Leno/Migden Showdown and the New Queer Politics
The race for California State Senate that will pit a termed-out gay State Assemblymember against the incumbent lesbian Senator is yet another indication of the way that gay politics has changed in the past decade. More and more queer energy and time is being spent electing and re-electing out queer politicians than on tackling the big issues within the LGBT community, such as homelessness and the lack of affordable housing for youth, seniors and people with AIDS....

School Beat: “Geeks of Color” Go to Head of Class
According to the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning only 24% of black and 30% of Latino students in California public schools scored at their grade level in mathematics. Getting a second-class education in a poorly-resourced school district is a raw deal for any kid, but it’s double jeopardy for high achieving black and Latino high school students who show early interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). They not only face poorly equipped classrooms and w...

The idea is to convert the current health care crisis into a huge transfer of money to health insurance companies and banks, with poor and lower-income people being hurt the most!
Protests are starting to be organ...
