Group Last Diary
Adalah — A Just Middle East
Adalah ("justice" in Arabic) is a diary series about the Middle East, with special (but not exclusive) emphasis on the conflict in Palestine-Israel. The authors of this series believe in the right of self-determination for all the people of the Middle East and that a just resolution respecting the rights and dignity of both Palestinians and Israelis is the only viable option for peace.

Dominating the Discourse
Republicans created the meme "Right to Work State" in the 1940's. And we're just figuring out that the phraseology we use makes a difference? "Cat Food Commission". "Race to the Bottom". The Left has its moments - we just need more of them. Any and all ideas for Dominating the Discourse will be in consideration for a published compendium of progressive terminology and phraseology.

National Security Kos
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...

Pull Their Coverage: End health benefits for U.S. House and Senate members
Congressman Anthony Weiner says it time to defund Congressional health benefits. We agree! Republicans are mounting a scorched earth offensive against the Affordable Care Act. It's time for the American people to mount their own long overdue campaign to demand that all the members of the U.S. Senate and House, renounce their heavily taxpayer subsidized health insurance benefits. These people must be required to fend for themselves, as millions of Americans do, in the grotesque and barbaric indi...
