The following is part of an email I received from BoldProgressives today.
We've got an opportunity to highlight some important issues that the entire progressive community needs to be thinking about at the upcoming Netroots Nation Conference on July 14 - 17 in St. Louis.
Here's a fact: progressives are a minority in the Democratic Party. Or, at least, a minority of its voters. This is true for a variety of reasons that are far too many and too complicated to fit inside a single blog post. It's a great way to start a related conversation, though: moving on from traditional party machine politics.
Well, this must be true because it is in the New York Effing Times. No one else is to blame for her failing to have already put away her only opponent for the Democratic nomination, a little known Democratic Socialist with no media coverage and no support from the Democratic establishment.
Okay, I know there are some of us that are bitter and not happy while others are angry and spiteful (maybe a little harsh of a word) and I get it, but we are smart and enlightened people. Therefore, lets use all this energy and focus it to make this place what we want it to be (thanks and shout out to the founders of this site- great start and foundation to build upon). Forget about the other place- who really cares- it is his freaking loss.
This evening's music features The King of the Blues, B.B. King. Enjoy!

“Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms."

As an Admin. for Street Prophets and Shamrock American Kossacks I have ties over at Daily Kos that I really can't break. I must say however all of us at Street Prophets really miss having our own space on the web and not being tied to Daily Kos. We were shut down when DK4 took place. A lot of promises were made but none kept. Ojibwa made sure I stayed by making me an Admin.
So, what do I do besides bodysurfing? (Perhaps I will do a diary on b-surfing, "The Anti-Capitalist Wave-riding (tm)," if anyone is interested.
Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Foundation has named four transgender women who should be declared International Heroes for Women's History Month.
Just as we can’t limit the celebration of women across the world to just a single day, we can’t limit the great potential of women to boxes. Today, we do more than just celebrate the great women trailblazers who fulfilled roles historically dominated by men. Today, we also celebrate the women who created their own roles and bettered life for their own communities from the inside out.
Wow, I wrote a yuge diary yesterday about why Clinton would lose the general election (see below)
