In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

This is brilliant and on point. This is exactly it - the Democrats who will internalize these points and lead accordingly will emerge as the real leaders for the time we live in www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...

“The rough roadmap for how to proceed goes like this:

Demonstrate popular power in the provinces through large-scale rallies.
Use these events to organize the resistance into a mass movement that can be called into action.
Direct the mass movement into targeted political strikes: Getting blowout wins in special elections; boycotts of Tesla; etc.
Politicize everything: Attack the authoritarians for every bad thing that happens, anywhere in the world. Flood the zone.
Elevate the corruption/graft in a way that pits the billionaire insiders against the “forgotten man.”
When the moment is right, bring this movement to the Capital for a show of strength.
Use this demonstration as a slingshot to take back legislative power in the 2026 elections.
More importantly, use it to send a message to the institutional actors that people will have their back if they show courage.”Bulwark screenshot 

“Find a leader. Bring people together in person, far away from the capital’s control. Build momentum. Organize your supporters. Harness the power of their mass. Build toward an explicit show of strength. Take back control of Congress.

And then, if we’re lucky, we can start thinking about an endgame.

In the meantime, fight the authoritarians on everything. If the stock market drops, scream about it. Because it’s their fault. When a kid dies of measles—their fault. Attack them every day, on whatever the latest thing is. Turn “flood the zone” against them by not needing to cling to any one outrage for weeks. Embrace the idea of snapping up new outrages every day.

Get hot about them. Be passionate about them. And for the love of all that’s holy, talk like a normal human being, not a canned politician going through the motions.

Let’s get to work.”

I don’t have too many hard lines but building more housing ASAP is both a political and moral imperative and any state or local Democrat who gets in the way of it is in the wrong. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/o...

For @nytimes.com I wrote an essay about turning a derelict lawn into a thriving wildlife garden and learning to see soil not just as a medium for life, but as a living entity in its own right. It became one of the most emailed and most popular articles on Facebook overnight! Gift link 🎁
