Moving Forward from Maine
November 19, 2009In the second half of this video, from Chase Whiteside and Erick Stoll of New Left Media, we see election day go from elation to heartbreak as Maine voted, by a thin majority, to revoke marriage rights from gay and lesbian couples.Imagining Radical Change, Antonino D'Ambrosio, and Maine Equality
November 18, 2009What are the alternatives to the way we live? Since last fall's financial collapse, we've heard more honest discussion about capitalism's failings than in years. Yet real change is still hard to find. Wall Street is still handing out bonuses, we're still at war, and even Guantanamo might not actually be closed by the deadline Obama set upon taking office. As Americans question whether change is possible in an election cycle, we stop and think about what an alternative social order would look like.Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello
September 6, 2008Watching the high profile role that Rage Against The Machine took outside both conventions (the NYTimes went with the inflammatory headline "At Both Conventions, a Band Salutes Anarchy"), we thought you might enjoy this interview with Rage guitarist Tom Morello, conducted a few months ago when we were just starting up at GRITtv.Crashing The Party, Decoding the DNC

August 30, 2008"this election has never been about me -- it's about you."Kick Out The Jams at the DNC
August 28, 2008As Convention week wraps up in Denver, we get the blow by blow from les bloggeurs Jane Hamsher and Christy Hardin Smith of Firedoglake and Baratunde Thurston of Jack and Jill. Was Michelle Malkin really attacked? Did Ray Nagin walk out of Trouble the Water? Art and activism from '68 to today. And the long arc of history with Congressman John Conyers.Obamanomics, Rep. Barbara Lee, & Count My Vote!
August 27, 2008Wednesday's big pitch from the Democrats was an end to the Failed Economic policies of the GOP. We'll take a look at what Obama's offering on the economic front, and hear from supporters and critics. Then if you decide to take the leap, will your vote count? In the run up to the biggest voter registration drive in history, we'll hear what you can do to ensure your vote counts.Chris Hayes and Dan Slater: What the Convention Tells us About the Democratic Party
August 27, 2008Does Obama’s candidacy reflect a broader shift in Democratic Party politics? Some would say yes. Ending the war is now a majority position. There is a shift on trade. Universal healthcare is—if not part of the platform—at least on the table. There’s much to be done but is the convention this year a sign that the game has changed?Live Blogging Hillary/ PUMA: I Hope You're Watching & Listening
August 27, 2008No tears tonight, but I was impressed. And so, apparently, was Chris Matthews, who is hardly a Clinton supporter. You know Ms. Clinton did well when a Hillary-hater gives her props.Katie's Wrap Up: I Need Water-Proof Mascara
August 26, 2008[From Yesterday] I have never cried during a convention speech. And, though I find Michelle Obama compelling and appealing, I didn't think I needed to apply waterproof mascara. But I was wrong.
