Complaining about protesters from out of town after sending in troops form out of town, how ironic. Whenever democracy is threatened anywhere in the USA, democracy is threatened for everyone in the USA. Hence the protesters.

Please look at the large version.
1 in 5 women will be raped or sexually assaulted in their lifetime.
Every 2 minutes, someone in the US is sexually assaulted.
Every 8 minutes, someone in the US is raped.
Two-thirds of all rapes are committed by someone who is known to the victim.
Less than half of all rapes and assaults are reported.
SHATTER THE SILENCE. SPEAK UP AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE.
I had planned to write about my experience at Take Back the Night yesterday. However, a mere twenty-four hours later, I have decided against it. While I recognize the night to be so much, recent information disclosed to me by a close friend has changed my mind about discussing it. Mostly, because I am torn between my feelings, thoughts, and my friend's pain. However, I would like to applaud the surviving women I know who stood up last night and told their stories. I also would like to applaud the surviving women who did not tell their stories on stage but do so with their bravery as they survive & make it through each day.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

This, in response to that wonderful effort -the "Speak Up" group on Flickr:
www.flickr.com/groups/speakup/
I would have taken a self portrait with the proper props- hands bound in a red cloth and a red tape on mouth; signifying solidarity, and speaking up against war.
Yet when I look around; when I listen, read, and watch -and when I remember-
then it seems that speaking up does not matter.
So I despair.
