To put pressure on MSNBC to renew contract for one of its best journalists: Lawrence O'Donnell.

We need to have a progressive media answer to Fox. In recent weeks they have hired or promoted some decidedly right-wing personalities. Former Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren now has her own show on MSNBC. Former communications director for George W, Bush, Nicolle Wallace, also just premiered a new program. Likewise conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt. This week MSNBC announced that it has hired old-school conservative George Will away from Fox News.

Keep Lawrence O' Donnell on MSNBC!

Sugar-sweetened beverages are the main source of added sugar in our diet. It is critical that the funds from San Francisco's Sugary Drinks Distributor Tax go towards programs to prevent obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, and heart disease amongst the city's most vulnerable populations. Recommendations for these funds must happen by and through the 16 member advisory committee. We urge the Mayor to sequester the funds from January-June 2018 to allow the advisory committee to make its recommendations.

HELP! Andrew Lack, the new Chairman of NBC News and MSNBC is veering MSNBC to the hard-right, bringing on former Fox News TV hosts, Greta Von Susteren, Megyn Kelly (and rumors are that Hugh Hewitt will be given some sort of weekend talk show!) But that's not far enough for Mr. Lack. He wants to deprive liberals of the few remaining brave, intelligent and enlightened liberal voices left in mainstream media! Apparently, he hasn't renewed Lawrence O'Donnell's highly rated late-night program, THE LAST WORD, and it just has four weeks left before it could go off the air for good!!!! According to a news article in the Huffington Post, "There is a fear, among some at MSNBC, that Lack is making programming decisions in an effort to appease the Trump administration (an accusation that has been made of CNN and Fox News), which may lead to more access to the White House and in turn, conservative viewers." Also mentioned in this same article, "According to three sources, Trump has pressured MSNBC President Phil Griffin to fire O’Donnell on multiple occasions. " If you love JOY REID, RACHEL MADDOW, CHRIS HAYES AND LAWRENCE O'DONNELL, we, as viewers, must fight to keep them on the air and off of Andrew Lack's chopping block! Take to Twitter and Facebook and start your own SAVE, "THE LAST WORD" campaign. Call and write NBC News. Most importantly, keep watching THE LAST WORD with Lawrence O'Donnell!

Eight members of Local 33-UNITE HERE, the union for graduate teachers at Yale, are fasting to protest the university’s refusal to bargain with us. Here’s why: We voted to unionize in February. But Yale has refused to negotiate. Instead the university has engaged in months of legal delay, attempting to buy time until Donald Trump can seat new appointees to the National Labor Relations Board who will void our votes and roll back our rights. We’ve done all this for a simple reason. We want a voice and a seat at the table. Our members, like many young workers in this economy, have to deal with intense economic insecurity. We face punishing competition in a declining career track. Women experience an epidemic of sexual harassment in academia. People of color are systemically marginalized. We want change, and we’ve been told to wait for too long. Our fast and fight back will keep going until we’re heard.

Approximately 173,000 to 175,000 individuals would lose their subsidized housing if this bill passes into law. Those effected would include, but not be limited to: 1. Elderly poverty level citizens; 2. Persons, of various ages, who have a physical handicap; 3. Persons, of various ages, who are infirm; 4. Persons, of various ages, who have severe, debilitating illnesses; 5. Retirees 6. Veterans 7. Children Just to name a few. If this bill passes into law, there will no doubt be other states of the union who will follow suit. Help us stop this miscreant legislation from becoming law.

Loss of network neutrality would jeopardize our privacy, allowing Internet providers to track our correspondence, transactions and target us for advertising, limiting small companies adequate Internet presence.

Father of the Pride was an amazing show and has been gone for too long, and it must make a comeback!

The special tax laws violate the 1st amendment,. the special laws relieve RO's from filing tax returns and all transparency. Since a RO doesn't even have to file for this designation there is no way to know how many exist or if money is being collected by or used to fund terrorist organizations. All religious organizations should register as regular 501(c)(3) non profits if they want to avoid paying taxes. There must be transparency.

As a veterinarian, I have seen first-hand how medical cannabis benefits animals in ways conventional Western medicine cannot. Currently, veterinarians are being threatened with disciplinary action if they have "involvement in the treatment of an animal with marijuana or hemp." Let's allow veterinarians to do what they are trained to do- provide recommendations for the safe and effective treatment of pets.
