A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Confederate California
No, this isn't alt-history. But, it's new to me. The Disunion "section" within the NYT's Opinionator column notes that, after its statehood in 1850, some Southerners surreptitiously brought slaves to California. And, a secessionist flag was briefly raised in 1861.
