• Ella [Hillary Clinton] es el epítome del progresismo - el movimiento progresista secular. Y cuenta con el hecho de que la gente está desinformada, el Modelo Alinsky, aprovechándose de los idiotas útiles.

• Para la mayoría de los progresistas, lo que ocurre en las familias es una cuestión "sólo" de mujeres y niños. Así que los movimientos progresistas se han centrado principalmente en desmantelar la cúspide de la pirámide dominadora (política y economía) y han dejado sus cimientos (dominación en la familia, el género y otras relaciones íntimas) en su lugar.

• The good news is that there is strong movement in this direction of shifting from domination systems to partnership systems. Over the past several hundred years, one progressive movement after another has challenged traditions of domination - from the 18th century "rights of man" movement challenging the "divinely ordained right" of kings to rule their "subjects" to today's environmental movement challenging the once hallowed "conquest of nature."

• Con una relación política abusiva, con un partido político que te está tirando debajo del autobús, hermana, siento decirlo pero no tienes futuro en este partido político. Sabes, lo que le hicieron a Bernie Sanders es lo que le han hecho a cada candidato progresista y a cada movimiento progresista real dentro del partido. Permiten que muestre su cara y luego usan el interruptor de matar.

• We've just gone through this period of years where the players in the game were at least written about as being a Democratic administration, establishment Republicans, and then the rabble-rousing radicals of the tea party. And it was like a three-way negotiation between them. But we are going to enter an era where there's a physical, powerful, vibrant progressive movement that will, I think, be able to exercise power in the same way as the right-wing and the right does.

• The blind spot for the in the Southern Progressive Movement - as for that matter in the national [progressive] movement - was the Negro, for the whole movement in the South coincided paradoxically with the crest of the wave of racism. Still more important to the association of the two movements was the fact that their leaders were often identical. In fact, the typical Progressive reformer rode to power in the South on a disenfranchising or white-supremacy movement.

• Movements are not radical. Movements are the American way. A small group of abolitionists writing and speaking eventually led to the end of slavery. A few stirred-up women brought about women's voting. The Populist movement, the Progressive movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement, the women's movement - the examples go on and on of 'little people' getting together and telling the truth about their lives. They made our government act.

• When our party took over political power, the exploiting classes and reactionary forces went into action. The only rusty and antiquated tool that they use against us is preaching in the name of faith and religion against the progressive movement of our homeland... They ought to be uprooted as a cancerous tumor is from the body of a patient in a surgical operation.

• Zionism has gained my full sympathy and I appreciate
  it much higher than what is called nationalism in modern
  France. It is a progressive movement, a reawakening,
  of which I expect a lot for the entire civilization.

• To solve the new century's mounting social and environmental problems, people of color activist and white activists need to be able to join forces. But all too often, the unconscious racism of white activists stands in the way of any effective, worthwhile collaboration. The Challenging White Supremacy Workshop is the most powerful tool that I have seen for removing the barriers to true partnerships between people of color and white folks. If the CWS trainings were mandatory for all white activists, the progressive movement in the United States would be unstoppable.

• Fame is fun, money is useful, celebrity can be exciting, but finally life is about optimal well-being and how we achieve that in dominator culture, in a greedy culture, in a culture that uses so much of the world’s resources. How do men and women, boys and girls, live lives of compassion, justice and love? And I think that’s the visionary challenge for feminism and all other progressive movements for social change.
