    By Sam Varghese
    An Australian anti-racist website came under a sustained distributed denial of service earlier this week and the people who run the site suspect the perpetrators may be from across the Tasman.
    Sydney activist Mat Henderson-Hau, who runs the website Fightdemback, said the attacks had begun on Monday and knocked the site offline.
    "We suspect someone in New Zealand but we cannot say anything definitely now," he said.
    The site is hosted by a small Melbourne provider which (…)

They planted a rainbow flag on the beach and declared it the world’s first gay kingdom in protest of anti-gay legislation in Australia. When I originally read this news story I got a good laugh while I drank my morning coffee.
    After a recent spasm of anti-gay violence in several countries, I’m no longer chuckling. The merits of founding a nation (…)

    Viva la Cubana y Venezuela revoluciones! Our first full day in Venezuela, and the anniversary of the start of the Cuban revolution (July 26 attack on Moncada Barracks, 1953) — a potent combination, reflected in an amazingly revolutionary experience.
    it was ¨supposed¨ to be our only ¨sightseeing¨ day before the brigade begins - it WAS that, but in a revolution, everything takes on the flavor of change and possibility. As one placard read at a pro-revolution demonstration (…)
