We are a couple of freelance journos blogging the events in Istanbul for Rabble.ie.
This is our most recent report and we’ve been uploading stuff daily, live tweeting at @wearerabble and uploading videos using a YouTube account called giongielty, all the interview-recording, coddling and writing off smartphones…We’d obviously like to reach as wide an audience as possible to help highlight what is happening here.

 In relation to the bike stand here is a picture on of it in good use this morning! After riding the majority of the canal yesterday with the stand it was inevitable that a quick refreshment break was to be undertaken in all of Dublin’s glorious sunshine!

Thanks to the Patriot Act!

The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an “ongoing, daily basis” to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.

The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk – regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing.
