Last night, occupiers mic-checked and dropped banners at the Diego Rivera exhibit at NYC’s Museum of Modern Art. “Art is not a luxury item!” and “End the Lockout!” resonated throughout the museum’s five-story atrium. The action was a direct attack on the museum’s connection to Sotheby’s, which has locked out 42 art-handlers.  The video features pieces on display at MoMA of Diego Rivera, who used art as a means for understanding the history of working people’s struggle.  Sotheby’s is bad for art. Share widely if you agree.

Vampire Hedge Funds Are Sucking Greece Dry

 
 Who are the real villains on Wall Street? When it comes to institutionalized greed and corruption, nothing tops the too-big-to-fail banks like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs. But these financial giants form only one part of the financial oligarchy. Lurking in the shadows are aggressive hedge funds that are just as lethal to our economic well being. If Goldman Sachs is a vampire squid, as Matt Taibbi so aptly named it, then hedge funds are like schools of piranhas or sharks, eager to strip the financial carcass to the bone.
