Hey, look! Congressional staffers turn out to be really good at predicting the behavior of stocks that their bosses legislate. Outside Capitol Hill, we might call that “insider trading.” Except US insider trading laws don’t apply to Congress.
Angry yet?

Come all you weary with your heavy loads
Lay down your burdens find rest for your souls
Cause my yoke is easy and my burden is kind
I’ll take yours upon me and you can take mine
Come all you weary, move through the earth,
You’ve been spurned at fine restaurants and kicked out of church,
I’ve got a couple of loaves, so sit down at my feet,
Lend me your ears and we’ll break bread and eat
Come all you weary, crippled you lay
I’ll help you along you can lay down your canes
We’ve got a long way to go but we’ll travel as friends
The lights growing bright further up, further in(via closedhearts)

NYPD Directing troublemakers to OWS? From: | Oct 31, 2011 |
Reports have surfaced in the New York Daily News of the NYPD actively encouraging intoxicated and/or violent individuals in other parts of the city to join the protesters in zuccotti park.
Excellent coverage by TYT, and love Cenk’s closing thoughts: Imagine we lived in a world where people could peacefully protest the actions of their government, where they wouldn’t be harassed by people by their fellow citizens (cops) just because some money was thrown around to represent the interests of a narrow few.
Not only do they do this, but they train people to incite violence so that there is reason for the police to intervene.

Welcome to The Imaginarium....: Lucy’s Lessons:We always try to remember. Just think.Only in the...
Lucy’s Lessons:
- We always try to remember. Just think.
- Only in the moment that you find disparity does the world seem so cruel. When you blink and arrive to the next moment you are free.
- The moment you let go of fear, love can fill in the gap.
- Choose your battles wisely.
- You can’t help people who don’t want to help themselves.
- Sometimes, things can be so obvious, but you’re too stuck in your own head to figure it all out.
- When you appreciate and/or love someone/thing, you better tell them/it.
- Wear a mask long enough you’ll lose the face beneath it.
- If you tell yourself and others that you have no friends, even when you really do have good ones close by, you’re leaning towards pathetic.
- Stop being so scared.
- People are not toys. Do not play with them out of boredom or insecurity.
- Be nice to your body. Get to know your body rather than just walking around as a skeleton.
- Life is a constant gamble between “good” and “bad”, “light” and “dark”, “life” and “death”. Take it lightly no wonder you lose, fold, and scamper away so quickly. Teaching them to tango while maintaining personal, internal balance is my goal, anyways.
- When you have chosen which battles are worth fighting for, don’t flake, you’ve already invested your energy. Compromise if you wish to fold before the end.
- As technology increases, we think we’re more advanced as a species when in reality we just get cooler toys to learn the same damn lessons as those who came before us. Advancement comes from overcoming insecurities and passions that lead you astray.
- There may not be a predetermined fate or ultimate plan, but your energy does react with the universe. So when seemingly small signs appear, don’t write them off as superstitious or naive, really tune in.

"I, too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe. To feel it so like myself, indeed, so brotherly, made me realize that I’d been happy, and that I was happy still."
