Hot & Bothered Podcast #7: What Trump’s Victory Means for the Climate Movement
Kate and Daniel try to wrap their heads around climate politics in the age of Trump, and how movements can step up to defeat his extremist agenda.
The View Opposite Trump Tower
Without realizing it, Donald Trump has politicized a generation as no other politician could have.
For Millions, the Election was Always Lost
For millions who couldn’t vote, the day after the election was just another day of feeling dispossessed. America under Trump would do well to listen to those who must constantly fight to be heard.
Notes From a Very Close Election
The Trump victory was far from a slam dunk. But it still showed an alarmingly large constituency for a racist, misogynist revolt against the future.

Hillary Clinton’s Debate Victory
After two weeks of losing ground in key battleground states, Hillary Clinton needed a good showing at last night’s first head-to-head presidential debate with Donald Trump. She did better than that.
To Fight the Right, We Need to Understand It Better
Too many of us on the left treat the right as a monolith—and it’s keeping us from effectively fighting back.
Racial Politics After Obama
Far from heralding a “post-racial” era, the Age of Obama has fostered an intense racialization of U.S. politics and an eruption of agonistic identity politics across partisan lines.
