Frances Fox Piven & Cornel West: Teaching to Fight Back
April 10, 2011"Poor people thought that they could only enter politics through different sorts of tactics. They had to be noisy, they had to get people's attention, they had to make trouble. I've come to the conclusion that they're right, that lots of people only have real power when they make trouble," says Frances Fox Piven, the most dangerous woman in America according to Glenn Beck.Frances Fox Piven & Cornel West; Twitter, Pay Up

Keith Ellison, John Fugelsang & Dean Obeidallah, and Media Reform
April 7, 2011Republicans in Congress, says House Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Keith Ellison, are treating the budget and potential government shutdowns as an "opportunity to inflict generationally-changing policies" in the guise of paying the bills.

March 30, 2010Richard Kim joins us in studio to explain where the tea party movement's latest bogeyman came from, and how it plays into larger threads within the rise of the organized, angry right under the Obama administration.Tea Party Conspiracies, Max Rameau, and Haiti
March 29, 2010In order to respond, alas, we have to understand, and that means going through the looking glass. So wrote Richard Kim of the tea party movement's latest bogeyman--the Cloward-Piven strategy, which demagogues like Glenn Beck proclaim is the strategy for destroying America and putting in place totalitarian socialism. It sounds ridiculous, Richard notes, and that's precisely why it has such power.Laura Flanders at Northeast Socialist Conference, Saturday
