textTop priority-Do not Cut AB. 2034 by Richard Cipian

After reading my piece call the Governors Office and convince the governor to fully fund t...

textThe Privilege of Privacy and Homelessness by kirsten anderberg
When I’ve been homeless, the hardest part has been the lack of privacy. The *privilege of privacy* is something many take for granted, but for those of us who have experienced homelessness firsthand, privacy becomes a mindset, rather than a physical reality. And that fortress of privacy within one’s *mind* adds to the wide chasm between the housed and the homeless, often making homeless people seem “crazy” to housed folks. And when one has been forced to make *mental* doors that shut, since p...

textThe Case Against the February California Primary by Paul Hogarth, Beyond Chron (reposted)
As Ben Franklin said, the definition of “insanity” is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” Once again, California politicians complain that our state never gets to choose a presidential nominee because the race is over by the time it gets here. Now the state legislature wants to push up our presidential primary even earlier than before – in the vain hope that we will decide from a wide-open field in 2008. But other states have the same idea too and we m...
