(I'm going to steal Jon's thunder here and welcome Sara Robinson of (one of my personal favourite blogs) Orcinus as the next guest-blogger here at Open Left. If you ever thought racism was just a problem of the past, or that it went away on its own, Orcinus will disabuse you of that. Jon, feel free to add anything I may have missed you wanted to say by way of introduction. - promoted by Daniel De Groot)
What did Hillary's campaign -- and, ultimately, her failure -- mean for progressives? My offering is a meditation in four parts.
I Hillary was quite possibly the last great feminist heroine we'll see from a passing generation -- that early 1945-1955 cohort of Boomer women -- that produced a historically singular crop of them. And that, in the end, was both her glory and her curse.
Dave Neiwert at Orcinus does invaluable work tracking the white supremacist movement and its mainstreaming into the Republican party, including Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee. They are doing a fundraiser, so head on over and drop him some coin to keep them going. Or just read Orcinus.
