Faces and Facets of Transgender Experience
January 15, 2011
Half a century after Dr. King, the civil rights struggle continues and one group still pushing even to be understood, let alone included in what President Obama would call the circle of our concern are transgender people, people who feel their gender and their physical bodies don't match.

Phil Ochs, Transgender Experience, and John Fugelsang
January 14, 2011
"Phil was always a little ahead of the curve," says Ken Bowser, the director of a new documentary on 1960s protest singer Phil Ochs. Ochs wrote and performed folk music in its heyday, weighing in on major political issues of his time and connecting with other singer-activists around the world, from Bob Dylan to Chilean singer Victor Jara. Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune talks to people, from Sean Penn to Christopher Hitchens, who were touched by Ochs's music and who knew the singer, who took his own life in 1976 at age 35.

The F Word: Spending Political Capital, Now!
August 13, 2009
For many, like NASA scientist James Hansen who has issued urgent plea after plea for direct action, a cap and trade solution is barely adequate. But even that we are told is probably off the table until sometime in 2010. George Bush was fond of talking about what he called political capital even when he didn’t really have it. The Democrats on the other hand seem unwilling to spend the political capital they have. On healthcare. Housing. Climate and the environment. When it does run out—and it will--they’ll be wishing they’d paid a little more attention to the fierce urgency of now.
