An Interview with disabilities activist and new Brazilian Senator Mara Gabrilli

In October, disabilities activist Mara Gabrilli was elected to the Brazilian Senate at the age of 51. Many saw her victory as a sign that although a lot of extremism and hatred has been expressed in Brazilian politics over the past few years, it’s possible for this nation to elect figures aligned with a progressive agenda.

It's time for voting to go digital

While social media is helping to encourage young people to vote in record numbers, the actual process of voting is exceptionally digitally inept.

#NotHim: Brazilian women unite against the “Trump of the Tropics”

Like Trump, the current front-runner in the Brazilian presidential election, Jair Bolsonaro, is white, far-right wing candidate who symbolizes a great threat to women and democracy in the country.

Kavanaugh and the unchanging narrative of sympathy for perpetrators

Dr. Blasey Ford herself has largely been seen as credible, which in turn appears to be a sign of cultural progress. Yet the public narrative that has been maintained about perpetrators has not progressed in tandem with this evolved view of survivors.

Senator Marta Suplicy: A provocateur of Brazilian society prepares for another challenge

Suplicy, who is now 73, served in Brazilian politics for years. But even before her political career, Suplicy brought discussions of important issues straight to Brazilian homes through a television show called TV Mulher, during which Suplicy gave sex advice to female viewers in a political era of dictatorship.

What Justice Kennedy’s resignations means for reproductive rights

Often considered the “swing vote” on the Supreme Court, Justice Kennedy spent his 30-year career making arguably the most bipartisan decisions in the courtroom. Democrats and progressives had come to rely on him as a key figure in the fight to protect existing abortion rights at the federal level.

Why Texas Gubernatorial candidate Lupe Valdez gives me hope

Lupe Valdez is a proud, lesbian Latina. Valdez’s represents other underrepresented Texan identities, too: She is the daughter of migrant workers. She is a veteran, a federal agent, and a former Dallas county sheriff. She is a gay women of color who wants to fight for LGBTQ+ rights and women’s rights.

What white women’s votes for Roy Moore mean

Despite the accusations of sexual assault and molestation made against Alabama Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Roy Moore, as well as the racist and anti-semitic comments he made — like his claim that America was great during slavery — nearly two-thirds of white women voted for him.

What it took to get record youth voter turnout in Virginia this year

This year in Virginia, we had a slate of really compelling, diverse, young candidates who were more representative of Virginians than I think the usual slates of candidates are. We were excited about helping get them elected.

What Does #FreeMelania Really Mean?

By now, you have probably seen the infamous clip of Trump and Melania on Inauguration Day. To recap for those who haven’t, the footage shows Trump turning to Melania, who is courtly, beaming. As soon as Trump turns his back, her smile turns swiftly into what can only be described as a grave scowl.

Bridging The Divide

I dressed up as Donald Trump for Halloween in 2015. My costume was inspired by my disbelief that a “sexy Donald Trump” costume was being sold on the Internet. Instead of supporting the company that had (seemingly earnestly) created that costume, I decided to parody the idea by making my own.
