A remembrance on the 150th anniversary of one of the deadliest anti-immigrant riots in American history, the Bloody Monday Massacre of August 6, 1855 was held in Louisville Kentucky on Saturday, August 6th, 2005. The instigators of the massacre were the Know Nothings, a Nativist political party who were fearful of losing control of the Louisville City Council. They were driven by an anti-immigrant vitriolic press to attack and slaughter as many as 150 German and Irish immigrants who lived in the poorest sections of Louisville. ... read full story / add a comment

A glaring gap in the Socialist Party's national network and in the political scene of Galway has recently been filled by the first moves towards creating a branch proper in Galway. This follows a recent visit to Galway by Joe HIggins where he spoke on the GAMA issue and attracted much support and interest. The first issue with which Galway S.P. members have become involved is in the Shell to Sea campaign and their arrival has been broadly welcomed by both individuals and other groups on the left in Galway. Meetings will be held upstairs in Java's Coffeeshop on the first and third wednesday of every month and all are welcome. ... read full story / add a comment

A woman called Cindy Sheehan whose son was killed in Iraq is galvanising anti-war opinion in the USA to an arguably greater extent than any previous anti-war protests. She is camped at the side of the road with a small (growing) number of accomplices at Bush's ranch in Crawford (Waco) Texas for the last couple of days and is demanding Bush meet her and explain a few things to her. ... read full story / add a comment
