Submitted by detroitmechworks on Sat, 03/05/2016 - 10:54amSo, this is just my personal philosophical take on it, but IMHO the basic Newtonian laws of physics apply to political action.

We're putting out the welcome mat for all you new folks!
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 03/05/2016 - 10:04amWelcome to C99! It's great to see you!
Over the past couple of days, a deluge of people suddenly signed up for the site, over 100 of them in a 2 hour period.
We had no idea you all were going to drop in all at once and it caught our server by surprise. We've upgraded to a new server with more bandwidth and so far everything looks good.
The person to thank for this quick migration of the site is Johnny the Conqueroo (JtC). He is the one-man tech department that brought this site into existence and has very ably made it work for everybody. Please give him a round of applause.
Just want to send a big HELLO to my fav peeps!
Submitted by Raggedy Ann on Sat, 03/05/2016 - 8:29amIt's so great to be with you all! I'll be commenting in the BNR everyday on DK, and will tip and rec all Bernie diaries as long as allowed.
We are here, we are strong!
I'm happy to see the evening blues here! Hope I can load it, lol!
Love you all!
We Are Back!

Vignette,

You can not grab the air...
You can not say I’m sorry, easily, when it’s too late.
Madison Avenue rebates
possess no oxygen.
We all scream for ice-cream
holding on to each other, melting away
as the Big, sugar cone is filled.
The Captain has no rudder
as long as Bulls run in the narrow street
Shuttering
gasping for “Starry Nights.”
You can not grab the air
Overture. Dim the Lights
Submitted by Robyn on Fri, 03/04/2016 - 2:38pmI hear it all the time. We transgender people just have to wait for our time; We're just too new.
A team of trans people are busy putting the lie to that. We've Been Around is series of documentary shorts that chronicle the lives of Lucy, STAR, Albert, Little Ax, and Lou. They are directed by Rhys Ernst, produced by Christine Beebe and the narration is done by transgender people. The team includes Transparent actress Alexandra Billings, writer and filmmaker Susan Stryker and trans historian Monica Roberts.
I know it's terribly bad form to write a diary that asks the readers to go somewhere else and then come back. But I sure hope you do. The videos do not embed well.

WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR DAILY KOS. Please do not repost there. Thank you.
As I warned our community in my first Diary here on caucus99percent, the day was coming when we would receive a very large influx of new (and recently banned!) users from Daily Kos, and therefore we should be ready to help support them so our esteemed host JtC didn't have to do it all.

Down the center of the entire front page, this week's Appeal makes known its intention to spare no resources to expose the ongoing conspiracy to frame and hang the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners:
