Infrastructure, Kathleen Hanna, and Jay Smooth
February 16, 2010After our terrifying experience with a manhole explosion and fire at the office last Thursday, the pressing need for infrastructure investment was brought home to us here at GRITtv in a very real way. Years of budget cuts and tax cuts have led to public safety hazards around the country, and the stimulus bill isn't enough to fix all the electrical, structural, and other problems.An Inside Look at Gaza
January 11, 2010Last week on GRITtv, Ali Abunimah noted that it was harder to get into Gaza than to get into a maximum security prison. Journalists are no exception--most of them have been kept out for three years. So the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem handed video cameras to 18 young Gazans and asked them to document what's going on -- for sharing with Israelis and the rest of the world. Thanks so much to B'Tselem for sharing the videos with us.Transgender Equality, El Salvador, and Gaza
January 11, 2010Barack Obama made the first transgender political appointments that we know of recently--Amanda Simpson, appointed last week as senior technical adviser in the Bureau of Industry and Security in the Commerce Department, and Dylan Orr, special assistant to Assistant Secretary of Labor Kathleen Martinez in the Office of Disability Employment Policy at the Department of Labor--but even David Letterman couldn't resist making a crack at Simpson's expense.
