Lord of The Tuck
#LordofTheTuck
Ustreamer - GiveMeThatJuice captured what can only be referred to as "a visceral representation of the impact of American capitalism on the labor class"... Or "Jason" river-dancing his way to fame at the Chicago "#NoNATO" protests last month. Decide for yourself, just what is "Lord of the Tuck"?

Sand Mines

This is a map of the silica sand deposits in Wisconsin. My farm and house are in the central part of the red blob covering the western part of the state. The photo below is of the closest sand mine to me, outside of Menomonie. Imagine this part of the state covered with these. Sand mining is suddenly a big concerin in Western Wisconsin, since proposed mines are cropping up at an alarming rate. Projections are that western Wisconsin will have over 100 frac sand mines in the next two years.

Black Bloc
Black bloc contextualized in political action
An attempt at placing Black Bloc in the greater theater of protest and political action.
A continuing goal of this blog is to take a look at all sides of political discourse from legislation to protest action. In this article I hope to explore the use of black bloc as a tactic. As well as (hopefully) provide context for where it sits in the greater scheme of protest and political action.
