
via @AnonKnowledge
on the adventure of a lifetime and thrill to the chase of the Arctic’s greatest trophy animal, the Polar Bear! You can be among the few who have braved Canada’s Northwest Territories in quest of the North’s most spectacular bear.Of the world’s carnivores, Polar Bear are the largest and most fearless of the great bears. They inhabit the harshest and most inhospitable terrain on earth, circumnavigating the northern Polar Region.
This is, by far, the toughest hunt on earth and not for the weak at heart! Hunting the arctic ice pack by dog team and sled you can experience temperatures to –40F with nothing between you and the elements but a canvas tent and the clothes on your back.
But if you are a dedicated hunter, willing to endure the physical and mental challenges required, the reward can be the most prestigious of all trophies.
NOTE ANONYMISS EXPRESS: IF YOU ARE TRULY A DEDICATED HUNTER YOU ONLY HUNT FOR COVERING NEEDS AND ONLY THE ANIMALS THAT ARE READY TO LEAVE!!!
Sign Petition: THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT: Stop the legal slaughter of Polar Bears by trophy hunters

Indigenous people in #Panama defend their #resources
By Berta Joubert-Ceci , Mar 9, 2012
![Cacica [Chief] Silvia Carrera and Ngäbe-Buglé people in struggle. Photo: Carrera Facebook page](http://www.workers.org/2012/world/CacicaSilviaCarrear_0315.jpg)
Without getting publicity in the United States, a struggle opposing U.S. corporate interests is brewing in Central America. An Indigenous woman, Cacica [Chief] Silvia Carrera is leading this struggle.
Last Sept. 11, Carrera was popularly elected chief of the Ngäbe-Buglé, Panamá’s largest Indigenous nation, located on the northwest coast, close to Costa Rica. Comarca [region] Ngäbe-Buglé is one of Panamá’s nine provinces. This region is the largest of the five Indigenous comarcas that have local administration and local rules concerning the use and protection of their natural resources.
Do Not Sacrifice Your #PersonalFreedom to Consume More
Posted on January 31, 2012, tweeted by @PaulJones5627
Do not sacrifice your personal freedom so you can buy more crap. If you can afford to work less by buying less, you should do so, and work on revolution in your free time.
If cutting your spending will allow you more free time from work, then use this time to plot revolution. Do not allow the capitalist advertisers to lead you to hand more of your labor towards nonsense. Spend less, eat less, and use the free time you get to create revolutionary articles. Instead of working 50 hours a week to afford a trip to the islands, work 40 hours and use the 10 extra hours for revolution.
Instead of wasting your time and energy buying things you don’t need, spend less, work less, use your free time for revolutionary activities.
The Irrelevance of Choosing to Be #Gay | #LGBT #ICRR
Hypothetically, who gives a damn if someone chose to be homosexual? Why would this matter? The problem with the ‘choice vs. birth’ dichotomy is that it implicitly presents homosexuality as bad in one instance and acceptable in another. It’s bad if you choose homosexuality, but acceptable if you’re born into it and can’t help it? What the hell is that? That is fucked up. What gay rights activists should have done (/ducks), as I think all civil rights movements should do, is divorce itself from anything other than humanist goals. Keep religion completely out of it. Homosexuals LGBT** deserve equal rights because they are people. Fucking simple.
