Links Feb 8 2008

2. ICE Detentions and Sexual Assault, at La Chola.
3. Meet Native Artist Andrew Morrison aka Onestaa aka Ziplok
   from Of Death and Conscience by Shus li.
4. Police reportedly kill five with tasers in January 2008, at the Francis L. Holland Blog.
5. “Whitosphere” term gets WaPo coverage, at FLHB.
6. The real Martin Luther King, Jr., at BlackPerspective.net, part 1 and part 2. For U.S. white readers especially, if you’re not too familiar with Dr. King’s thinking I think these are important posts to check out. Just as a start. Because, as a group, we’ve earned a bad reputation for just flopping out misunderstood sound bites from the thinking of maybe the best-known American leader who was not pro-Empire. And just to follow that thought, some day we will need to live without an Empire.
7. Pro Obama folks: Obama, the pro-migrant choice at Citizen Orange via The Unapologetic Mexican; plenty of posts at Francis’ place.
8. Some folks who aren’t backing Obama: Sanity on the Internet by donnadarko at My Place; CHANGE? by the Field Negro; The Best We Can Do? at Truly Outrageous.Why do I keep linking to people who oppose my choice? Because I’m not gonna be drawn into any kind of web faction over this Democratic race. I really do want CHANGE, and I’ve seen a lot more work for (positive) change within this web neighborhood in nine months than I ever hope to see from any President.
