Is the United States Worth Saving? Every generation has faced a moment when quitting seemed reasonable — and every generation refused. We have no right to be the first.

We are not being asked to sit in a trench. We are not being asked to sign a document that will get us hanged. We are being asked to stay engaged. That's it. After 250 years of Americans dying for this idea, that's all we owe. I wrote about it here.

Mamdani Wants to Show That Democratic Socialism “Can Flourish Anywhere” The mayor is using his “100 Days” moment to talk about “the change that democratic socialism can deliver.”

Le projet destructeur de cet homme est connu de tout le monde, il est donc temps de légiférer contre la concentration dans tous les domaines où il étend son emprise avec une voracité jamais satisfaite.

You could buy my #memoir, A Long Way from #Iowa, other places. But if you buy it here, you will be supporting #indiepublishing #indieauthors & also helping to turn the tide toward a better (less oligarch-y) world.

Tell Your Senators: Protect our Democracy, Vote NO on the SAVE Act Contact Congress today!

The SAVE Act is straight-up voter suppression designed to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. Tell Congress to kill the SAVE Act.

We showed up. And it mattered. Millions of us

But these days of action are not enough. The truth is: they’re not stopping. They’re trying to rig the rules, suppress the vote, and sabotage our elections. So we’re not stopping either #Pinks

Ready to keep up the momentum?

This would be a good time for: a.) STRATCOM commanders to read up on Nuremberg and prosecutions for obeying orders to commit war crimes; and b.) for cabinet members to reread the 25th Amendment and have each other on speed dial.

"Congress is still on vacation... it is insane right now that the DHS is still shut down, the war is still ongoing, Trump is threatening a massive escalation tomorrow — and Congress is on vacation right now. It's truly crazy."

Really happy to see that Mayor Mamdani has taken his team's social media skills and used it to publicize what good government looks like. This is good politics and good policy at once.

My upcoming book, Crisis of the Common Good, is all about the underlying spiritual sickness in America - how we have come to worship profit, consumption, and technology at the expense of real meaning and connection.
