Climate matters. We vote.

The Cranky Users group was founded in 2011 for DKos users who thought DK4 was scary or weird or hard to figure out. We made our way through DK4 and DK5, and now we're back!

I am creating this group for civil, non name calling discussion of race issues at daily kos. I will moderate the group and will insist on the following of these ground rules.

If you are interested, please join the group.

The EcoJustice series discusses environmental justice: the disproportionate impacts on human health and all living things as a result of climate change, extreme weather, and pollution. A key focus of our writing is the environmental impacts on minority communities in countries around the world. A key tenet of Environmental Justice is that all living things have a right to clean, healthy and sustainable communities. Today, the concept of Environmental Justice extends to include such related issu...

To advocate effectively for repeal or passage of firearms legislation we must first know and understand current law and policy, and how both are implemented, where we live. There is enormous variability across the country; the relative utility/relative risk of firearms is different on a 500 acre ranch in Montana than for a 1000 square foot apartment in New York. State and local laws reflect that diversity. We will discuss firearms law and policy with an emphasis on the many historical ethics an...

We are progressive Michael Moore fans at the Daily Kos. This group exists to discuss his various documentary films and diaries at the Daily Kos. Too many diaries go by too quickly. As such there is a need at the Daily Kos for an environment that allows for sustained discussion of the subject matter of Michael Moore's diaries and documentary films that allows for Michael Moore fans and critics alike to have sustain visibility of their diaries and comments which is unavailable on the main Daily K...

In "Why I Write" (1946), George Orwell wrote a sentence that inspires this group: "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it." Democracy and socialism belong together, and neither democracy nor socialism is deserving of its name without incorporating the other. This group discusses and agitates for both, together. Without democracy, what was often labeled "socialism...

A group dedicated to working on the emergency issues that Kossacks, their families, and their communities face.

The last time there was a major rethinking of US national security institutions was in 1947. That resulted in the institutions of the Cold War - a unified Defense Department, the CIA, National Security Council, and the permanent contracting system that became the military-industrial-complex being the major ones. At the end of the Cold War, these institutions persisted and drove a search for a new enemy to justify themselves. After September 11, 2001, new institutions began to be willy-nilly acc...

We are working on a Pain Patients' Bill of Rights, to become state and/or federal law. Meanwhile, meet here, make suggestions, share stories. Since this is a support group,...

Long live all the pooties, and the woozles, and the birdheds, and their people too.

Women for Bernie is a group created to push back against the sexist and minimizing meme that "only men support Sanders for President." We're here to say we exist AND we aren't a figment of our own imaginations, you cannot twist our words and say we support the patriarchy simply because we feel Sanders is the best candidate in the election, and no, not all Sanders supporters are "BernieBros" or "Bro-gressives." A lot of us are, in fact women -- and proudly so. -----------------------------------...
