The same day SCOTUS dismantled the Voting Rights Act, I watched Kamala Harris take the stage at the Douglas Awards. She didn’t offer comfort; she offered real talk 🔥 “This is how they play. They are strategic. They think long-term and they are ruthless…we have to be ruthless too.”

Maybe I'm being Captain Obvious here, but the new Trump/Blanche/DOJ strategy for going after political enemies with ridiculous charges seems to center on finding grand juries in Trump-y states of the former Confederacy like Alabama (SPLC) and now North Carolina (Comey). Up next: Florida

I believed we could change hearts and minds if only we found the right words, if we unearthed facts, if we applied logic, if only we could convince them they were, deep down, good people. They were, deep down, waiting for Donald Trump. constantcommoner.substack.com/p/dont-give-...

These are the front pages of my passport. They’re beautiful, they’re appropriate, they’re images any American can be proud of. Imagine this same passport plastered with an image of a snarling Donald Trump. Imagine his crazy Kindergarten mountains signature done in Magic Marker. Just NO.

The time for analyzing and agonizing is over. The next step is action. The only ones acting are Trump and his regime. Watching them won’t do it. constantcommoner.substack.com/p/everything...

That $130 million dollar bail-out for the military payroll is peanuts. A hundred dollars per person, at best. No, it’s meant as both a now-standard monetary tribute to Donald Trump, as well as a signal that our military can and will be privatized. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“The degree to which Russia has milked Trump’s grievances to destroy US capabilities against it is one of the reasons I view the 2016 operation as the most successful intelligence operation of recent history.”

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

All Democrats need to do is promote programs that actually help people. The people will respond. They not only will be grateful, they will trust and expect it from Democrats. Democrats will be known as the party of the people. It's as simple as that.

Voters respond to fighters (e.g., AOC, Pritzker, Booker) who do not hold back in attacking MAGA extremists. Prefer fresher voices expressing righteous anger rather than old fogies acting as if opposition is futile. Favor politicians who pledge dramatic change, not more of the same

Last Thursday, at our Good Trouble rally, a woman using a walker was passing out mementoes, courtesy of NoMi, the Michigan Indivisible group. What could be more thoughtful than a Honey Bee Mix of perennials, to be planted next spring? It's good to be among the good.
