• ‘Obama is the first Democratic president to be elected and re-elected with a majority of the popular vote since Roosevelt. He both personifies and has helped to forge a new and growing majority coalition for progressive reform. Pollster Stan Greenberg has dubbed this coalition of millennials, people of color and single women the “rising American electorate.” Political analyst Bill Schneider calls it the “new America.” In Greenberg’s book, “America Ascendant: A Revolutionary Nation’s Path to Addressing Its Deepest Problems and Leading the 21st Century,” he estimates that the rising American electorate will constitute 54 percent of the electorate in 2016 (63 percent if you include “seculars,” those with no religious practice). And the two-thirds of those that show up at the polls will likely vote for the Democratic presidential nominee. Yet the scope, durability and thrust of this coalition are still uncertain. Under Obama, the Democrats have lost control of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. Republicans have gained 913 state-legislative seats since 2010, control 30 state-legislative chambers and rule virtually unchallenged in states across the South, Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. The turnout of the new America coalition plummeted in the midterm elections. It remains to be seen whether the next Democratic presidential nominee can bring them to the polls as successfully as Obama did. No progressive reform era can flourish if the White House is an isolated island amid a sea of reaction. A transformational president has to infuse his majority coalition with a clear direction. By framing the ideological argument, he or she must help Americans understand how they got in the fix they are in and what must be done to get them out of it. The measure of ideological victory isn’t simply that Democratic officeholders, activists and voters understand and enlist, but also that the opposing party finds it must adjust to the new arguments to survive.’ — Robert Borosage http://ift.tt/1ZTsgQZ

• “Little did he realize, Tyson had kicked the hornet’s nest, only replacing ”hornet’s” with “B.o.B.’s”, and “nest” with “mental leap into tin-foil hat land.” B.o.B. was so incensed by this assault on his brave stance against rationalist thought, he felt compelled to take Neil DeGrasse Tyson to school—vaguely anti-Semitic rap school, that is. His new track “Flatline” not only zings Tyson, it implies Obama is controlled by some abstract Jewish authority, urges people to read the work of a known Holocaust denier, and suggests they check out the author of a book entitled Underwater And Underground Bases: Surprising Facts The Government Does Not Want You To Know. Genius.com has all the lyrics, if you’d like to crazy-sing along as you listen.” http://ift.tt/1PihSAQ

• “Oh baby you’re the only thing in this whole world, that’s pure and good and right. And wherever you are and wherever you go, there’s always gonna be some light. But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now, Before the final crack of dawn. So we gotta make the most of our one night together. When it’s over you know, We’ll both be so alone. Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes. When the night is over Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone gone gone. Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes. But when the day is done and the sun goes down, and the moonlights shining through, Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven, I’ll come crawling on back to you.”

• “Looking at the stats related to how much forest is lost to make way for livestock grazing and growing their feed, one simply can’t deny that our food choices are having a major impact on the planet. This is something that Jane Goodall is very aware of – and because of this, she chooses a vegetarian diet to lower her own personal impact. In the video, Goodall breaks it down quite simply,”… In order to feed the billions and billions of cows and pigs and chickens … you have to admit huge areas of forest are cut down to grow grain to feed them. Intensive cattle grazing is turning forests to woodland, to scrubland. And food in one end, gas out both ends, that’s methane. And that’s an even more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. It’s about 36 percent of all methane emissions come from this intensive farming.” While this volume of emissions can be daunting – by simply leaving meat off your plate, you can cut your personal contribution by half! That’s pretty astounding. It’s so amazing to see Jane Goodall speaking out for this important issue and showing the world the connection between their food choices and the greater impact that they have on both the planet and animals.” goo.gl/iyZqVg
