Why You Should Not Bring Rookies to an Activist Fight
We knew they were coming; they told us when they planned to arrive. The bloggers and activists at Blog Con 2011, they said, were tools of the Koch Brothers.

Occupy Whatever is Quickly Becoming Occupy Morgue
The Occupy Whatever has sent another person to the morgue. According to local media reports, an unidentified man died from a gunshot wound just a day or so ago.
