Podcasts about state committee

At 4.32pm on the 18th of August the so-called State Committee on the State of Emergency cut the lines of communication to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbacev's dacha - these included telephone communications and the nuclear command and control system.Eight minutes later Lieutenant General Yuri Plekhanov, Head of the 9th Chief Directorate of the KGB, let the group into the dacha where they demanded that Gorbachev either declare a state of emergency in the Soviet Union or resign.The previous month twelve Soviet public figures, mostly artists but also some politicians and military officials, signed a letter entitled 'A Word to the People' in the anti-perestroika newspaper Sovetskaya Rossiya. The letter was drafted by the writer Alexander Prokhanov. "An enormous, unforeseen calamity has taken place," it told readers, "Motherland, our land, a great power, given to us to ward with the nature, glorious ancestors, it is perishing, breaking apart, falling into darkness and nonbeing."On July 10th 2024, the actor, director and film producer George Clooney published an essay in The New York Times entitled 'I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee'. "The one battle [Biden] cannot win is the fight against time," Clooney wrote, "None of us can. It's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe “big F-ing deal” Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate."Where Prokhanov's letter was infused with Soviet patriotism, Clooney's was shot through with party loyalty. Prokhanov pleaded with Soviet leaders to save the Soviet Union; Clooney pleaded with Biden to save the Democratic Party. Yet the functional outcome was the same: a coup - of sorts.Less than two weeks later, on the 21st of July, President Biden issued a letter stating that he would not run for president again in 2024. Everyone knew that Biden had written this against his own will. Some accepted that he had simply caved under pressure, others whispered of a backroom deal or even threats.Gorbachev survived his coup attempt, although afterwards he faded into the background as the new President of Russia Boris Yeltsin came to the fore. The coup attempt definitively sped up the dissolution of the Soviet Union, however, precisely the opposite of what the plotters had intended.Likewise, the coup against Biden will likely speed up the collapse of the Democratic Party in the United States. The leaders of this party told the American people that Biden was capable of doing his job but now, after the coup, they have tacitly admitted that he is not. This is an obvious breach of trust - and one that voters will be unlikely to forgive.But what does it matter? The collapse of a political party is nothing compared to the collapse of a great power like the Soviet Union. Another political party, perhaps. But just as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was until 1991 the party of the state, so too is the Democratic Party of today.The Democratic Party in 2024 is the skeleton of the American ruling elite. Without it, this elite collapses into a gelatinous heap. Can the American state function without its party? Can the current world system survive if the American state starts to falter? These are questions that will be answered in the following 18 months - they are questions that are now being asked across America and the world in response to this very American coup.*** Be excellent to each other, and -Get us on Twitter.

The 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt, also known as the August Coup,[a] was a failed attempt by hardliners of the Soviet Union's Communist Party to forcibly seize control of the country from Mikhail Gorbachev, who was Soviet President and General Secretary of the Communist Party at the time. The coup leaders consisted of top military and civilian officials, including Vice President Gennady Yanayev, who together formed the State Committee on the State of Emergency (GKChP). They opposed Gorbachev's reform program, were angry at the loss of control over Eastern European states and fearful of the USSR's New Union Treaty which was on the verge of being signed. The treaty was to decentralize much of the central Soviet government's power and distribute it among its fifteen republics.

Here's your WORT Local News for Thursday, May 13th, 2021: Republicans continue paring back the Governor's budget, Two Madison neighborhoods will see lower speed limits and we talk open records, TikTok and Hammond organs.

