Stand with the Burmese Protesters via avaaz.org

After decades of military dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising – and they need our help. Marches begun by monks and nuns snowballed, bringing hundreds of thousands to the streets. Now the crackdown has begun, but the protests are spreading...

SMS used as Propaganda

Forbes says...

Thailand's military junta has resorted to sending text messages to mobile phones in the kingdom to try to persuade people not to join protest rallies, a spokesman said.

'Thai people should adhere to the king's speech, be calm ... reasonable and respect the laws,' said one message signed by the Council for National Security (CNS), as the junta calls itself.

Another message read: 'The army chief and the junta leader want to see the country remain in peace and reach reconciliation. We request every party involved to do their best job and adhere to peaceful guidelines.'

Guess Taksin shouldn't have sold the phone company.

"I Want My YouTube" T-Shirt

Even though there's nothing new under the sun, it's time to let your friends, family, and government know how you feel with this throwback "I Want My YouTube" T-shirt. Perfectly appropriate for the current political climate. Especially one where THE MAN is trying to block your MTV YouTube fix.

99 Elephants

These guys know how to protest:

Authorities are preparing to stop 99 elephants and thousands of villagers from entering Thailand's capital to protest the possible dissolution of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's political party, the military said on Wednesday.

"The authorities are trying to convince the elephant owners not to bring their animals to Bangkok. We have to use all means to stop the elephants from joining the political rally," said Prayuth Chanocha, commander of the 1st Army, which is responsible for peacekeeping in Bangkok.

Update: Police chief Adisorn Nonsee says, "Both the mahouts and their elephants would be arrested...."

Elephants will be arrested? Is there an Elephant Jail?
