And got "Access Denied"

with Edwin, the first Woolworth where sitins took place was  just up the street from his theatre.  They were in the process of making a museum out of it.  I wept.  Those were some very brave peeps!

lovely post anni.  One good piece of news is that the wc threads are archived and not permanently gone, making them accessible is on the 'to do' list.

Long time no post, although I have lurked now and then...unfortunately between moving to Asia and coming up to speed in the new office here I haven't done much in the way of blogging at all.  But I did start lurking and finally posting on dKos recently, but have always liked the 'small town' feel of BFA too.  I was dismayed over the rocket/Robert wars and never joined up at Howard Empowered in hopes that BFA would find its footing again, warts and all --

But jeez, with the 'watercooler' stuff and comments being moved without warning this place takes more effort to follow then the most complicated of embedded threads at Big Orange.  If the goal was to completely remove the sense of free-wheeling, free-thinking community, then HQ is succeeding.

Hey Hypatia -- where are you in Asia -- we love to read posts from people's travel around here.  Write us a long one - where are you?  What are you doing?  As much as you are comfortable sharing.

Comments deleted at the water cooler?   Change the name to Democracy for dfa (deciders), and put more flags on the logo.

delete....... (off progressive topic)

let me do the work for ya:

and re; your post on another thread about dfa supporting a republican in Vermont - just who was that, anyway?  and how many times would this make it that Pollina has split the ticket here?  he's a good guy, but his arrogance has given us two terms of jimbo - and that is very, very bad.  Pollina could actually get something done if he worked with progressive dems rather than against them.

Remember, despots will be suffering from slacker megalomania!  This means that we will be suffering from them having that condition!  Despots know to crush all dissent!  Attacking freedom of speech and freedom of the press is the fast track to brainwashing fools into following!
