On June 2, 2009, the 200th execution under Texas Governor Rick Perry is scheduled to take place. Since he became governor of Texas in December 2000, Perry has signed more execution orders than any other governor in U.S. history.

Terry Hankins is scheduled to be the 200th person executed under Rick Perry. If he or anyone scheduled before him receives a stay of execution, then the 200th person will be the next person on the list.
We hope everyone receives a stay!

An anarchist soccer tournament? What’s that? And for that matter, why anarchist soccer?

Soccer is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world, possibly because all you need are a few friends and a ball. This popularity makes soccer and gatherings around soccer a great way to network and socialize outside of our smaller circles. For the past three years, Austin Anarchist Soccer has sent teams to play in the Mondiali Antirazzisti (Anti-Racist World Cup) in Northern Italy and it has inspired us to create something similar on this side of the pond: a mixture of soccer, radical history, music, camping, film, socializing and education. And kid friendly!

Anarchists have been playing soccer ever since the game was invented--maybe it's something about the way play flows around the field, edge to edge, endline to endline. maybe it has something to do with the collectivist thinking where one great player is no match for a team that plays well together. or maybe there is just something about chasing that little round ball around a field or street or vacant lot that is just irresistible.

So, whether you are a seasoned player or a brand new convert, get a group of your friends together, pick a name and register a team at anarchistsoccer.org. It's going to be a lot of fun and hopefully the start of a new gulf coast tradition!
