Naomi Klein: The Search for BP's Oil
January 26, 2011As we've noted before, the oil from BP's spill in the Gulf didn't just magically disappear. Naomi Klein and Big Noise Films' Jacqui Soohen headed to the Gulf aboard the research vessel Weatherbird II, they found plenty of evidence of the damage still being done. It's not just the birds and dolphins we have to worry about, the scientists note in this report from our friends at the Nation.Biko Baker, Jane Hamsher, Naomi Klein & State of the Union
January 25, 2011Barack Obama isn't the only one giving a talk tonight--the League of Young Voters will be bringing together some top thinkers, activists, and artists to have a live conversation streaming on the Web, as well as on Twitter and Facebook. "We have to keep going deeper," notes Biko Baker, the League's executive director, "We have to step up and be a lot stronger on jobs."Naomi Klein: Building a Real Left
September 14, 2010"We have to build that independent left. It has to be so strong and so radical and so militant and so powerful that it becomes irresistible." Who better to say such a thing than Naomi Klein, Nation columnist, author of The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, and longtime rabblerouser?Making the Invisible People Visible
September 14, 2010Naomi Klein noted as well, "We don't have the ability to make the economically disposed-of people visible." Indeed, all over the country people are struggling just to survive in the current economic climate. Invisible People is a project aimed at doing just what Klein asked--making those people visible again. In this clip, they bring us the story of Jean and her kids.Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Naomi Klein, and Invisible People
September 13, 2010"We need to be covering the left as much as we cover, with anxiety, the right," notes Nation contributor and Princeton professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell. The lack of coverage of progressive movements, protests, and actions in the face of a loud, angry and well-funded right wing can be disheartening, but we know they are out there, and in some cases fighting hard to keep a Tea Party backed Republican party from taking back seats in Congress during the midterms.Militarizing Haiti: The Shock Doctrine at Work?

January 14, 2010Things to remember while helping Haiti. That's the benign-sounding headline on a Heritage Foundation paper regarding the disaster in Haiti. Released just hours after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit, the pro-corporate analysts at Heritage suggested that the US response should think beyond the immediate...to "address long-held concerns over the fragile political environment that exists in the region."Year in Review: Why Can't We Fire the Boss?
December 28, 2009This year saw a lot of economic upheaval and at least in the beginning, some militant labor action that the U.S. has grown unused to. Back in May, Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis appeared on GRITtv along with labor activists from around the country to ask the all-important question: Why can't we fire the boss?Week In Review: John Perkins & Russ Baker on Secret Empires
