As everyone probably knows, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed in Memphis in 1968 by an assassin's bullet, but it's often forgotten that he was in Memphis joining the sanitation workers' fight for fair wages and working conditions. King's support for labor, particularly low-wage public workers, was a theme of his work for most of his life, and to honor that legacy, we bring you a segment of the speech he gave to those workers the day before his death.

So maybe they're not so against stimulus after all. In fact, the Republican National Committee has been giving a little stimulus of their own to an overlooked demographic group: strippers. That's right, according to last year's financial filings, the RNC spent nearly $2000 at Voyeur West Hollywood last year. Scoping out the post Schwarzenegger candidate field? Well, maybe, but how open minded! Voyeur West's a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex. GRITtv...

Last week we spoke to Dave Lindorff about Raymond Davis, the CIA employee held in Pakistan, accused of shooting two Pakistani civilians. The story got murkier the deeper it went, Lindorff noted. This week, Davis has been released after a reported $2.3 million was paid to the families of the victims. Davis is free, his secrets protected. Distributed by Tubemogul.

The President has a Rooseveltian opportunity, columnist Frank Rich wrote this weekend. Teddy Roosevelt was on his mind: stand off against the Titans of Oil, Wall Street and mining, suggested Rich. The field is empty. But the fact is, Obama could don the mantle of two Roosevelts at once. Distributed by Tubemogul.

I feel your pain" -- how many times are we going to hear that between now and the midterm elections? Republicans and Democrats all know that the economy weighs first on people's minds, and they all pay lip service at least to the idea of doing something for Main Street. What's ahead -- months of millionaires making pledges? Most notably businesswomen -- Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman the latest incarnation of a familiar breed - the faux feminist populist. You go girl -- the slogan was...

The Laura Flanders Show reports from Philadelphia, a site of both historic and contemporay constitutional debate -- as we've seen at this year's Democratic National Convention. With a myriad of messages coming from all corners of the party, we follow the movements both inside and outside the Wells Fargo Center to ask: how can people continue to do the work of revolution? Our guests on this episode prove as much. Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum says we'll need to grasp the nuances of local...

This weekend saw something revolutionary — not just in Egypt, but in Congo. The V-Day foundation, led by playwright and GRITtv guest Eve Ensler, opened its first City of Joy, a compound that will help Congolese women, many of them rape survivors, heal and learn, as V-Day puts it, to "turn their pain to power." The compound cost around $1 million, and hopes to graduate 180 women per year. Ensler told the New York Times, "You build an army of women," and they take power for...
