What I’ve also found is that by allowing stuff in and really looking at what’s there, facing it is actually healing and freeing.

Senate Republicans Screw 9/11 First Responders
The Senate voted along party lines today to prevent passage of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. A few days back, Eddie C had a great diary explaining exactly what's in the bill. Back then, there was hope that some Republicans might vote for cloture and allow this important bill for our 9/11 first responders to pass. Unfortunately, Republicans have shown they're more interested in tax cuts for the wealthy and pretending to be deficit hawks than actually caring about those who responded to the deadliest foreign attack on American soil in history.......

How I Learned the Mainstream Myth About Eating Disorders Was Wrong | AlterNet
Eating disorders do not run parallel alongside a track of bodily dissatisfaction, and the more we conflate the two, the less we’re tackling the true complexity of eating disorders, and the less we’re looking at the threads that unite patients more deeply than hating their thighs.

Obama Continues to Box In His Opposition - The Flylooper - Open Salon
Nothing could be more obvious – and to a progressive, encouraging.
Barack Obama has managed, particularly since the disaster of the 2010 midterm elections, to box in the GOP into narrower and narrower confines. And in doing so he has opened up a 15 point lead in some polls over his likely challenger, the erstwhile “severely conservative” Mitt Romney. Obama, by luck or design, is beginning to stand out as the only sane guy in the room.....

Why the Right Wing Is Petrified of Letting Voters, Instead of the Electoral College, Pick Presidents | AlterNet
Right-wingers are truly worried that a plan reforming the way the president-electing Electoral College works is gaining legal ground and could bring the biggest change in the political landscape in decades. The National Popular Vote plan would replace the current system, in which states award Electoral College delegates to whomever wins the presidential vote in that state, with a new interstate agreement where a participating state’s delegates would be bound to the national popular vote winner.
