Please allow me to introduce myself

Another exile from GOS. It seems you may have an influx of similarly situated individuals in the near future.

I was in a Bernie diary, where two individuals were discussing how every Bernie diary is quickly overrun with new users slamming Bernie. A new user that had just returned from a TimeOut for sh*tting in Bernie diaries, slammed Bernie supporters as being delusional and paranoid. My offensive statement: 'Speaking of new users...'

A Beautiful Irony

Submitted by stevej on Tue, 04/26/2016 - 11:47am

A thought occurred to me after reading this panicky little screed by Markos.

With news that a pro-Clinton PAC is spending money to “push back against” online commenters attacking Hillary Clinton, this site has degenerated into the nastiest meta infighting I’ve ever seen. Worse than 2008’s Clinton v Obama battles, and (maybe) worse than 2004’s Dean v Clark v Kerry shitstorm.

Juan Cole has appeared at several NetRoots meetups, long before the sell-out nature of the great orange Satan became so visible. He is one of the finest students and writers about the Muddle East that I have had the pleasure to meet. Today's article is by his contributor, Rebecca Gordon, who just authored Not al-Qaeda: Abu Zubayda as Bush’s Mengele Experiment

Carbon Fee & Dividend; James Hansen is still fighting the good fight.

Submitted by tle on Tue, 04/26/2016 - 9:05am

James Hansen is still speaking out for a carbon fee & dividend system. In an interview with Yale 360 a few weeks ago, he said

The one thing, which is most important, is the assertion by the fossil fuel industry and the people who support them, that it would be expensive to solve the problem, is absolutely wrong. There have been economic studies that show if you add a gradually rising fee to fossil fuels, by collecting a fee on fossil fuel companies at the source, the domestic mine, or port of entry, and if you distribute the money to the public, an equal amount to all legal residents, it would actually spur the economy. (emphasis added)

If Bernie doesn't clinch it today, I will shift my focus.

If Bernie Sanders doesn't clinch it today, I will continue donating through the convention, but will shift most of my money downballot progressives & to the Green Party & Jill Stein. Inside/Outside strategies are not about putting all our eggs in one basket. I really do hope Bernie considers breaking as a new party. He has the name recognition & willing donors to do it.

Hillary Clinton, the Feminist who is Open to Taking Choice out of "Pro-Choice"

Submitted by Older and Wiser Now on Tue, 04/26/2016 - 6:07am

I am one of the tiny percentage of women who was blessed to receive a late-term abortion when I needed it. “Blessed” is a strange word to use about a procedure I literally cried throughout, but the truth is, that D&C freed me from my own private hell. Other women, mostly invisible to the public, are not so blessed. Heartbroken and grieving, they are forced by law to face additional torments.
