Stop threatening it and just do it.

Time for Mamdani and Obama to go to a baseball game with the Pope. Let’s just blow this whole thing wide open.

Truth. Enough of us are pissed off enough to organize giant protests and do it for free. Organizing digital action is feasible.

Social media has done more harm to the Democrats than to the Republicans, both by weakening their young people (e.g., their requests for trigger warnings and safe spaces) and also by radicalizing them. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/o...

I hear you & you’re not wrong. That said, the tides are changing, the landscape is shifting, pick your metaphor. The Indivisible mothership is a force to be reckoned with. Local groups endorse local candidates. That endorsement goes a long way. Their top criteria is “who is going to fight for us?”

Orban's chances of winning Hungary election drop after JD Vance rally Orban is one of President Donald Trump's key European political allies.

This needs to be a dem campaign strategy-“(republican candidate) is endorsed by DJT, JDV, AND Elon musk!” Everywhere. Local, state, national elections. Social media. Commercials. Yard signs. Flyers under windshield wipers. Airplane flyovers. Skywriting. Billboards.

It's an every two week event hosted by Peace, Love, & a Handshake. We hold signs for the border crossers to see for about an hour; then we picnic & hang out with awesome people; then we line up, Canadians in one line and Americans in another, and we shake hands under the Peace Arch.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
