Responsible Investment: Gates Foundation and the California Model Given the magnitude of the global crises we face, we'd hope the key nonprofits trying to address them would use every appropriate tool to maximize their impact. Yet, Seattle's Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which does much good with its programs (particularly its global immunization efforts), is missing a significant opportunity by not aligning the foundation's investment commitments with its larger social goals.

Target Global Warming, Target Exon Those who dismiss global warming's threat have embraced a series of arguments, retreating from one to the next as they're trumped by reality. Many of us know Exxon's role in climate change denial, and have avoided buying their gas for that reason. Others have avoided the company because of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. But we need more than individual actions.

Election Fraud, My Ass They just wanted to protect the sanctity of the vote. That's the administration's pious explanation for why they fired eight U.S. Attorneys who were Republican enough for Bush to have appointed them in the first place. But the administration and its allies have a long history of using the specter of election fraud to justify reprehensible actions.

Don't Fear a Filibuster Why the Democrats need to stand up on the minimum wage even if the Republicans filibuster--it's morally right, but also a winning political stand

Gerald Ford's Failure of Nerve Had Ford spoken out, on the record, to question the war in July 2004... Or acknowledged that he was "dumbfounded" when Bush initiated his domestic surveillance program... or publicly questioned the war, it would have opened up room for others to dissent, across political lines...

Democrats and the Youth Vote Young voters have been leaning Democratic since the Clinton years, although Nader siphoned off enough support in 2000 to make it a near-dead heat. They were the only generation to favor Kerry, and did so by a ten percent margin. Now the gap has opened wider than ever...

Hillary Clinton and My Visa Bill You make enough $25 to $50 contributions, and soon you're talking real money, a tenth of my annual income.

Think Globally, Protect the Vote Locally he recent election has created a window of opportunity to help protect the vote, for now and in the future. Linking national and local protection efforts could help ensure that this actually happens.

Grassroots Matching Grants: My Five Minutes as a Donor I've never been the kind of donor who gives matching grants.In factI've never been a major donor at all,just someone who gives $25 here and $50 there to a bunch of causes I believe in, because that's what I can afford.. So I loved the Democratic National Committee email that invited me and other ordinary citizens to make modest online pledges, to be redeemed when new donors contributed. For a moment, I got to play Ford Found

The Lamont Victory-- Next Step for Citizens If we're successful enough in our efforts, the wells of support for Lieberman will dry up sufficiently that he decides not to make a serious third-party race.

Joe Lieberman's Loyalties His prime loyalty has always been to himself, from the first time he defeated moderate Republican Lowell Weickert with money from William F. Buckley and from rightwing Cuban exiles.

Joe Lieberman's Loyalties Lieberman has already gotten endorsement from Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter and financial backing from major Republican lobbyists. He's already suggested that hospitals should have the right to refuse emergency contraception to rape victims, and force them to go elsewhere in the middle of the night. Maybe he should just drop the pretense and run as a Bush-Cheney Republican without any further evasions.

Enron's Good Fight It was all a grand game, like the games played by all those who wheel and deal in the destiny of other people’s lives.

Enron's Good Fight It was all a grand game, like the games played by all those who wheel and deal in the destiny of other people's lives. Lay and Skilling needed no heroes. They made themselves their own Gods and worshipped their own soaring ascent. The actual people whose worlds were shattered by Enron's legacy were invisible and expendable.

Dying for Nixon, Dying for Bush If our invasion and occupation has created a watershed moment, it's one yielding rivers of resentment and bitterness that may poison the global landscape for decades to come. In Iraq, as we know, the chickenhawks led the march to war ... like Bush and his cohorts, most who've made this war possible have never been intimately touched by it.

Out of the Shadows - The Seattle immigration march Maybe by finding their voice and courage, those who marched in America these past weeks can teach the rest of us, and maybe we can find ways to come out of our own shadows and fears and join across our own divides.