Today we discuss Biden's first 100 days in office and give him a grade (spoiler alert, he did pretty well), we talk about the census and what redistricting means for Democrats, and we look at the efforts of local Anti-abortion advocates and their push to make Naples a sanctuary city for the unborn. Plus we have our moments of positivity. But before we get into all of that here is some Democratic Party news. First, it is with great sadness that we announce the resignation of our State Committee woman Sara McFadden. Sara has been a huge asset to the local party over the last 5 years. She has run twice for office and made huge strides in a very difficult district, growing the party with all of her efforts both as a candidate and as our State Committeewoman. She will remain on as a Precinct committee person, but she is taking a much deserved break. A huge thank you to Sara for all of her efforts. With Sara's resignation, we have to replace her position and we are excited to announce that Jane Schletweig has agreed to become our new State Committeewoman. Jane is a precinct committeewoman out of Marco, she is Vice-President of the Democratic Women's Club of Marco, and she is the Region 7 Chair for the Democratic Women's Club of Florida. Jane has worked closely with the leadership of the Collier Democratic Party over the last 4 years and we are excited for her to join our leadership team. The Democratic County Chairs Association met for the first time this past month and we had State Party Chair Manny Diaz and Executive Director Marcus Dixon on to update us on all the Florida Democratic Party efforts. They are doing a great job of getting the party back moving in the right direction. They have proposed a annual budget of 12 million dollars, focusing heavily on voter registration and communication. They have budget money to combat what will prove to be contentious redistricting process. They have had to deal with a lot of unforseen issues that have arisen after their election, but they have righted the ship and are pushing forward. Here are the upcoming meetings to put on your schedule. Thursday May 6th @ 6:30 is the Monthly DEC meeting. This is the business meeting of the party, it is open to the public. Tuesday May 11th @7:00 is the monthly meeting of the Democratic Womens Club of Marco. I will speaking at this meeting along with our outgoing State Committeewoman Sara McFadden. We will be discussing the legislative session and the voting trends as seen around Collier County. Monday May 17th @ 6:30 is the monthly meeting of the Collier Democratic Club. Please remember to volunteer and donate. We are an all volunteer organization and we rely on your generosity to maintain the website, produce this podcast, and promote the agenda of the Democratic party through out Collier and Southwest Florida, so please donate a little time or money to our efforts. It is greatly appreciated.   Support this podcast

Floresville Mayor Cissy Gonzalez-Dippel and former Councilman David Johns planned to testify at a hearing at the state capitol March 22, but learned after they arrived that the hearing had been postponed. State Senate rules allow a member of the Texas Senate to “tag” a bill, thereby delaying a senate committee hearing on it for at least 48 hours. Gonzalez-Dippel and Johns were scheduled to address the State Committee about their challenge of the Floresville City Council moving the city election from November to May.

Thank you for joining us on this special episode, where we honor the infamous Ivy Bottini, who passed away February 25, 2021 at the age of 94. Ivy served as president of the Stonewall Democratic Club from 1987 to 1990 and had a hand in forward progress for our community at every turn. Her passing poetically coincided with the passage of HR 5, the Equality Act, in the House of Representatives. One of the founding members of NOW, in 1970, Ivy became the first Lesbian purged from NOW, because of a panel discussion she organized. From 1974 to 1978, she was a full-time entertainer and political satirist with uniquely feminist, Lesbian-based material, and appeared at Carnegie Hall with her show “The Many Faces of Woman.” Ivy served as Women's Director at LA G-L-C-S-C, co-chair of the Gay and Lesbian Police Advisory Caucus of the State Democratic Party, and on the State Committee of Aging. She founded the LA AIDS Network, ran demonstrations and infiltrated Operation Rescue as a spy during 1988-1989. Rest in power, Ivy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stonewallspotlight/support

Seamus and Ben are joined by YDA Secretary Rebecca Pinn again to discuss recent updates fron Massachusetts Democratic State Committee.

Before we dive into the pertinent topics of affordable housing and food security, we had to weigh in on the insane week we've had after the insurrection on our nation's capitol. We break down what happened on that grim day, call out Republican hypocrisy and petty B.S., and explain what has been happening since with the unprecedented calls for impeachment, expulsions, and the 25th amendment. But we digress because we love a good stupid question, and let us tell you our guest Emerita Torres, State Committee-85 AD had to field quite a few from us. We covered what a State Committee is - different from a legislative committee BTW, how it works, and what it does. Then, we sat there in awe. After we got it together, we talked through even more important topics like affordable housing and food security. We learned a lot and can’t wait for you all to learn more too.

We talk with the committee's leaders to find out what steps Maine will take, now and in the years to come, to create a healthy economy.

