After Downing Street

HQ of the indefatigable David Swanson, "After Downing Street is a nonpartisan coalition working to expose the lies that launched the war (and the one that keeps it going) and to hold accountable its architects through impeachment."

Of America

Ricardo Lovato is the go-to-guy for anything having to do with the current trends towards militarization of all immigration and migrant workers issues in the United States. He is also a very good friend of mine; which is why you should read his blog on a daily basis.

My Left Wing

MyLeftwing is published by the fearless Maryscott O'Connor, one of the few diarists from DailyKos to successfully go solo.

MLW is a site with a no holds barred attitude against Republicans but their ire is unabashedly unleashed against the conservative and even moderates of the Democratic party.

MLW is like a punk band, fast, furious and very metal. Maryscott is like a cross between Exene Cervenka (when she's in a good mood) and Sid Vicious (when she's really pissed off).

I am HUGE fan of this site and their publisher. They are truly the soul of the left in the netroots.

Raw Story

By far the best independent news site on the web. All they're missing is the edition printed on dead trees. Published by wunderkid, John Byrne.

BlogActive

Michael Rogers has become turned his blog into the bane of every closeted gay Republican's existence.

People who think Michael outs closeted gay Republicans for sport, should think again. He does it because he truly believes that anybody who votes for anti-gay legislation and takes money from the extreme right all the while having sex with men is a menace, nay, a pox on not just the gay community but all of society as well.

I love him for every single "I'm not gay" utterance coming from the extreme right. They deserve to have a Michael Rogers on their asses.

QUOTES

Facebook

Facebook's privacy pullback isn't just outrageous; it's a landmark turning point for the social network. Facebook has blundered before, but the latest changes are far more calculated. The company has, in short, turned evil.

Its new privacy policy have turned the social network inside out: millions of people have signed up because Facebook offers a sense of safety. For the last five years — as long as you're relatively careful about who you accept as your friends — what you do and say on Facebook for the most part stays on Facebook. Katie Couric's daughter first posted pictures of her famous mom dancing silly in 2006, but it took three years for them to leak to us. (Thank you tipsters!) But virtually overnight and without a clear warning, Facebook has completely reversed those user expectations. Their new privacy settings amount to making anything you post on Facebook to be public, unless you go to great lengths to keep your info private.

The most insidious part of Facebook's scheme to expose user data has been how the company framed them, claiming to want to enhance privacy. In an open letter to his 350 million+ users, CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed he believed the old privacy framework was "no longer the best way for you to control your privacy," and that the new system would give people "even more control of their information." It would be "simpler" and finer-grained.
