i encourage all Gs to write articles. it’s even better if you do real journalism, meaning get some original, first-hand info (the only time I myself have done this was when I called the police for the “Port Militarization Resistance” article, at the encouragement of Anthony). i think you could do this very well, Ted, because of your involvement with IVAW. i’m sure you could write up great articles about your actions. but just so you all know, if you choose to write articles, be ready for what to you might seem like an intensive editorial process (though in reality it’s pretty mild in comparison to industry standards – usually the editor just takes your work, edits it however s/he wants, and publishes it. at least Anthony tells you what he expects and wants and then lets you do it yourself). it can get kinda frustrating, and i’ve seen good authors with good articles in the works just give up. the first time i went through it, with “Resisting Desert Rock,” i got extremely frustrated, and almost gave up, accusing Anthony of making me change my work so much that it no longer even felt like my own writing. but i just had the way to order information all backwards, because i’m really used to writing academic essays, and i’m pretty damn good at it. anyways, writing a news article for the internet is completely different. i’ve learned a great deal from Anthony’s editorial guidance, and am thankful for all the time he’s dedicated to helping me and others, in addition to everything else he does. every time it gets a little easier. i believe in this model and think it has a lot of potential to generate some good writers (albeit Anthony’s time and resources are limited, so the sooner we can stand on our own two feet as writers, the better. if we can minimize the need for Anthony to spend massive amounts of time in the yard dropping editorial comments, and can do most of that ourselves, then we can just pass it across his desk for final executive editorial approval).

New Orleans: The Day After the Day After:

Two days after New Orleans City Council and Police Department disgraced the city in the eyes of the world, one day after the city evicted the homeless from Duncan Plaza, all appeared calm. Order had been restored, all was without blight.

But only because all the people were gone.

On Saturday Duncan Plaza was beautiful, it’s green lawns sparkling. Not a soul there to enjoy it though. Only two signs at each entrance gave an inkling of the dirty deeds that had been done there in previous days: “Closed For Demolition and Construction.” Ah, the D word again.

And where were all the people who’d been living there in their multicolored tents and bedrolls? I’d counted about 100 such living spaces on Thursday morning.

The Times-Picayune headline on Saturday read, “Agencies find lodging for homeless in plaza.” Note it’s “lodging,” not “homes.”
