*VENUE UPDATE (and WTF alert)*: A few hours ago the Boulevard Mall informed us that they were canceling our event due to the type of organizations involved with the planning. We are so sorry for this last minute change and inconvenience. The event will be held in Downtown Las Vegas at the Arts Factory, and early voting…

Today is National Voter Registration Day. Are you registered? Is your registration current with your correct address and party affiliation? (You can check it here.) There’s never been a better time to check. In Nevada, you can even register to vote online! The last day to register is Oct. 6 (next Friday). So what are…
This day in feminist history: June 19 is the anniversary of the day in 1873 a court fined Susan B. Anthony $100 for attempting to vote, at which point she goes totally badass and speaks some truth to power, saying (in part), “The only chance women have for justice in this country is to violate…

She’s cool. He’s hot. She’s from the Bush/Clinton clan. He’s not. Forgive me for borrowing the tag line from Valley Girl to head into an entry on the Democratic primary. Sigh. Is anyone else pissed that the Democratic primary is even close, considering that Clinton and Obama look nearly identical on paper except for the…
I was talking with a friend the other day about how daunting (and completely necessary) it is to research all these presidential candidates. If you’re not completely sold on any one candidate, it can be tough to look at a pool of 10+ people you’ve for the most part heard nothing about. Then I remembered…
