Waymon Hudson, one of the best and smartest LGBT bloggers out there, reviewed The Progressive Revolution at The Bilerico Project, where he writes on the front page. In his review, he discusses what the LGBT community can learn from Mike’s cases of historial compromise and why it can go terribly wrong for the country. This is, Waymon argues, particularly relevant to think about as the LGBT community is gearing up for another fight on whether the Employment Non-Discrimination Act will be LGBT-inclusive or not.

I wanted to let everyone know we’ve expanded our Portland event with the Oregon Bus Project into something even more fun- a discussion on harnessing grassroots and netroots power with Mike, former U.S. Senate candidate Steve Novick, and Oregon netroots uber-guru Carla Axtman.

Date and time are still the same.

In the edition coming out tomorrow, Tom Palaima, a professor from the University of Texas at Austin, reviews The Progressive Revolution and Just How Stupid Are We by Rick Shenkman in The Texas Observer.

The Texas Observer is the sharp, award-winning, leading progressive Texas newsmagazine, founded in 1954, that is famous for picking up news stories that mainstream national outlets ignored but later made famous.