Seamus and Ben are joined by YDA Secretary Rebecca Pinn to discuss the recent dysfunction that was the Massachusetts Democratic State Committee Chair election and how the Democratic Party needs to start listening to activists and small dollar donors if they are to thrive. (Basically, Ben and Seamus are letting Rebecca use their podcast to vent. A guest gets some catharsis and the hosts get another episode recorded after taking about 6 weeks off... everyone wins.)

July 27th, 2004 - A little known State Senator from Illinois took the stage at the Democratic National Convention and gave America a glimpse into its future. John Kerry accepted the nomination of his party, but it was Barack Obama who made everyone think HE should be the next President of the United States. Hearing Senator Obama tell the story of his origin, bringing together two continents, two families, two completely different paths which merged to forge one man, allowed us to hope. His verse,“We’re not red states, We’re not blue states, We’re the United States of America!” still echoes within the soul of those who worked to turn his candidacy into a Presidency. He showed us that America is still the land where impossible dreams can be made into reality. He gave me, a black man from Chicago, goosebumps.August 26th, 2020 - I was on a Zoom Call, interviewing a little known candidate for a County Supervisor in Maricopa County, Arizona I got those familiar goosebumps. Hearing Jevin Hodge, a young man raised by a single mom, tell you about the time he told his class of underserved students “I Love You” will make you remember the goodness of this country. Listening to him, I felt the love in my heart and the spirit of hope bubbling in my chest. Then, hearing Jevin talk about how to bridge the communication divide between the four generations in our workforce and how to make smart investments to build our future gave me the certainty that he has the mental capacity to keep pace with our ever-changing society. He has the heart to inspire hope and the mind to deliver change.Listening to how confident and competent Jevin is, one could envision him defeating any Arizona Republican in the 2022 Governor’s Race or being in contention for The Presidency in 2028 or 2032 (Yes, he’s that good!). These are the moments where you water the seeds to harvest the bounty of greatness.Jevin is deeply involved in his community. He serves as the Chair of the Booker T. Washington Child Development Center, is the former President of the Tempe Union High Schools Education Foundation, and sits on the boards of several non-profit charitable institutions around Arizona. Professionally, he is the National Engagement Director of LINK Strategic Partners, a strategic communications consulting firm based in Washington, D.C. Leading operations in the Phoenix-area, Jevin works with community partners to design media strategy and manage public relations for governments, non-profits, and businesses hosting major events around the US and abroad.He formerly served as the Vice-Chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party, through which he spent three years traveling across Arizona to engage people civically and learn about the short- and long-term challenges facing those who work, study, and live in our state. Jevin was elected by the ADP’s State Committee twice to serve as the youngest African American statewide official in the entire Democratic Party. He previously chaired committees that succeeded in passing bond and override resolutions for Tempe Elementary and Tempe Union High School Districts, augmenting the education of 50,000 students in Arizona. He is the President of the Booker T. Washington Child Development Center, which provides early childhood education and other services to underserved families in South Phoenix.Jevin Hodge was born in Tempe, Arizona and was raised by Berdetta Hodge, his mother and role model. Berdetta, the first black woman elected in the City of Tempe as the President of the Tempe Union High School District Governing Board, instilled in Jevin and his brother a love for service and community. Jevin has a degree in Public Policy from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.Listen to this podcast… Visit his website JevinHodge.com… Volunteer for and Donate to his movement.Follow him on Twitter or InstagramDownload your own Vote Plan at https://www.voteplan.us/vote-plan/Follow Vote Plan on Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/voteplan2020/https://twitter.com/VotePlan2020Facebook.com/voteplan2020Follow Marquis:TwitterInstagramFacebookMediumDailyKos

Rhode Island Democratic Party Executive Director Cyd McKenna joins Bonus Q&A to discuss a range of topics related to Democrats and the party, including the representation of women on the state committee and how the party will move past endorsement controversies in 2018.

Rhode Island Democratic Party Executive Director Cyd McKenna joins Bonus Q&A to discuss a range of topics related to Democrats and the party, including the representation of women on the state committee and how the party will move past endorsement controversies in 2018.

