When the TSA dramatically upped the level of intimacy for airport security scans this month, public outrage ensued, ranging from tongue-in-cheek mashups to grassroots activism. Now, designers are taking their stab at the TSA with 4th Amendment Underclothes – “a way to protest those intrusive TSA scanners without saying a word.”
The metallic ink-printed undershirts and underwear blend the actual copy of the 4th Amendment – “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Sex-positive feminism centers on the idea that sexual freedom is an essential component of women’s freedom. As such, sex-positive feminists oppose legal or social efforts to control sexual activities between consenting adults, whether these efforts are initiated by the government, other feminists, opponents of feminism, or any other institution.
Some pornographic actresses such as Nina Hartley, Ovidie, Madison Young and Sasha Grey are also self-described sex-positive feminists, and state that they do not see themselves as victims of sexism. They defend their decision to perform in pornography as freely chosen, and argue that much of what they do on camera is an expression of their sexuality.

Just Say Now: Legalize Marijuana
Our nation’s prohibition of marijuana has cost the country billions, resulted in a massive increase in incarceration rates, funded criminal syndicates, and yet failed to stop people from using marijuana. It is a failed, costly and misguided policy that must end now. We are a group of all individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and political leanings that share the simple conviction that marijuana prohibition must end. That is why we are promoting the legalization and sensible regulation of marijuana through grassroots organizing and direct democratic action.

Counter-Protest Sign of the Day: Jeremy’s anti-protest-sign protest sign for today’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.
Protest signs are an ineffectual way of communicating nuanced views on issues that cannot and should not be reduced to simple pithy slogans.

“Feminism expects a man to be ethical, emotionally present, and accountable to his values in his actions with women — as well as with other men. Feminism loves men enough to expect them to act more honorably and actually believes them capable of doing so.” -Michael S. Kimmel

Hate Map | Southern Poverty Law Center
The Southern Poverty Law Center monitors hate groups and other extremists throughout the United States and exposes their activities to law enforcement agencies, the media and the public. We publish our investigative findings online and in the Intelligence Report, our award-winning quarterly journal. We’ve crippled some of the country’s most notorious hate groups by suing them for murders and other violent acts committed by their members.
Currently, there are 932 known hate groups operating across the country, including neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, black separatists, border vigilantes and others.
And their numbers are growing.
