#5: Brooklynites
Three awesome Brooklynites: Irin Carmon, freshly returned to Brooklyn from Guatemala, spoke talk about what it looks like at the other end of the US deportation system;\xa0Amanda Marcotte\xa0guided us through the real politics and realpolitik of Obama, contraception, and the religious right; and Justin Krebs revealed the premise and promise of\xa0Drinking Liberally, which promotes democracy one pint at a time.