The Rhode Island Democratic Party has solidly been in control of Rhode Island politics for decades, with members currently occupying all statewide and federal elected positions, as well as a dominant segment of the state's bicameral General Assembly.  However, in recent years, more and more attention has been paid to some of the widespread ideological makeup and differences within the state party and how that diversity is represented in leadership positions and legislative activity.  For the most part, leadership within the Rhode Island Democratic party has rested in the somewhat conservative, institutionalist element of the party, and less so in the more and more vocal and active progressive wing.In the 2018 election, several indicators demonstrated what seemed to be increasing momentum for progressive ideals: progressive former Representative Aaron Regunberg's impressive, near victory in challenging Lieutenant Governor Dan McKee in a Democratic primary; push back from party members at the insertion of former Trumpian Republican Michael Earnhart as a primary challenger to progressive Representative Moira Walsh, and, several General Assembly seats - and the party's platform - swinging towards the left in and following the 2018 General Election, including the emergence of the progressive and anti-establishment Reform Caucus in the House.In seeking to advance the progressive agenda and to shake up the nature of party leadership, several challengers to party leaders emerged ahead of this past Sunday's State Democratic Committee election.  Although Rep. Walsh, the aforementioned Providence progressive  challenged current chairman Rep. Joseph McNamara for the party leadership position, she fell short of mounting a serious challenge, ammassing 28 total votes to McNamara's 144.Following Sunday's State Committee meeting, I was left wondering, as I often have in recent times, where is the actual center of the Rhode Island Democratic Party, is major compromise possible given the size and scope of the party's ‘big tent', and can the state party forge a clear and consistent identity ahead of the 2020 Presidential elections?I spoke with Chairman Joseph Mcnamara and activist/journalist Lauren Neidel in separate conversations in an attempt to pinpoint where the Democratic party is and where it may be heading.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bartholomewtown?fan_landing=true)

Today we are joined by Jenifer Parks, Associate Professor of History at Rocky Mountain College. Parks is the author of The Olympic Games, the Soviet Sport Bureaucracy, and the Cold War: Red Sport, Red Tape (Lexington Books, 2016), which asks how Soviet bureaucrats maneuvered the USSR into the Olympic movement and used the discourses of Olympism to promote athletic democratization, anti-colonialism, and socialism in the context of the Cold War. In The Olympic Games, the Soviet Sport Bureaucracy, and the Cold War, Parks assesses the growth of Soviet Olympism from the Second World War until the 1980 Moscow Games.  Her first chapters highlights the difficulties Soviet sports bureaucrats faced in their efforts to join the international Olympic movement. These bureaucrats needed to convince the IOC of the Soviet Union’s worthiness, in the face of persistent anti-communism from IOC president Avery Brundage. They also needed to win over Soviet politician who feared that any Olympic failure would embarrass the state in front of an international audience. In spite of these early misgivings and misstarts, the Soviet Union largely succeeded in their first Olympics, the 1952 Helsinki Games. The next three decades were an almost uninterrupted era of Soviet athletic dominance. In the 1970s, confident Soviet sports bureaucrats sought to bring the Olympics to Moscow. After losing the 1976 Games to Montreal, Moscow won the right to host the 1980s Olympics. A herculean effort ensued to make Moscow hospitable for the expected tens of thousands of athletes, international journalists, and one million tourists. The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan, which set off an international boycott of the Games, marred their extensive achievements which included the biggest Games to date, the largest number of female Olympians, and dozens of new World Records. Through a close reading of the archives of the Soviet Union’s main sporting agencies, including the State Committee for Sports and Physical Education, and an analysis of the key figures in the Soviet sports bureaucracy, Parks also reshapes our understanding of Soviet bureaucracy. The historiography of the USSR emphasizes stagnation in post-Brezhnev Soviet government agencies as a way to explain the state’s inability to deal with the challenges of the 1970s. However, the men of the Sports Committee were not just staid functionaries, but a cadre of professional, effective, pragmatic men driven to use Olympism to promote socialism abroad and at home. The Olympic Games, the Soviet Sport Bureaucracy, and the Cold War will interest scholars broadly concerned with the Soviet Union, the Cold War, and the international Olympic movement.

