Bad news for progressives/bad news for Hawai'iThe Hawai`i legislature has passed two major laws within the last year: approving marriage equality and increasing the minimum wage to $10.10. Both of the achievements were produced by progressives in the Democratic-dominated legislature-- and over the objections of State Senate President Donna Kim. One might think Kim would be cowering in light of these defeats.

Yes, Texas extremist Ted Cruz looks a lot like ugly, dead, alcoholic neo-fascist Joe McCarthy. But the superficial similarities are hardly the reason why people have dubbed Cruz "the new McCarthy." One of the most reviled villains in American history-- right up there with Benedict Arnold, John Wilkes Booth, Jefferson Davis, Herbert Hoover, Sam Giancana and Nathan Bedford Forrest-- McCarthy could be an icon for today's Republican Party.

The village of Novoaydar in the Lugansk region is being attacked by Ukrainian troops, according to the local self-defense leader.
“Around 15 APCs have come near Novoaydar,” Aleksey Chmilenko said. “Our self-defense guards are trying to stop the attack and prevent the vehicles moving farther in the direction of Lugansk.”

The referendum is in full swing in Ukraine’s Donetsk and Lugansk regions, seeking independence from the central government. Local self-defense forces boosted security, fearing that Kiev could stage provocations to disrupt the self-determination vote.
Turnout at the referendum is exceptionally high, the head of the Central Election Commission of the self-proclaimed “Donetsk People’s Republic,” Roman Lyagin, told Interfax.

Lilly Martin and Steven Sahiounie in Latakia, Syria, Apr 2014.
Lilly Martin and her son Steven Sahiounie have lived in Latakia, Syria for the past nearly 22 years. Both are active writers and observers of the (manufactured) crisis in Syria. In April, we met in a hotel in the relatively secure and surprisingly “normal” coastal city. Below is a chat with them, which I found quite enlightening, also disturbing, but particularly since they have the scope of having lived in the States and now in Syria for the past two decades, their thoughts are well-worth hearing.

DCCC shill and empty suit Pete Aguilar and former Inland Empire Congressman Joe Baca, are in a full scale civil war leading up to the CA-31 June 3, primary. Ceding the progressive vote to Eloise Reyes, they are tearing each other apart for backing from conservative voters, the Republican wing of the Democratic Party.
The L.A. Times is a Republican-owned newspaper and-- in a heavily Democratic city-- they tend to bend editorially towards as conservative a direction as they can get away with.

According to a top secret memo signed by Abdullah bin Ali al-Rmezan in 2012, the Saudi Kingdom sent 1239 deathrow inmates who were sentenced in court to death by sword, to Syria to fight as Jihadists among different groups to fight against the Syrian government. The inmates faced the death penalty for rape, murder or drug smuggling. The Saudi Kingdom offered the deathrow inmates a pardon and a monthly fee for their families.

Several Beltway trade magazines referred to the 7 reactionary Democrats who voted with the Republicans Thursday for their deranged Benghazi witch hunt as "moderates." I assume they are using the term "moderate," as they always do, to connote "not progressive" and as a substitute for "conservative." "Moderate" actually is the opposite of "extremist," not the opposite of "liberal." In fact, the 7 pro-witch hunters all among the most conservative Democrats in Congress.
