Salon: Glenn Greenwald (60) permalink
(update below) As the police attacks on protesters in Minnesota continue -- see this video of the police swarming a bus transporting members of Earth Justice, seizing the bus and leaving the group members stranded on the side of the highway -- it appears increasingly clear that it is the Federal Government that is directing this intimidation campaign.

But fighting the web is like holding back the ocean; it will route around you or it will wear you down, but will never go away, and it will never tire or give up. Yet in spite of the futility of fighting the web, Silverlight is being positioned in opposition to the web, not in support of it This is one of a few great quotes from DeWitt Clinton’s post On Fighting the Web itself. ...Shared by _dot_ (0) Andy (3) Armando (14) Carlos (14) mjs (10) pablo (12) Zach (57) Zach (8) Zach Scott (3)Contribute comment -