Darrell Castle talks about how the Democrat Party is shifting to the left and how that shift is affecting the politics of the nation. Transcription/Notes DEMOCRATS FINALLY REMOVE THE MASKS Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.  Today is Friday, July 27, 2018, and on today's Report I will be talking about the leftward shift of the Democrat Party, and the effect that shift is having on politics in America.  Yes, the Democrat Party is being changed primarily by the demographic changes the Democrat Party has forced on the country over several decades.  The old policy of gradualism favored by Democrats, whereby they ruin the country gradually so we don't notice, is unacceptable to the new Democrats; instead they want to ruin it completely and all at once. In New York's 14th Congressional District's Democrat primary, ten term incumbent Joe Crowley was defeated soundly by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-proclaimed working class girl from the Bronx.  It turns out though, that she's not from the Bronx at all but from Westchester County, New York, one of the ten wealthiest counties in the United States.  Westchester County is where Arkansas natives Bill and Hillary Clinton now call home.  Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, at least currently, does live in the Bronx district she seeks to represent.  She has what the new Democrats seem to want; she is young, 28 I think, attractive, Hispanic and very ambitious. Her victory in this fall's election is a foregone conclusion since her district is 70% non-white with the largest percentage being Hispanic.  That is the interesting thing about her win, and why I say that Democrats are finally starting to let us see who they really are.  She made the statement after the election that” this is no longer the country for old white men”, and perhaps she's right, but as we'll see in a few minutes it's no longer the country for old white women either.  The young Democrats are taking off the gloves and they do not even seem embarrassed by their overt racist appeal which, as I said, has been made possible by decades of work by old, white Democrats who wanted power for themselves. She says that once in Congress she hopes to achieve a lot of things for her people.  Free health care through expansion of Medicare, free education, and my favorite guaranteed jobs, are all on her list, but what is not on her list is how these things will be paid for.  She says she's a socialist but when questioned she reveals that she really doesn't understand what that means.  She seems to think it means that as if by magic everything will suddenly be free and her new government will reverse the laws of economics. The racist appeal of her campaign has spread across the country as she is portrayed now as a “rising star” in the new unmasked Democrat Party.  Old white Democrats, such as Chuck Schumer, introduce her as the future of the Democrat Party.  No country for old white men, or apparently old white women either, or at least that seems to be the message sent to Senator Diane Feinstein in California by the Democrat Party's State Committee.  Senator Feinstein, a spry 85 years old, is seeking her 5th term in the U.S. Senate, which would give her 30 years in the Senate and make her 91 years old when she finishes her 5th term. However, the California Democrat Party's State Committee Board rejected and refused to endorse her.  When the 330 member Board voted recently she got only 7% of the vote while her 51 year old Hispanic opponent, Kevin De Leon got 65% of the vote.  Interestingly 28% voted to not vote or to give no endorsement, which tells me that they did not want to go on record as upsetting the establishment but they no longer want the old white woman in office. Now I ask you folks; did you think you would ever see the day when Diane Feinstein was just too conservative?  She's not liberal enough for the new Democrats and she's too old and, most importantly, too white.  The Senator is not without resources though,

Mike, Pasquale, and Amanda have a particularly loose conversation about Amanda's acceptance to the Women's Campaign School at Yale University, the completely normal and boring 7th Congressional District special election, whether millennial enthusiasm for the Democrats is stalling out, our campaign for Democratic State Committee, a very special edition of What Did Millennials Kill This Week, and Geoffrey the Giraffe's terrible, terrible secret. Then, Pasquale and Mike sit down with Lindy Li, candidate for the 5th Congressional District, for a chat about gun policy, campaign finance reform, youth in politics, and food because of course.

It’s Monday, August 19th, 1991.  Yesterday, Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev was removed from office in a coup arranged by hard-line communists in his government.  Protests against the coup are breaking out across the Soviet Union.  Nationalist insurgents in the various Soviet republics are declaring independence from the illegitimate State Committee for the state of emergency. This story follows members of a Soviet Spetsnaz, or Special Forces, unit chosen for their political prowess and physical fitness.  After months of intense training and as much as two years of service in Afghanistan for some, they are hardened combat veterans.  Many suspect that the coup plotters intend to use the reliable Spetsnaz units to bully the opposition into line.  However, fate has intervened and this Spetsnaz unit has been kicked out of bed for a less political, but even more pressing assignment.
