What are some of your favorite progressive sources? Make suggestions to add to a master list.

Hi DU:

Now that we have the group, let's develop a list of resources to maintain in a thread we can pin to the top of the board.

Proposing a new DU Group:

Hi Skinner,

A discussion with others interested in posting less mainstream and newly emerging, media resources and modes for accessing content prompted us to gauge interest with this OP:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023884126

Progressive Media Resources Access Group

Statement of Purpose:

A safe place to share and discuss wider ranging news, views and opinion from both internal alternative US news sources and Global sources available through external wireless or ethernet connected alternative delivery systems.

Alternative formats might include podcasts, streams, and other emerging formats that carry Left/Progressive Voices reporting about Current Topics in USA/Politics/Global Financial, Food and Water Resources, Climate Change News, etc.

If approved, we think it's a good fit under the DU "Media" and the "Activism" columns.

What do you guys think?

Do we have enough support?

Thanks, NYC_SKP

This is a time of shame and sorrow. It is not a day for politics.

EDIT to add link to the full speech, RFK, April 5, 1968, given the day after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
http://www.vsotd.com/Article.php?art_num=4651
AND hat tip to Robb for his original post in the GCRA group: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12624998

Except as noted, the following words are those of Robert F. Kennedy:

[font size=3]"This is a time of shame and sorrow. It is not a day for politics."

"I have saved this one opportunity, my only event of today, to speak briefly to you about the mindless menace of violence in America which again stains our land and every one of our lives."

"It is not the concern of any one race.The victims of the violence are black and white, rich and poor, young and old, famous and unknown."

"They are, most important of all, human beings whom other human beings loved and needed. No one - no matter where he lives or what he does - can be certain who will suffer from some senseless act of bloodshed. And yet it goes on and on and on in this country of ours."

"Why? What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet."

"No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero; and an uncontrolled, uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness, not the voice of reason."

"Whenever any American's life is taken by another American unnecessarily - whether it is done in the name of the law or in the defiance of the law, by one man or a gang, in cold blood or in passion, in an attack of violence or in response to violence - whenever we tear at the fabric of the life which another man has painfully and clumsily woven for himself and his children, the whole nation is degraded."

"Among free men," said Abraham Lincoln, "there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and those who take such appeal are sure to lose their cause and pay the costs."

"Some look for scapegoats, others look for conspiracies, but this much is clear: violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul."

April 5, 1968 [/font size]

It's a tough row to hoe. Maybe it's not so tough with people in the real world.

But people on a discussion board can be pretty difficult to reason with.

To your suggestions I would add:

-- Forfeiture of guns and gun ownership rights for minor gun incidents, like a negligent discharge, with possible restoral of rights if one passes a comprehensive gun safety course.

-- Permanent forfeiture of guns and ownership rights for proven misuse of guns, ie use to intimidate, to vandalize, use in a violent act, use to shoot out tires, etc...

-- Comprehensive gun safety training required for all new and used gun purchases and transfers. Same for ammo. No card, no gun, no ammo.

-- Where a firearm is sold to a person in a household where there are minors, the owner must affirmatively demonstrate that tools and strategies are in place to safely store the firearms.

-- Children of school age should be provided with gun safety training sessions annually, as we've done in the past with drugs, tobacco, STDs, and driving.

These are just off the top of my head.

Seems the same phrases can be used to describe you given your posting history.

WaPo: Why You Shouldn’t Underestimate Elizabeth Warren (More Favorable Than Obama, Rubio, Biden)

Crossposted from GD, thank you ChangeUp106

WaPo: Why You Shouldn’t Underestimate Elizabeth Warren (More Favorable Than Obama, Rubio, Biden)

"But, a new Quinnipiac poll proves why Warren would be formidable in 2016 if she decided to run. Using a feeling thermometer — 0 meaning you feel totally cold about a politician, 100 meaning you feel warmly (aka) strong favorably toward a pol — Quinnipiac tested the majority of major national figures.

Warren finished third — behind only New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (53.1 degrees) and Hillary Clinton (52.1 degrees). She finished ahead of, among others, President Obama, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Vice President Joe Biden."

God Damn It! I just listened to the recording of Trayvon screaming "Help", then the gunshot.

God DAMN it, there is no fucking way that Trayvon was an aggressor.

It's heartbreaking, his mother is on the stand and has to identify her son's voice.
You can hear him screaming and then gunfire.
Then silence.

Be warned, the 911 recording begins at about 1:00 into the clip and it is heartbreaking.

But there must be the consensus. I tend to think that if one person is strongly opposed to a lock, and is making that stand based on some principle they are able to articulate, then that position should be respected and consensus does not exist. But if some people are just-kinda-meh-not-sure opposed to a lock, then you can assume that consensus exists. But I think the bigger picture is that if everyone is doing the job in good faith and being polite to each other, then it should not be very hard to determine if consensus exists and act accordingly. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12595617 [/div] ~~~~~~ Hi Jerry!!! :thumbsup:[font color=blue][b][link:http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1269|Visit the new DU \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Progressive Media Resources Group\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"][/font size][/font color][/b]:thumbsup: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/121223012937-11-obama-face-1223-horizontal-gallery.jpg :thumbsup:[font color = blue][b][link:http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1269|Visit the new DU \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Progressive Media Resources Group\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"][/font size][/font color][/b]:thumbsup: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/121223012937-11-obama-face-1223-horizontal-gallery.jpg [b][link:http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1269|[font style=\\\"color:#0000ff !important;\\\"]:thumbsup: Visit the new DU Progressive Media Resources Group] http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/Shockwave_73/warren_2016_bumper_sticker.jpg blue color is color:#0000ff
