I know everyone engages Conservatives on Facebook and that sometimes it gets rather messy. I try to avoid it and often succeed. But sometimes, just sometimes, something catches my eye... like this:

Snope is owned by husband & wife team who are liberals. They are funded by Soros. Be careful what info you get from them. Occasionally they get it right. But go somewhere else & get your info to verify. They were right on with this though.

Capitals are nothing new to me. I've wandered Gamla Stan in Stockholm, trod the East End in London, marveled at the three languages of the street signs in Helsinki, watched a protest against Bush's reaction to Katrina in Oslo, saw the demonstration against the newspaper who published a cartoon about the Prophet in Copenhagen, marched for Women's Lives in DC. When the clarion call sounded for the One Nation Working Together, however, it resounded with a chord that I'd felt vibrating since the Teabaggers of Summer in 2009. They marched against everything, I wanted to march for something. For jobs, for peace, for justice, for my daughters, for me.

This is the last weekend before One Nation Working Together gathers to march on Washington in a show of solidarity for jobs, justice and education for all. From all across the country, people will join to show unity of purpose and sentiment, equal to or greater than that of the raucous right.

There have been marches, there will BE marches! Sara Haile-Mariam addressed the crowd at the One Nation Working Together press conference in New York City.

Joanna (Joan) Freeman, aka Malice Blackhart, a local musician and student from Austin, Texas, is walking from Austin to Washington, DC in protest of the recent Citizen's United ruling by the Supreme Court.

She speaks for many of us. She deserves our respect. She needs your support. She needs your help.

On Saturday past, I received an "alert" from MoveOn.org. Normally, I don't pay much attention to MoveOn's seemingly daily "alerts", but this one called for a rally for health care on the steps of the capitol in Austin. As I'm new to Texas and really really really tired of spending my mornings talking to Texas congresscritter's staffers, I thought I'd go meet some Texas progressives. It took a three hour drive from Fort Worth, but I found some!

Pictures below the fold.

After reading one of the wrecked list diaries about Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake.com joining forces with Grover Norquist to call for the resignation of Rahm Emmanuel, a poster pointed me to a twitter by Ms. Hampher calling for Bernie Sanders to kill the bill or lose his seat.

I've got to tell you. Until this week, I didn't know much about Ms. Hamsher. I knew that a diarist blogged here and got donations through FDL. I signed up several months ago on FDL because of that diarist's involvement in health care reform.

I am not the original diarist of this piece. It was written by a former (hopefully future) Kossak who went by the handle "The Baculum King".

As one of TBK's excerpts points out, this is not a diary telling drivers that truckers own the road. They don't, highways are made for all and truck drivers are no better than you or I. But there is one difference that I will point out that my brother, who drove without an accident for 15 years, used to point out to me. The majority of truck drivers on the road today have been doing this for years. They are "professional drivers". They will drive more miles in a year than you will probably drive in ten. They have seen it all.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is offering up an motion to commit that would basically kill the HCR bill by returning it to committee with an order to restore billions of dollars in Medicare spending cuts. In his opening remarks, he denigrated the AARP for supporting the HCR bill and asked all seniors with Medicare Advantage to cut their cards in half and send them back to AARP, and offered an alternative in "60 plus".

I’ll never remember 9/11 like other Americans. For me 9/11 will always be a far more personal memory of a disaster that had nothing to do with Twin Towers.

A story of 9/11 is below the fold...
