MOMocrats

Earthquakes, tsunamis and nukes - oh my. Cynematic, Donna and Karoli on the disaster in Japan, correlation with California, and tectonic shifts in the thought on nuclear energy. Also: touched base on education in the bubble economy, corporate media, GOP overreaching and what progressives can do about it.

This week's episode might be subtitled "Still Waiting for Superman" - or "Lex Luthor, Big Man On Campus." MOMocrats Cynthia Liu and Donna Schwartz Mills talk extensively with special guest Leonie Haimson, longtime New York City education activist and organizer of grassroots group Parents Across America. Talk was of schools (in New York and elsewhere), class sizes, Cathie Black, Michelle Rhee, budget cuts and why Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg DON'T have all the answers.

he ongoing War on Women: Education Cuts That Hurt Kids and the Women Who Teach Them. With Cynematic, Jaelithe Judy, and Donna Schwartz Mills.

Cynematic and Donna Schwartz Mills will be joined this week by MOMocrats Jaelithe Judy and Julie Pippert. And what a week it's been:

Protest is in the air, from the Middle East on to Madison Wisconsin. A GOP majority voted in to create jobs instead seems to be using economic crisis as an excuse to bust unions. Worse is a return to the old culture wars, with a renewed focus on women's issues.

Special guest Kelsey Collier-Wise of DakotaWomen.com will be on hand to talk about last week's jaw-dropping "Shoot the Doc" bill, and what's on the docket next in South Dakota.

Political discourse - or threatening rhetoric? MOMocrats Cynematic and Karoli talk to guest Andrea Weckerle of CiviliNation.org about dialing back the name-calling and combating cyberstalking and online threats.

The MOMocrats muse on the continuing drama in Egypt, the effect of the Tea Party on the GOP, and the assault on women's health in the Federal and state legislatures. With panelists Cynematic, Jaelithe Judy and Donna Schwartz Mills.

The gavel has been passed to new Speaker of the House John Boehner. Hold tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Feminist author and activist Gloria Feldt join Cynematic and Donna Schwartz Mills for a discussion of where women in politics go from here.
