http://www.progressive.org"The Progressive" in its own words:
"In 1929, La Follette's Weekly changed its name to The
Progressive, but the views of the magazine have remained
remarkably consistent over the years. The Progressive, a monthly
since 1948, has steadfastly stood against militarism, the
concentration of power in corporate hands, and the
disenfranchisement of the citizenry. It has continued to champion
peace, social and economic justice, civil rights, civil liberties,
human rights, a preserved environment, and a reinvigorated
democracy. Its bedrock values remain non-violence and freedom of
speech."
I found this site after I recently saw the George Clooney film
"Good Night, and Good Luck" which was about the McCarthy era. A
very good film with interesting use of actual newsreel material
from the time. It made a very powerful argument for the need to
stand against "thought police" in all their manifestations.
This page featuring a series of articles by Mathew Rothschild
argues that we are today at risk of falling into the trap created
when the "thought police" are allowed free rein:
