In the coming days, Congress will vote on the DREAM Act – a common-sense piece of legislation drafted by both Republicans and Democrats that will give young people who grew up in the United States a chance to contribute to our nation by pursuing a higher education or serving in the U.S. armed forces. It’s limited, targeted legislation that will allow only the best and brightest to earn their legal status, and applies to those brought to the United States as minors through no fault of their own by their parents, and who know no other home.
Here are 10 reasons we need the DREAM Act:

I should have stayed as long as he was to be there to see what was to happen next but I wanted to be on time for my class. Would NYPD roust him? How did the idea come about? Much better than trying to find comfort in those anti-roosting seats [in the background] to discourage the homeless from napping. Yet, something inside me wanted to scream.

Are the Zombies avatars for Americans who don’t vote? Don’t get involved? So desensitized that all they can do is trudge? Have succumbed? Are the surfeit of cop shows an echo of authoritarian palpitations in the nation’s psyche?
Will have to revisit this.
A must read for those who want to be up to date on what’s happening.

Around 5 p.m. on Friday, the online secret-sharing site WikiLeaks released almost 400,000 previously classified U.S. military documents pertaining to the Iraq war. As with their last document dump, WikiLeaks shared the documents with a number of news organizations before they were widely released. Here’s a basic rundown of those outlets’ initial coverage. (The French newspaper Le Monde was also given access to the documents. Unfortunately, nobody here reads French.)
