First Native American Cabinet member, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland See full episodes here. I was so excited when President Joe Biden...
Bernie Sanders’ message is one that all progressives should heed. We talk to the co-founder of Organiz. Trump beating Biden in polls on the economy, crime, & fortitude? Progressives need to message right and promote widely. x x YouTube Video Politics Done Right Live weekdays @ 3:00 PM Central Video...
Trump: “If stupid people aren’t elected, next year, we’re going to have one of the greatest years that we’ve ever had.” Trump will likely flee at the first suggestion that he’s lying again. Bigger/bigly question is whether CNN, MSNBC, or CSpan will cover it live. Live blog below. Date: August...
I was in Atlanta, Georgia, three years ago for Netroots Nation. (Totally bummed we had to cancel in Denver this year.) It was during this time that a young activist was brutally murdered at the white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia to protest the removal of a...
Below is Tuesday’s Politics Done Right. I produce and broadcast this show 5 days a week on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, Periscope, and Twitch. I also broadcast it live on KPFT 90.1 FM Houston in the Houston Metropolitan Area on every Tuesday. I use the platform not only to highlight subjects...
During the middle of the worst pandemic in our nation’s history, where hospitals don’t have enough ventilators to treat patients, where the dead are being piled up in hallways, right-wing organizations have decided this is the perfect time to organize astro-turf protests to infect more people. The protests have a lot of...
Received this e-mail from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee just now in support of Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign: Polls show Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden competing neck and neck for delegates in key Super Tuesday states like California. Watch our new video compilation showing the many times Joe Biden called for cutting...
Why would the DNC cede the narrative on impeachment to the Republicans by not matching their ad campaign with our own truth campaign? It is mind-bogging. Those of us in the independent media and blogosphere do it ad nauseam but sometimes find divergent narratives or are simply ignored instead of...
I don’t play chess but if I did, I am sure I would equate today’s politics with three-dimensional chess. And in the game, the middle class and the poor are likely to be ill-prepared to win. Centrism has powerful allies. It must be repeated ad-nauseam, the American political game is...
Humans are not inherently evil. Have you ever noticed that accentuating the positive in someone many times lead that person to attempt to continue on that path? Personally, I can tell you that living up to the expectations of others is what made me a better person. The converse is...
Snarky Maureen Dowd most recent article has my blood boiling. It is clear she does not understand the travails of this country. Her article “Spare Me the Purity Racket” illustrates a detached thought process too many in the Left elitist writing sphere have. Dowd seemed most upset because Lefties on...
Everyone who knows me, know I do not play the race card. If I tell you an event that occurred to me is racial, then it is. In fact, many of my friends, white, black, and other, sometimes get frustrated with me because I try to go through many permutations...

I saw something special in this white woman when I met her at a Democratic Convention in Dallas a few years ago. She is a Christian minister but nothing like the crop that has adopted Trump as their reincarnated savior. I told the story about meeting her in my blog...
One thing about having Netroots Nation in New Orleans: I was reminded how friendly, tolerant, and open people can be. Now I’m back home, and have to deal with a$$hats like this. Directly from Joel Greenberg’s Facebook page: Joel Greenberg is the elected Seminole County Tax Collector, and an established...
I have documented crimes committed against Florida by our right wing regime for nearly a decade now. Every day I wake up to see what atrocities are up to bat next. Just one example: Rick Scott’s ever new and creative ways to suppress the vote. As one teacher learned the hard way,...
You know you hit a home run when Raw Story, Deadline, Mediate, HuffPo, and dozens of other lefty outlets featured your monologue. Even rightwing outlets, like Breitbart, featured it—for a different reason. Maher closed his show with this on Friday. Even if you don’t like Bill Maher, give it a...
GEORGIA — The authentic voices of Georgians supporting Stacey Abrams for governor are being carried to about 250,000 potential Georgia voters this week via a new digital ad campaign launched by MoveOn Political Action in advance of the state’s May 22 gubernatorial primary. In addition to paid delivery of the videos via...
Yesterday morning I got a text from my friend Stephanie White that said, simply, “Sad news about Tony.” I hadn’t heard any news but I knew which “Tony” she meant. I know several Tonys but THE Tony is and has always been Tony Trupiano. I went to Facebook and quickly...
This morning at Eclectablog, I published a Guest Post from my friend Sommer Foster. Foster is an African American woman from Michigan who, like me, was at the #BlackLivesMatter protest during the Netroots Nation presidential candidate townhall meeting. I have written about my transformation during that event from white-privileged, irritated...
