1. Activists defy bulldozers to block demolition of city's 'last public green space'.

Protesters #OccupyGezi to save Istanbul park


Protesters are occupying Istanbul's Gezi Park to prevent a demolition of what many are calling the city's last green public space. Hurriyet Daily News reported that early Thursday morning riot police set fire to several tents and used tear gas and pepper spray attempting to force activists out of the park. Activists are calling on thousands more to rejoin the protest.

The demonstrators occupied the park on May 28 to prevent bulldozers from completing the demolition, part of the government's redevelopment plan for central Taksim Square.

Unconfirmed reports suggest more than 10,000 people are currently gathered in Taksim's Gezi Park.

7. Determined indifference to human suffering. Press that aerosol button, regardless.

They make it so easy to inflict pain these days. Almost anyone can do it.
