Shane McGowan & Friends: I Put a Spell On You
May 28, 2010
While our attention has been focused on the oil continuing to coat the Gulf Coast, we haven't forgotten about Haiti, struggling to rebuild after the horrific earthquake earlier this year. The music community hasn't forgotten either, and so we're bringing you this video, a performance of "I Put a Spell On You" pulled together by Shane McGowan of the Pogues and featuring, among others, Nick Cave, Chrissie Hynde, and Johnny Depp.
Maya Wiley, W. Kamau Bell & Lizz Winstead and Haiti
May 27, 2010
The BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has now, according to new estimates, become the nation's biggest oil spill in history. Yet instead of deploying help to the Gulf, President Obama is sending troops to the U.S./Mexico border.

March 29, 2010
In 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.

The F Word: Extracting Recovery, Too?
January 27, 2010
Yesterday it was security, today's it's recovery: another nifty, ubiquitous word that means a whole lot of different things to different people.
Is it Fair to Compare Haiti to New Orleans?
January 25, 2010
The comparisons between the earthquake in Haiti and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans have come fast and furious, but often from people who've watched both disasters through the clean-cut white lens of Anderson Cooper broadcasts. Meanwhile, people in Haiti--and those in the Gulf Coast still struggling four years later--need more than blame and comparisons. They need real solutions.
