Apparently, women’s rights and interests just are not part of the “official” progressive agenda. I am so sorry to be writing this because the Center For American Progres (CAP) is an institution I have supported, by promoting it and by…

Madamab wrote a thoughtful and spot-on piece today about the opportunity we now have to grow our movement into a permanent, powerful voting bloc. How do we do that and what do we do as we’re doing it are the questions I’ve been obsessing about since last Tuesday.
I’m happy today (alright, I’m ALMOST happy today) [...]

But finally we get to what this hate speech is really all about:
Maybe next time around — because we all know this isn’t over — the gay community can demonstrate the capacity and willingness to change that America demonstrated when it went to the polls on Nov. 4. Black gays are depending on their white [...]

Riverdaughter introduces us to a person she calls the “second most powerful woman in the world” — Sheila Blair, current head of the FDIC. Ever heard of her? Me neither. RD brings up the possibility of Blair being considered for Treasury Secretary.
“She’s a very smart, very tough administrator who was right on top of the [...]

Recently, I wrote that it would be both refreshing and advisable to hear President-Elect Obama commit to bringing the number of women on the Supreme Court in line with the percentage of women in the general population, meaning five women…

It tells me you’re a putz.

“So, I think, while I would prefer to believe otherwise, I guess my experience with my two and a half year old twin daughters who were not given dolls and who were given trucks, and found themselves saying to each other, look, daddy truck is carrying the baby truck, tells [...]

So far, none have been announced. It appears that President-Elect Obama that Representative Rahm Emanuel will be the new President’s Chief of Staff. The public face of the administration will also be a man, it appears, as Obama campaign communications…

On Tuesday a wave of Democratic voters in California helped do two things: elect Obama president AND outlaw gay marriage in their state.
Many gay women and men, as well as their supporters in the straight community, worked intensely to elect Obama in California. Their feelings of regret and betrayal are just beginning to surface and [...]

According to WTHR TV in Indianapolis:
Several hundred people are still waiting to get their pay for last-minute campaigning. Police were called to the Obama campaign office on North Meridian Street downtown to control the crowd.
The line was long and the crowd was angry at times.
“I want my money today! It’s my money. I want [...]

We’ve always believed Obama was unready to lead the country. Even if he HADN’T cheated, lied, and depended on the corruption of the DONC and the media to hand him the presidency, he STILL would have been a lousy candidate. Sarah Palin has more true leadership in her pretty left pinkie than Obama has in [...]

Watching the crowds celebrating Tuesday night in New York and Chicago I couldn’t help but smile and feel happiness for their elation. They see their struggle in the face of Barack Obama. His election is a victory of historic proportion for black Americans and a struggle that is 300 years old. They were deeply joyous [...]

Right now, via every channel we each used to communicate our preferences and our desires from the public servants who sought our votes, we need to tell those who have been elected what we expect from them. We need to…

New York, November 5, 2008 —While we still await results on California’s Prop 8 with several million ballots still uncounted, disappointment and pain over the anti-gay attacks in Arizona, Arkansas, and Florida, as well as California are balanced by so much good news from around the country, including the dawn of a new era in [...]

Dear Puma PAC,
 
Today is a new day. We always knew November 5th would come, and here it is. We did not succeed in preventing Obama from taking over the White House, and for that I am both sad and disappointed, as I’m sure are you.
 
But we have NOT failed. Our Puma Movement is barely five [...]

The old adage is that in a democracy a people get the government they deserve. Hopefully this wont be true this time around with Obama’s election since its clear that a lot of well meaning and sincere people, many in need, and fearful of a possible de…

I think Obama will take this country in a very dangerous direction, especially with Pelosi, Reid and the Democratic control of the Senate and I feel that we, as American’s will pay the price. I don’t trust him to have America’s best interest over his own. The media did a great job at pushing him [...]
